Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Foundations

Measure the Head Circumference:
Use your (or recipient’s) head circumference for a comfortable neck opening.
Chain Foundation:
Crochet a foundation chain that matches the measured circumference (for reference, 55 cm = 96 chains in the tutorial).
- Tip: Make sure the total number of chains is divisible by 6.
Join to Form a Circle:
Join with a slip stitch in the first chain, ensuring your foundation ring isn’t twisted.

Step 2: Yoke (Top/Shoulder Shaping)

First Round:
- Start with 3 chains (counts as a dc), then 2 chains (for corner space).
- Work 32 double crochets for the front.
- Mark your corners!
  After each major section, make 2 chains for the corners.
- Next, work 16 double crochets (side).
- Repeat the corner and section division again: 32 for the back, 16 for the other side.
- At each “corner,” insert the 2 chain spaces between sections.
  You should have a rectangular “yoke” divided as: 32 (front), 16 (side), 32 (back), 16 (side).
Successive Rounds (Rounds 2-16):
- At each corner (where there are 2 chain spaces), always work (1 dc, 2 ch, 1 dc) into the space to create increases.
- Crochet a double crochet in each stitch between the corners.
- Continue until you have at least 16 total rounds or about 17 cm in depth.
- Try-on tip: Make sure yoke depth allows a comfy sleeve opening. Measure on arm or against desired fit.

Step 3: Dividing for Sleeves/Body

Joining for Sleeves:
- At the start of a new round, crochet up to the first corner. Fold the yoke, bring corresponding front and back corners together, and join with a slip stitch (or sc) to create the sleeve opening.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Now, you will work only around the “body loops,” separating sleeves from the main body.

Step 4: Body

Continue in Rounds:
- Work 1 double crochet in each stitch for the body.
- To keep the join invisible, use Ju’s method:
  - At the end of every round, close with a slip stitch into the first dc (not the chain).
  - Begin each round with 2 chains, then 1 dc in the same place—this helps hide the seam.
- Work until you reach your desired length (the demo blouse is 30 cm after armhole division).
Final Row (Optional):
- For a neat edge, finish with one round of half-double crochet (US hdc).
- Fasten off, and weave in ends with the tapestry needle.

Step 5: Neckline & Sleeves Finishing

Neckline (optional):
- Work around the neckline with one round of hdc for a polished edge.
- Use your tapestry needle for a flawless finish.
Sleeve Edging:
- For each sleeve opening, start at the underarm.
- Crochet a round of hdc, tightening any gaps, then fasten off and weave in ends.

Tutor’s Suggestions

Adjustments:
Add more body or sleeve rounds for tunic/dress length or long sleeves.
Fit Check:
Try on your yoke and measure at key steps for a custom fit.
Decorative Options:
Add lace or a different edging for a unique touch.

Pro Tip

To make your seams nearly invisible, always close your round with a slip stitch to the first stitch (not the chains) and begin the next round with 2 ch + dc in the same spot. This hack keeps the seam flat and professional!

Conclusion

This easy crochet blouse is a must-try for anyone wanting to expand their garment-making skills without fuss. Its seamless yoke, neat finishes, and beginner-friendly instructions make it a wardrobe winner.
