 Blossom Blouse
Notes:
The intricate lace featured in this design uses small shells
that gradually build to larger shells, creating the look of a
blossoming plant. The effect is echoed in the bell-shaped
sleeve and flared hip.
The blouse is worked in one piece from the top down with
raglan increases in pattern. For the flared sleeve and hip, the
basic pattern is enlarged by adding more chains.
When Yoke is done, chains are worked at each underarm.
When beginning Body, work into the front loops of these
chains. When beginning Sleeve, work into the back loops of
same chains.
All rounds are worked as joined, turned rounds (turn after
each join).
You can vary the length of the Body or Sleeve easily but be
sure to end on rnd 5 or rnd 9 of pattern. This will enable you
to use the flair instructions, adjusting for whatever rnd is
needed. For best fit, do not fasten off Body or Sleeve. Block
garment, and then try on. At this point you can add or
subtract to length of flair as needed.
