Spring Daffodil Crochet Lace Blouse

The beautiful lace featured in this design uses small shells that gradually build to larger shells, creating the look of a blossoming spring daffodil flowers. The boat neck, with dolman shoulder and a flattering mid length give it a contemporary everyday look. The blouse body part is worked in 2 piece from the bottom to top with raglan increases in pattern. 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 row 1 instructions. This will enable you to work in the border as shown. 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 as needed.

For larger size please do an increases on your ch(s), 116, 132..etc, same for the sleeve. Work from bottom to top, 39 row totals for this project. Reps of row 2-7.
