Step-by-Step Pattern

Step 1: Foundation Chain

Chain a base multiple of 5, plus a few extra chains to allow width ease.
Example: Started with 80 chains, with final chain count around 85-86 for size. Adjust chain length for your desired width.

Step 2: Row 1 – Edge and Double Crochet Cluster Setup

Work 2 double crochets (dc) into the 4th chain from hook.
Chain 2 (or 1 depending on preference).
Skip 4 chains, then work 2 double crochets into the next chain.
Chain 2.
Repeat skipping 4 chains, 2 double crochets, chain 2 across the row.
End row with 1 double crochet in last chain.
This forms the openwork lattice with pairs of double crochets separated by chain spaces.

Step 3: Row 2 – Single Crochet and “Spike” Motif

Turn work.
Work a single crochet (sc) into the middle chain space from previous row.
Chain 2.
Work the “spike”: 2 double crochets, chain 2, 2 double crochets into chain space.
Chain 2, next single crochet in next chain space.
Repeat single crochet, chain 2, spike motif across the row.
This row alternates dense “spike” groupings with spaced single crochets creating a nice lace textural contrast.

Step 4: Rows 3 to X – Repeat Motif Rows

Alternate between rows of:
- “Spike” clusters with 2 double crochets, chain 2, 2 double crochets, and
- Single crochets worked into chain spaces with chain 2 between them.
Continue until your piece reaches desired length (~40 cm in the example).

Step 5: Shoulder and Armhole Separation

When height reached for armholes, divide work into two parts to shape sleeves:
- Leave space equivalent to 5 motif repeats for shoulder width.
- Leave opening for armholes on each side.
Work single crochet stitches to shape shoulders:
- Attach double crochet clusters with chains as per motif at the gap edge.
- Continue rows until shoulder reaches desired length.

Step 6: Making the Second Piece

Crochet a second identical piece following all previous steps (front and back are identical).

Step 7: Joining the Blouse

Sew or crochet the shoulder seams using matching yarn and needle or hook.
Join the sides leaving armholes open.
Join remaining edges neatly to preserve the wavy openwork design.

Step 8: Finishing Touches

Pick out any loose yarn ends.
Optionally steam or block the blouse for better lace definition and drape.
Try it on and adjust armholes or straps if needed by adding rows or stitches.

Tutor’s Suggestions:

Chain multiples of 5 for consistent lace pattern.
Adjust starting chain length for your bust or desired width.
Use consistent tension for even stitching and motif sizes.
Blocking enhances lace texture and overall look.
Make strap width comfortable and customize by adding or reducing motifs.
