Pattern Instructions

1. Foundation Chain and Measurements

Foundation Chain (Sizes)

• S (Small): 78 chains
• M (Medium): 85 chains
• L (Large): 92 chains
• XL (Extra Large): 99 chains

Each chain count achieves approximately:

• S: 40 cm width
• M: 42 cm width
• L: 46 cm width
• XL: 48 cm width

For exact sizing, measure your bust circumference and adjust chain length accordingly, following the multiple of 7 + 1 stitches.

Foundation Chain Instructions

1. Create a slipknot and crochet the required number of chains for your size.
   • Ensure chains are loose but even in tension.
2. For beginners: Measure your chain to ensure it corresponds to the desired width. Adjust length if needed while maintaining the stitch multiple (7 + 1).
3. Start the first row.

---

2. Fan Stitch Pattern

The fan stitch combines clusters of double crochets (dc) and picot accents for texture.

Row 1 – Fan Base

1. Set up row:
   • Ch 3 (counts as first dc), skip to the 4th ch.
     Save
   • Work 3 unfinished dc into the space:
     • Yarn over, insert hook in next st, pull up a loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops (leave 2 loops on hook).
     • Repeat twice more, then close all loops.
2. Picot Accent:
   • Ch 4, sl st into the loop formed by the 3 dc.
     Save
3. Fan Formation:
   • Skip 2 chains, and in the next chain, work 4 dc closely together to form the fan.
   • Finish with 1 chain, skip 1 chain, and repeat the pattern.

Continue throughout the row:

• Triangle and Picot → Fan → Triangle and Picot → Fan.

At the last chain, crochet 2 dc.

---

Row 2 – Expanding Fans

1. Set up:
   • Ch 3 (counts as dc), turn.
   • Into first dc, work 2 dc.
2. Work into Picot Accents:
   • Insert hook in middle of picot, and work sc.
     Save
3. Fans (expanded):
   • For each fan: First dc → 2 dc, ch 2 → Last dc → 2 dc.

Repeat across the row, maintaining single crochet into picots and expanded fans.

At the last stitch, crochet 2 dc.

---

Row 3 – Reintroducing Picots

This row repeats Row 1, but now incorporates picot details:

1. Begin with Ch 3, turn.
2. Work unstressed triangles with picots to mimic Row 1.
   At the last stitch, finish with 2 dc.
   Save

---

Row 4 – Base Expansion

Row 4 is identical to Row 2. Ensure spacing and expansions remain consistent.
At the last stitch, finish with 2 dc.

---

3. Repeating Pattern

Rows 1–4 form the stitch repeat. Repeat these rows throughout the body panel until you achieve the desired length:

• Front Panel: Work approximately 40 rows for size S (modify for larger sizes).

---

4. Neckline Shaping (Front Panel)

Separating for Neckline

At the end of your desired body repeats (e.g., after 40 rows):

1. Place Markers:
   • Find the center by dividing fans evenly. Mark the middle fan and attachment points at both shoulders.
2. Start Row 41:
   • Work up to the marker and adjust how you work picots:
     • No picots in the neckline section.
     • Continue fans and triangles without picot detail.
3. Form Shoulders:
   • Narrow each shoulder by reducing fans gradually over Rows 42–47.
     Save
   • Leave space for the neckline (center area).

At the end of Row 47, the neckline and front panel are complete.

---

5. Back Panel

1. Work the Back Panel as the Front, but without a deep neckline.
2. Create a small back neckline by narrowing fans only over Rows 45–47.
3. Ensure the finished back panel matches the width and length of the front panel.

---

6. Sleeves

1. Foundation Chain: Crochet 71 chains for short sleeves (modify for wider sleeves as needed).
2. Work Rows 1–10 in the fan stitch pattern.
3. Finish with 3 rows of single crochet (sc).

---

7. Assembly

Sewing Panels

1. Shoulder Seams: Sew front and back shoulder edges together using matched stitches. Use a tapestry needle or slip stitches.
2. Attach Sleeves:
   • Position the sleeves centered at the armhole gap.
   • Sew from the center outwards, ensuring alignment.
     Save
3. Side Seams:
   • Fold the blouse, RS facing inward.
   • Sew the side seams from underarm to hem.

---

8. Neckline Finish

1. Work two rows of single crochet (sc) around the neckline.
2. Optionally use back loop only (blo) for a subtle ribbed effect.

---

Conclusion

Your blouse is now complete! This fan-stitch design offers a sophisticated yet casual look perfect for any occasion. It can be further customized by lengthening the sleeves or adding decorative edging to the hem.

Pattern Tips and Corrections

1. Customization:
   • Alter neckline depth by adjusting Rows 41–47.

2. Pattern Corrections:
   • Ensure your gauge aligns for proper width. Adjust hook size if needed.
   • Measure sections to verify symmetry before sewing.

   • Lightly block the blouse to smooth out any inconsistencies in stitches and improve drape.
