BACK = FRONT
You will need:
Cotton Yarn 350 g / 875 m / 959 yds (Weight #2)
Ball (50g) contains 125 m/ 137 yds
Hook size 3,5 mm, US size E-4

Length = 48 cm / 19 in
Terminology:
st – stitch
sts – stitches
sl.st – slip stitch
CH – chain stitch
SC – single crochet
DC – double crochet (yarn over the hook once)
Instructions:
First, I’m going to make part one (FRONT)
I’m going to make 99 chains (48 cm / 19 in) for size M.
If you need a different size, feel free to either add or subtract from this chain number. The number of chains must be odd.
You can easily customize a blouse to your size.
Different sizes:
XS = 83 chains
S = 89 chains
M = 99 chains
L = 109 chains
XL = 119 chains
XXL = 129 chains
Row 1: Skip 3 chains and make one double crochet stitch (DC) in the 4th chain, make DC one in each chain across.
Row 2: CH 3 and turn your work; make DC 2 in the second stitch, *skip st, DC 2 in the next st *repeat the entire row; DC one in the last st.
Row 3: CH 3 and turn your work, make DC one between the next two DC sts, CH one, DC one between the next two DC sts *CH one, DC one between the next two DC sts *repeat the entire row except for the last stitch; DC one in the last st.
Row 4: CH 3 and turn your work; make DC 2 in the second stitch, *DC 2 in every DC *repeat the entire row; DC one in the last st.
Rows 3 – 4 = Pattern
Repeat Pattern
I made 46 rows (48 cm / 19 in).
If you want, you can make more rows to make the blouse longer.
