THIS CRISP, cool-looking blouse in simple crochet will prove a valuable acquisition to the summer wardrobe.

THE long revers and V-neckline make it flattering to wear any time of the day and into the evening, too. It will team with different skirts for town or country wear, and will stand countless washings.

Materials: 12 balls Coats Chain Mercer-Crochet, No. 20 (selected color); 7 buttons; No. 2 Milwards steel crochet hook (slack workers could use a No. 2½ hook and tight workers a No. 1½).

Tension: 5 rows, 1 in.

Measurements: Bust, 34 in.; length from shoulder to bottom edge, 21 in.

Directions are given for sizes 34 or 35 in. bust.
By using a No. 1 hook and working at a looser tension this blouse will fit a 36-38 in. bust.
