ENGLISH BELOW

Florecer es una chaqueta de crochet trabajada de arriba hacia abajo con construcción continuous y hombro europeo/japonés. El diseño comienza en la parte superior de la espalda y evoluciona gradualmente mediante aumentos, cambios de dirección y trabajo estructural hasta formar hombros, delanteros y cuerpo.

El motivo principal combina calado y diferentes alturas de puntos creando una textura ligera y dinámica inspirada en el movimiento de las ramas y las flores de primavera. Las mangas se trabajan en redondo desde la sisa y la prenda finaliza con un borde en punto margarita.

Nota sobre la elección de talla:
Cada talla varía aproximadamente 7 cm en el contorno de pecho.
La prenda se construye desde el cuello, por lo que su ancho influye en cómo se asienta en los hombros.

Te recomiendo valorar tanto el contorno de pecho como el ancho de cuello antes de decidir.

ENGLISH

Florecer is a top-down crochet jacket featuring a continuous European/Japanese shoulder construction. The design begins at the upper back and gradually develops through increases, directional changes, and structural shaping to form the shoulders, fronts, and body.

The main stitch pattern combines lace sections and different stitch heights, creating a light and dynamic texture inspired by the movement of branches and spring blossoms. Sleeves are worked in the round from the underarm and the garment is finished with a daisy stitch edging.

Sizing note:
Each size varies approximately 7 cm (2.75”) in bust circumference.
As the garment is constructed from the neckline, its width directly affects how it sits on the shoulders.
If you have broader shoulders or prefer a more relaxed fit, consider choosing a larger size.
I recommend taking both bust circumference and neckline width into account before deciding.
