Crochet your own elegant blouse with thoughtful details, highlighted by a striking mosaic crochet band. The pattern includes several shaping features for a comfortable, tailored fit.

Languages available: English

Skill level: Intermediate

Available options in the pattern:

• Adjusting the length of the blouse
• Decrease to achieve a tighter mosaic band or keep it straight
• Tassels
• Peplum top/dress
• Short sleeves
• Reducing the width of the sleeves

(The yarn amounts listed apply to the original blouse instructions. Some options may require more or less yarn than stated.)

To make the Winter Blossom Blouse, you will need:
Drops Puna - see yarn amounts and substitutions below
Crochet hook - use the size needed to match the gauge
Stitch markers
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Measuring tape
Elastic - if making peplum top/dress

Sizes:
1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7)
77.5 (87.5, 97.5, 107.5) (122.5, 132.5, 147.5) cm

To choose size: Measure the circumference of your bust at its widest point, then add the desired ease.

• Choose a size with 0-10 cm positive ease for a tighter fit.
• Choose a size with 10-20 cm positive ease for a looser -oversized fit.

Amount of yarn needed:
Main color:
400 (450, 500, 550) (650, 700, 750) grams
880 (990, 1100, 1320) (1430, 1540, 1760) meters
of Drops Puna

Contrast color:
100 grams / 220 meters of Drops Puna (all sizes)

Yarn Substitutions:
Drops Puna is labeled as DK, but in practice, it behaves more like a light DK or heavy sport weight. If substituting yarn, both DK and sport weight yarn can work. Use the hook size needed to match the gauge.
(Keep in mind that changing the yarn may affect how much yarn you need.)
