This gorgeous sleeveless evening blouse starts at the bottom edge with separate triangles which are joined later. A simple lace pattern transforms the triangles into diamond shapes. To create a pleasant tailored look, the waist area is worked in a simple yet beautiful cable pattern. An easy eyelet in the shape of triangles finishes the blouse in the bust and shoulder area. The blouse has a large round neckline decorated with a simple crocheted shell pattern that matches the eyelet pattern. This allows the neckline to stay flat and adds to the elegance of the design. To keep the pattern flow intact, this blouse is worked in round to the armhole opening. Then front and back are worked separately in rows. To finish the blouse, tassels are added to the bottom edge of each diamond, creating a sophisticated look.
