Fran’s V-Neck Blouse

As you may have noticed, I am crazy over cute tops. There are so many different ways to make and wear them. I wear stretchy jeans a lot and I think they’re great, but put me in a pretty top and that sets my mood for the whole day. This one is a little special to me. It’s the top I was working on when my mom passed away. I was deep in grief for a long while after and so, it sat, unfinished. But mom would have hated to see such a pretty pattern go to waste, so I picked it up again and finished it off. It would have suited her, so I named it after her. I think she would have loved that. <3

Any yarn of similar weight would work.

Note: I wrote this pattern using Loops & Threads Cambria, Which is a #2 yarn, but a few of my testers crocheted their tops with Lion Brand Mandala and they turned out beautiful! If you like the colour changing look, I’d highly recommend giving it a shot. Just make sure you use a hook that matches the gauge in the pattern.

This pattern has been tested by a number of experienced crocheters and I have provided many pictures within the pattern to help you along the way. If you run into trouble you are free to message me for help.
