You can see lots of of Catalina’s crochet patterns her blog, ByKaterina. And be sure to check her out on social media too: Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook. Catalina, take it away!

    The Inspiration for My Raglan Crochet Pattern

    Hi there! I’m Catalina behind ByKaterina and I’m so happy to share with you “My Lucky” Blouse. The name chosen for this project was something that came into my mind instantly after the girls from Make & Do Crew announced me that I will be a guest blogger. I didn’t know on spot what I will make, but I was sure that I will find something that will make me feel lucky.

    In my journey as a crochet designer, the main focus is to demonstrate that crochet items can be fashionable and modern and even more then that, everyone can make something outstanding without being an experienced crocheter. That’s why in my designs I mostly use simple stitches and shapes and “My Lucky” Blouse is one of them.

    This on-trend crochet raglan blouse works up easily with seamless construction and basic double crochet stitches. Lightweight summer crochet shirt tutorial, stitch chart and free raglan pattern!

    A Bohemian Crochet Top With Top Down Construction

    My Lucky blouse is worked using the raglan technique and I know that this might sounds scary, I can tell you that this technique is the easiest way to make a garment and it’s also addictive. Once you get it you will make everything using this technique so give it a try.

    The pattern skill level is easy. All you will need to know is to work in rounds and to how to make double crochet stitches. “My Lucky” Blouse is worked top down, so it’s seamless, almost worked in one single piece.

    A Breathable Yarn Perfect for Summer Crochet Projects

    My Lucky Blouse is a garment for spring or summer, so it has to be lightweight and breathable. Lion Brand Cotton Bamboo was the perfect yarn for that. One of my favorite fibers to crochet with is cotton, but this mix between cotton and bamboo is so amazing.

    The crochet garments made with this yarn are smooth with a nice drape and as a plus the yarn is washable, which is perfect for spring and summer garments that need to be washed more often. With the subtle shine of bamboo everything you will want to make with this yarn will be more attractive so go for it! See all the colors of Lion Brand’s Cotton Bamboo yarn here.

    Rows 4 – 12 ( 13, 14, 15, 16): repeat round 3.

    At the end of these rounds the first geometrical element is done and if you want to keep “My Lucky” Blouse with only the V neck you can continue from now working only in double crochet.

    Round 13 (14, 15, 16, 18): 1 dc in the first st, 1 dc in each st to the first corner, 1 inc in corner, 1 dc in each st to the next corner, 1 inc in corner, 1 dc in next (previous round no. of sts + 2), ch 2, skip 2, 1 dc in next (previous round no. of sts + 2), 1 inc in corner, 1 dc in each st to the last corner, 1 inc in corner, 1 dc in each st to the end of the round.

Sl st with 1st dc. Ch 2 and turn.

    *Note: we have the same number of sts before and after the chains because we increase in corner. So, we have 1 dc less from the chains but, 1 have 1 more from the corner increase.

    Body

    Round 1: 1 dc in first st, 1 dc until you get to the first corner, 1 pdc (partial double crochet, an unfinished double crochet. Keep 2 loops on your hook), skip the sts for sleeve to the next corner, 1 pdc in the next corner. Yarn over and pull the yarn through all the loops on your hook.

    Now, continue with the geometrical element, until you get to the next corner. Proceed the same, joining the front and back side and let the sleeve apart. After the second join, continue with 1 dc in each st to the end of the round.

    From now on we will continue working in rounds without increasing in corners until you have the desired length.

    You will have to continue with the geometrical motif on the front side. You will stop increasing the chain sts when you will have the same number of chain sts as when you started “My Lucky” Blouse.

    Small: 11 ch sts

    Medium: 12 ch sts

    Large: 13 ch sts

    1 X Large: 14 ch sts

    2X Large 15 ch sts.

    After getting to the same number, you will have to start decrease the number of chain sts with one, on each side of the 2 middle dc’s.

    Continue working the body to the desired length.

    Sleeves

    For all sizes:

    Round 1: Join the yarn at the arm pit, in the right side corner. Ch 2, 2 pdc in the same st, 1 pdc in the next st ( second corner) , yarn over and pull the yarn through all loops on your hook.

    Continue with 1 dc in each st to the end of the round. Sl st with the first st ( the 2 dc cluster). Ch 2 and turn

    Round 2: 1 dc in first st, 1 dc in each st around. Sl st with 1st dc. Ch 2 and turn.

    Repeat round 2 until you get to the desired length of the sleeve or until you have:

    Small: 15 rounds

    Medium: 15 rounds

    Large: 17 rounds

    1X large : 17 rounds

    2 X Large 18 rounds.

    If you like “My Lucky” Blouse with short sleeves, you can let the sleeves like they are after finishing the yoke.

    And this is it. If you want you can add a border in single crochet or other stitch pattern on the bottom, sleeves and neck line.
