Blouse with a beautiful yoke

In the image — an openwork crochet pattern, presumably for a skirt, yoke, or round yoke insert. It is constructed based on the principle of expanding from the center upwards and sideways.

Symbols:

• • — chain stitch (ch)

• | — single crochet (sc)

• DC or † — double crochet (dc)

• V (double DC in one stitch) — 2 dc in one stitch

• "fan" — 3–7 dc in one stitch/arch

• + — slip stitch (sl st)

Construction:

1. The central part — a vertical motif of “trees” (fans of dc), divided by vertical single crochets.

2. On the edges — gradual expansion using additional chain stitches and increasing the number of dc in the fans.

3. Each row visually expands the fabric, creating a trapezoidal or half-sun shape.

4. The upper part can be the beginning of the yoke or the end of the fabric.

Possible applications:

• Yoke of a dress (crocheted from top to bottom)

• Flared part of a skirt

• Bottom part of a round tablecloth, mandala, or dress

• Vintage style element
