Hi Jansi rani,
Hi Jansi rani,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. This is very impressive especially with the fact that it's your first crochet top. Congratulations! (It looks like you did not crochet edges around armholes, but maybe you wanted that way). Thank you for sharing again. I appreciate it. Happy crochet!

Hi Mrs. Sana,
Hi Mrs. Sana,
Here is my finished pink camellia blouse. I used Alize yarn DIVA, silk effect, Microfiber Acrylic. I work with crochet hook 3 mm, the body with 2 and 2,5 mm crochet hook. I begin with 155 chains. The last row I make instead of single crochet hdc. The same in armholes and neckline. I think, that I make the blouse like yours. I also make the blouse a little bit longer. Thank you for very helpful instructions.
I am waiting for new projects.
Best regards,
Ivica S.
