This is one of my favorite blouse types, long sleeves with a boat neckline – chic and flattering for anybody’s figure. Also, you have more than one way to wear this top. The crochet pattern is designed mainly with simple stitches and is embellished with cable lines.

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so just choose your best technique 🙂
