Fitted yet flouncy, this Tunisian crochet blouse is the ultimate summer statement piece. With a flattering silhouette that hugs the waist and dramatic puffed sleeves that add a playful touch, this design balances structure and flow effortlessly. The airy linen fabric makes it perfect for warm days, keeping you cool while looking chic.

Hooks:
L/11 (8 mm) Tunisian hook (or size needed to match gauge), with cable at least 1/3 length of finished project width.
P/15 (10 mm) Tunisian hook (or 2 mm larger than smaller Tunisian hook), with cable at least 1/3 length of finished project width.
G/6 (4 mm) regular (non-Tunisian) crochet hook (or 4 mm smaller than smaller Tunisian hook).

The Ruffle Edge top is constructed from two panels, each worked from bottom up. The panels are then seamed at the shoulders and sides to form the body. Puff sleeves are crocheted flat and seamed into the armholes for a tailored fit. To add texture and shape, an I-cord is woven into sleeve cuffs, creating charming ruffles that enhance the overall silhouette.
