1950s Fitted Crochet Blouse Pattern – No. 20 Cotton, Bust 36

This 1950s crochet pattern is for a fitted short-sleeved blouse worked in fine Mercer No. 20 crochet cotton.

The blouse has a tailored shape and button fastening, making it suitable for wearing with skirts or trousers as a lightweight summer top.

The pattern is designed for a 36-inch bust, with a finished length of approximately 20½ inches from shoulder to hem and a 5-inch sleeve seam.

You will need approximately 17 x 20 g balls of No. 20 crochet cotton, a No. 3 old UK (1.25 mm) steel crochet hook and nine buttons.

As modern crochet cotton can vary, check the pattern tension before beginning and choose your thread and hook accordingly.

Bust 36 inches – Length 20½ inches – Sleeve seam 5 inches.
