Butterfly Shape: The layout of the pineapple and floral motifs creates a "butterfly" wing effect.
-

Level of Difficulty
Easy to Intermediate. The tutor describes the project as "very practical" and "easy to make." While it uses advanced patterns like the pineapple motif and treble crochets, the step-by-step nature makes it accessible for those familiar with basic crochet anatomy.
Tutor's Suggestions
-
Seal the Ends: Since polyamide yarn frays easily, always burn the tips with a lighter immediately after cutting.
-
Stitch Choice: Use double treble crochet (treble crochet in US terms) to make the work grow faster and maintain a soft drape.
-
Aesthetic Touch: Use a ribbon of a different color for the side ties to add a charming contrast.
-
Check Orientation: Ensure both pieces are facing the "right side" out before you begin the final assembly.
Short Conclusion
The Midas Blouse is a beautiful example of how simple shapes can transform into complex, high-fashion garments. By following these steps, you create a piece that is as functional as it is artistic, whether you wear it or use it to decorate your home.
Tip
If you want a more "glamorous" look, thread a few decorative stones or beads onto your yarn before you start the side ties. This adds a subtle weight and a touch of sparkle to the blouse's movement.
