Leave the world behind in a garden full of magic and soft colors with this unique and feminine blouse.

The pattern is available as a Hobbii Plus Design HERE.

The lacy stitch pattern and the unusual seaming makes the Blooming Thistle Top a perfect addition to your handmade wardrobe.

The pattern is great for skilled crocheters and adventurous beginners who want to try something different.
It works up fast and works well with the suggested yarn in any color, but it can be made with color gradient yarn too. The possibilities are endless!
