Part 2 video tutorial
Front part
Skip one repeat/arch from the back part and attach the yarn between 3rd and 4th dc clusters.
1st row (right side) – sc1, ch3, sk3, [sc1, ch3, sc1 under ch between 7th and 8th dc CL, ch3, trc dec1, ch3, sc1 under ch between 2nd and 3rd dc CL, ch3, sk2, sc1, ch3, sk3, sc1] x 3 + RC3
2nd row (wrong side) – h4ch, dc1, [ch1, sk3, Vst1] to last 4chs; ch1, sk3, dc2 into 1ch + RC1
3rd row = 5th row (back part)
4th row = 6th row (back part)
5th row = 3rd row (back part)
Join the back and front parts together
Slip a last loop of the 5th row (front part) on the crochet hook. You should have 2 loops on your hook.
6th row (wrong side) - sc1 into ch above trc ch of prev.row, sc1 under ch, ch2, trc dec1*, ch2, [sc1 under ch, ch1, sk1, sc1 under ch, ch2, trc dec1*, ch2] to last 3chs; sk1, sc2 + ch19 (for the size XS – ch9 and for the size L – ch29)
Join front and back parts into a ring with the slip stich into the 1st sc ch. Turn the work to the right side of the garment.
Body
1st round – ch1, (ch1, sk4, shell1, sk4, sc1) x 2, [ch1, sk3, shell1, sk3, sc1] x 8 or to underarm, (ch1, sk4, shell1, sk4, sc1) x 2, [ch1, sk3, shell1, sk3, sc1] x 7, ch1, sk3, shell1, sk3 + sl.st.1 into 1st ch
2nd round – ch3, trc1 under ch between 1st and 2nd trc sts, ch2, sc1 under ch, ch1, sk1, sc1 under ch, ch2, [trc dec1*, ch2, sc1 under ch, ch1, sk1, sc1 under ch, ch2] to end; work unfinished trc under ch + sl.st.1 into 4th ch
3rd round – ch5, (trc1, ch1) x 2 into sm.ch, sk3, sc1, [ch1, sk3, shell1, sk3, sc1] to last 4chs; ch1, sk3, (trc1, ch1) x 2 into 1ch + sl.st.1 into 4th ch
4th round – ch2, sc1 under ch, ch2, trc dec1*, ch2, [sc1 under ch, ch1, sk1, sc1 under ch, ch2, trc dec1*, ch2] to end; sc1 under ch + sl.st.1 under 2chs
5th round – ch1, [ch1, sk3, shell1, sk3, sc1] to last repeat; ch1, sk3, shell1, sk3 + sl.st.1 into 1st ch
Repeat the pattern starting from the 2nd round until you crochet to about your waistline, and then use a larger size crochet hook (G) to widen the garment from the bottom.
Neckline
Attach the yarn to the initial foundation chain and work 4 chains to pick up the height of the 1st round.
1st round – ch4, dc1 into sm.ch, ch3, sk2, sc1, dc7 under arch of 3chs, sk2, sc1, ch3, sk2, [Vst1, ch3, sk2, sc1, dc7 under arch of 3chs, sk2, sc1, ch3, sk2] to end + sl.st.1 into 3rd ch
Use a smaller size crochet hook (E)
2nd round – ch2, sc1 under ch, (ch1, dc1) x 7 above dc7 of prev.round, ch1, [(sc1, ch2, sc1) into Vst under ch, (ch1, dc1) x 7 above dc7 of prev.round, ch1] to end + sl.st.1 into chs
3rd round – ch2, sk2, (dc CL1, ch1) x 7, [sc1 under arch of 2chs, ch1, sk2, (dc CL1, ch1) x 7] to end + sl.st.1 into 1st ch
Sleeves
Attach the yarn underarm
1st round – ch4, [sk interval*, sc1, ch3] to 4th round; sc1 under ch between 7th and 8th dc CL, ch3, trc dec1, ch3, sc1 under ch between 2nd and 3rd dc CL, ch3, sk2, sc1, ch3, sk3, sc1, ch3, sc1 under ch between 7th and 8th dc CL, ch3, trc dec1, ch3, sc1 under ch between 2nd and 3rd dc CL, ch3, [sk interval*, sc1, ch3] to end + sl.st.1 into 1st ch
At the end of the 1st round, you should have 18 arches of 3 chs or multiples of 2 arches.
2nd round – ch4, dc1, [ch1, sk3, Vst1] to last 3chs; ch1, sk3 + sl.st.1 into 3rd ch
3rd round – sc1, ch1, sk3, shell1, [sk3, sc1, ch1, sk3, shell1] to end + sl.st.1 above 1st sc ch
4th round = 2nd round (body)
5th round = 3rd round (body)
Decrease
6th round – ch2, sc1 under ch, ch1, trc dec1*, ch1, [sc1 under ch, ch1, sk1, sc1 under ch, ch1, trc dec1*, ch1] to end; sc1 under ch + sl.st.1 under 2chs

Hello, I would like to know
Hello, I would like to know how much measures the neckline please thanks

The measure of the beginning chain? Thanks

Hi FILOUTTE,
Hi FILOUTTE,
How long the neckline should be depends on your gauge and size. I would advise you to make a small sample first (jasmine st) to learn your tension or adjust it to mine. The foundation chain for the neckline should be wide (while estimating, keep in mine the pattern requirements), but not fall off your shoulders. Happy crochet!

Thanks and How much have to I add of stitch under arms for the same size as you? And how much after rows ? Thanks

Hi FILOUTTE,
Hi FILOUTTE,
It is necessary to add multiples of 10 chs + 9 chs under each arm. Happy crochet!

Hi Sana, as usual, I'm using
Hi Sana, as usual, I'm using the much smaller thread with the 1.75mm hook. (It's a pity that they don't sell the yarns whose size is similar to yours). I double the number of chains to 321 chains, and stuck at 1st round of the back part because I don't know how many repeat I need to do to make an L-size blouse. And do I have to adjust anything else?
Can't wait to hear from you.
Thanks in advance and happy crocheting :)

Dear Sana,
Dear Sana,
I've made a mistake relating to the foundation chains. I decrease the number of chains from 321 to 193 and I have 12 repeats
Diane C. replied on Permalink
Sorry Sana, the foundation
Sorry Sana, the foundation chains are 225 or 14 repeats :(

Hi Diane C.,
Hi Diane C.,
It will be necessary to adjust the Back and Front parts. Repeat what is in brackets/[ ] about 4 or 5 times depending on your gauge. Then work more rows before joining back and front parts and chain in between multiples of 10 plus 9. Happy crochet!
