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

Hi Sana
Hi Sana
Thank you for sharing another beautiful top. As usual I need your help. Three repeats= 3.5 ins, chest: 36 ins, how many chains do I need. I've just finished two of your beautiful tops and will post pictures tomorrow. Happy crochet!

Hi Salma,
Hi Salma,
I would suggest you to make a foundation chain of 225 chs to work 14 repeats. Crochet the 1st row of the back part a little bit differently:
1st row – (ch1, sk1, sl.st.1) x 5, ch1, sk1, 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 5 + RC3
Under each arm chain 29 to work 3 repeats. Happy crochet!

Hi Salma,
Hi Salma,
While calculating chs for another crocheter, I've noticed that the ending of the 1st row should be different.
1st row – (ch1, sk1, sl.st.1) x 5, ch1, sk1, 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 4, 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 + RC3 to work 12 repeats of the jasmine st. Happy crochet!

Hi Sana
Hi Sana
Thanks for the notification. Can you please confirm under each arm chain of 29 for 3 repeats remain the same. Happy crochet!
Sana replied on Permalink
Yes, I've estimated that you
Yes, I've estimated that you need 30 repeats for your size - 12 repeats for each back and front part and 3 repeats under each arm.

Hi Sana, It's me again. Can
Hi Sana, It's me again. Can you please tell me what is the measurement starting from row 1(back part) till the joining part. Thanks. Happy crochet!
Sana replied on Permalink
Hi Salma,
Hi Salma,
You've written me in your previous post that your gauge is 3 repeats = 3.5" (jasmine st). Your 1st row should be slightly narrower, and your gauge starting from the 3rd row (jasmine st) should be about 12 repeats = 14". I do not know your row height. You may work as many rows as necessary before joining the back and front parts together. Happy crochet!
