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

How can I do the front part?
How can I do the front part? I'm confused with the video , how many repeats do I have to skip at the back? Pls advise . Thanks.

Hi Luz,
Hi Luz,
Initially, I suggested you to work 12 repeats of the 1st pattern (shells), 10 repeats for the back part (jasmine st), and 2 repeats under each arm (jasmine st). Then you asked me about 12 repeats for the back part instead of 10 or at least that's how I understood it. So, please write me again what is your gauge, chest circumference, and the number of repeats for the 1st pattern (or foundation chain).
Luz Baculanta replied on Permalink
I did 193 foundation chains ,
I did 193 foundation chains , and my gauge for 3 repeats was 5.5 inches . And my bust size is 46 inches and I'm wearing an Xl. And I have a 12 repeats. Pls. Advise, I'm on the front part now. Thanks.

Hi Luz,
Hi Luz,
If 3 repeats = 5.5", then for 46" chest circumference (46 x 3) : 5.5 = 25 repeats. So, you should work about 26 repeats because the number of repeats should be even or dividable by 2.
If you worked 12 repeats for the back part and you are going to crochet 12 repeats for the front part, then I would suggest to work just one repeat under each arm or 9 chs to have 26 repeats in total (12 + 12 + 1 + 1).
To work the front part, I would advise you to fold the top part (shell pattern) in half. That way you will see how many chs to skip to crochet the front part totally the same as the back one.
I would skip from 5th to 9th dc clusters from the back part and on the following shell skip from 1st to 5th dc clusters. Then attach the yarn into a ch before the 6th dc cluster and work sc1 above the 6th dc cluster and so on, continue the pattern regular way. Happy crochet!

Hi Sana, what do you mean by
Hi Sana, what do you mean by this "I would skip from 5th to 9th dc clusters from the back part and on the following shell skip from 1st to 5th dc clusters. " Pls. advise.
Sana replied on Permalink
Each shell/repeat has 9 dc
Each shell/repeat has 9 dc clusters (4th round). Look at the end of your 1st row of the back part. You worked your last sc1 above 4th dc CL. Then from there skip all the following dc CLs of the same shell and the 1st through 5th dc CLs of the following shell.

I'm so sorry Sana , still I'm
I'm so sorry Sana , still I'm having trouble doing the front part, I can't figure it out how to make the front the same as the back, the part of skipping where I attach the yarn, I folded it to know how many dc clusters I have to skip, I maybe did wrong on the backpart. Pls. help. I attached the picture.

Hi Luz,
Hi Luz,
I see that you work 9 repeats of jasmine st instead of 10. You did not end the 1st row as I suggested to do it. I see that after last trc dec, you chained 3 and worked sc1 skipping all the rest.
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 + RC3 (to work 10 repeats of jasmine st).
If you will work 10 repeats for the back part, you may skip one repeat as I did in the video and work sc1 above the 6th dc CL. Happy crochet!

Thank you Sana, I will start
Thank you Sana, I will start over the Backpart and follow what you said. I hope I'll get it.
