Repeat the pattern starting from the 3rd row, increasing a number of repeats/chains until your front and back parts will be wide enough to your chest circumference accordingly.
18th row crochet like 3rd row, working more repeats in each part.
Step 7
Join front and back parts together
19th row – h2ch, sc2, ch1, sk1, (sc5, ch3, Vst1 into inc, ch3, sk1 dc) x 2, sc5, ch2, Vst1 under ch, ch5, sk shoulder part, Vst1 under ch, ch2, (sk1 dc, sc5, ch3, Vst1 into inc, ch3) x 5, sk1 dc, sc5, ch2, Vst1 under ch, sk shoulder part, Vst1 under ch, ch2, (sk1 dc, sc5, ch3, Vst1 into inc, ch3) x 2, sk1 dc, sc5, ch1, sk1, sc2 + RC1

Step 8
21st row = 6th row
22nd row = 12th row
23rd row = 13th row
24th row = 14th row
25th row = 15th row
Repeat the pattern starting from the 21st row until you crochet to about waist line, then continue crocheting the 5 above rows using a larger size crochet hook to widen the garment.
Step 9
Sleeves
Attach the yarn underarm above 2nd sc ch.
1st round – ch5, dc1 into sm.ch, ch3, sk1 dc, sc5, ch3, [Vst into inc, ch3, sk1 dc, sc5, ch3] to end + sl.st.1 into 3rd ch
2nd round – ch3, dc6 into Vst, ch3, sk1 sc, sc3, ch3, [dc7 into Vst, ch3, sk1 sc, sc3, ch3] to end + sl.st.1 into 3rd ch
3rd round – ch1, sc5, ch3, inc into 2nd sc ch, ch3, [sk1 dc, sc5, ch3, inc into 2nd sc ch, ch3] to end + sl.st.1 into 2nd ch
4th round – ch1, sc3, ch3, Vst into inc, ch3, [sk1 sc, sc3, ch3, Vst into inc, ch3] to end + sl.st.1 into 2nd ch
5th round – sl.st.1, ch3, dc1 into sm.ch, ch3, dc7 into Vst, ch3, [inc1 into 2nd sc ch, ch3, dc7 into Vst, ch3] to end + sl.st.1 into 3rd ch
Repeat the pattern starting from the 1st round. After you crochet about 15 rounds, continue crocheting the 5 rounds using a smaller size crochet hook until you crochet the desire length of each sleeve.
Step 10
Borders
Work reverse single crochet to end.
Step 11
Tie – ch40, h2ch, sl.sts to end

Hi Sana, I started with a
Hi Sana, I started with a bigger hook 4.0 mm, with 124 chains, I followed the chart that you gave me then when I fit myself the armhole with 5 chains it look like it will be smaller for her because she had a big arms so I chain 7 , then I kept going but her bust size is 38 c, pls check the picture . I measure the front one is my gauge ok for 4.5mm or should I go up to 5.5 mm. And pls. Advise on the armhole chains. Thanks.

From the picture, I see that
From the picture, I see that your gauge is ok, it should fit the size US18 or 44 inches chest circumference. You can work 7 chs underarms, but the number of repeats will still remain the same. It is only you can decide whether to use a larger size crochet hook or not because you know the person better. If I was in doubt, I would use a larger size crochet hook. As I wrote you before, usually it is better to make something a little bit bigger than smaller. The other option is to work one extra row before joining front and back parts together. If you choose to do so, you'll need to do some adjustments to the pattern when you will crochet sleeves in the round.

I think I just use a larger hook, you are right it is better a bigger than smaller.If I do the other option to add extra row before joining the front and back parts, I think I will stress out more lol. Thanks for your advise.I really appreciate it.
