2nd row (wrong side) – h8ch, trc1, ch1, sk1, dc1, ch1, sk1, hdc1, ch1, sk1, sc7, ch1, sk1, hdc1, ch1, sk1, dc1, (ch1, sk1, trc1) x 2, [ch1, sk1, trc1, ch1, sk1, dc1, ch1, sk1, hdc1, ch1, sk1, sc7, ch1, sk1, hdc1, ch1, sk1, dc1, (ch1, sk1, trc1) x 2] to end + RC3

Repeat the pattern starting from the 1st row until you crochet 12 rows. Then continue crocheting the 4 rows of the pattern using a smaller size crochet hook for the following 16 rows. After that, work the next 12 rows using a larger size crochet hook again to widen the garment.

Hi Sana, I have a question on

Hi Sana, I have a question on the Increase part, on the pattern 41st thru 45th rows then repeat the pattern starting 42nd row. Do I have to repeat 2 rounds before I reach the 45th row which will become the 53rd row for the shoulder part. Pls. advise if I understand it correctly. Thanks.

Repeat from the 42nd row means that you need to work 46, 47, 48, 49 rows as 42, 43, 44, 45 rows respectively. Happy crochet!

Hi Sana, I'm finishing my blouse . I have to sew the sides. It look like it came out too small than I'm expected. I will send a picture when I'm done. I think the yarn that I used is not stretchy.
