Crochet V-neck blouse - triple crochet stitch
Step-by-step crochet instructions
Step 1
Make a foundation chain of 160 chains or multiples of 5 chs. Join the last and first chains with a slip stitch to continue crocheting in the round.
Step 2
1st round (right side) – ch4, (trc2 CW, ch2, dc1) into sm.ch., sk4, [(trc3 CW, ch2, dc1) into 1ch, sk4] to end plus sl.st.1 into 4th ch. after starting point. Turn the work to the wrong side and work sl.st.1 into the 1st opening between dc1 and trc3.
2nd round (wrong side) – ch4, (trc2 CCW, ch2, dc1) into sm.op., [(trc3 CCW, ch2, dc1) into 1op.] to end plus sl.st.1 into 4th ch. after starting point. Turn the work to the right side and work sl.st.1 into the 1st opening between dc1 and trc3.
3rd round (right side) – ch4, (trc2 CW, ch2, dc1) into sm.op., [(trc3 CW, ch2, dc1) into 1op.] to end plus sl.st.1 into 4th ch. after starting point. Turn the work to the wrong side and work sl.st.1 into the 1st opening between dc1 and trc3.
Repeat the pattern starting from the 2nd round.
After you crochet about 10 rounds of the pattern, use a larger size crochet hook to make the garment wider.
Step 3
Crochet from the middle (foundation chain) of the blouse up
Attach the yarn and crochet 1st round (step2) regular way using loops of initial foundation chain. Then alternate 2nd and 3rd rounds until you crochet about 7 rounds in total.
Step 4
Back part
(work 14 repeats / [])
1st row (wrong side) – ch3, [(trc3 CCW, ch2, dc1) into 1op.] to end, sk2, dc1 plus RC3
2nd row (right side) – [(trc3 CW, ch2, dc1) into 1op.] to end, sk2, dc1 plus RC3
3rd row (wrong side) – [(trc3 CCW, ch2, dc1) into 1op.] to end, sk2, dc1 plus RC3
Alternate 2nd and 3rd rows until you crochet 12 rows in total or as many as necessary.
Step 5
Right front part
Skip 2 repeats/[] from the back part and work 7 repeats.
1st row = 1st row
2nd row = 2nd row
Decrease chains
3rd row (wrong side) – Vst. into op., [(trc3 CCW, ch2, dc1) into 1op.] to end, sk2, dc1 + RC3
4th row (right side) – [(trc 3 CW, ch2, dc1) into 1op.] to end, dc1 into Vst. + RC3
5, 7 rows = 3rd row
6, 8 rows = 4th row
Work rows without decreasing chains
9, 11 rows – [(trc3 CCW, ch2, dc1) into 1op.] to end, sk2, dc1 + RC3
10, 12 rows = 2nd row
Step 6
Left front part
(work like a mirror reflection to the right front part)
Skip 2 repeats from the back part
1st row = 1st row
Decrease
2nd row (right side) – Vst. into op., [(trc3 CW, ch2, dc1) into 1op.] to end, sk2, dc1 + RC3
3rd row (wrong side) – [(trc 3 CCW, ch2, dc1) into 1op.] to end, dc1 into Vst. + RC3
4, 6 rows = 2nd row
5, 7 rows = 3rd row
Continue crocheting rows without decreasing chains
8, 10, 12 rows = 2nd row (step 4 – back part)
9, 11 rows = 3rd row (step 4 – back part)
Step 7
Finish up
Join the front and back shoulder pieces matching closely repeats on both sides. For that, you may work sl.st. on the wrong side of the garment or sew them together.
Edges – sc to end.

Hi Sana, I'm crocheting my

Hi Sana, I'm crocheting my 2nd one of this pattern, And I did the cut from the bust, I know you did 7 rows before you did the back and shoulder part. I need an advise is it ok to do more rows than 7 and on the armholes can I skip 4 each side because the first one I did it's too big on my arm. Thanks.

Hi Luz,

Hi Luz,
Yes, you may work as many rows as necessary from the underbust to your armhole point as well as you can skip as many repeats as desired underarms. Happy crocheting!
