Preparation and Measurements
- Yarn: 100 percent fine cotton yarn
- Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Measure your round bust and divide it by four to determine the width of each front panel
Front Panel Make 2
- Create a foundation chain that is one inch shorter than your quarter bust measurement and ensure the chain count is even
- Row 1: Work one single crochet into every chain across
- Row 2 Pattern Row: Chain three to count as the first double crochet
- Work two double crochets into the next chain as an increase
- Skip one chain and work two double crochets into the following chain
- Repeat the skip one chain and two double crochet sequence across the row
- End the row with one double crochet in the final chain without increasing
- Rows 3 to 8: Repeat the pattern row until the piece reaches the desired height before shaping the neckline
Shaping the V Neck and Armhole
- Turn the work and chain three at the beginning of the row
- Make an invisible decrease in the next chain and continue the regular pattern stitch
- Repeat the neckline decrease at the start of each row until a visible V shape forms
- For the armhole side, begin the row with a chain three and one decrease
- On the opposite edge, stop five chains before the end
- Skip one chain, make a decrease in the next chain, and skip the final two chains
- Once the shoulder width is achieved, stop decreasing and work straight until the shoulder length is complete
Back Panel
- Create a foundation chain measuring two inches less than half of your round bust measurement
- Work the same stitch pattern and number of rows as the front panel before armhole shaping
- Shape both armholes using the same decrease method as the front panels
- For the back neckline, use half double crochets and single crochets in the center stitches over the final two rows to form a gentle curve
Finishing
- Crochet the sleeves using the same stitch pattern and finish them with a scalloped edge
- Join the front and back panels at the shoulders and sides
- Attach the sleeves securely and weave in all loose ends
