Materials:

• Medium-weight yarn
• 4.5mm crochet hook
• Measurement tape

Pattern Overview:

• The pattern features a repetition of two rows after the initial setup.
• The pattern is worked in multiples of six plus an additional five chains for the turning chain.
• It includes a "V" like lace pattern that requires skipping stitches and chaining.

Instructions:

To Start:

Make a slip knot and chain in multiples of 6 until you reach your desired bust width, then add 5 more chains for the turning chain. For example, chain 72 + 5 = 77 chains.

Row 1:

1. Skip 4 chains from the hook and double crochet into the fifth.
2. Chain 3, skip 5 chains, and in the 6th chain, double crochet, chain 3, and double crochet into the same chain.
3. Repeat the steps of chaining 3, skipping 5, and creating the V-stitch (double crochet, chain 3, double crochet) in the same chain until the end of the row.
4. To finish the row, after your last set, chain 3 and double crochet, chain 1, double crochet into the last chain.

For Row 2:

Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet), turn your work.

1. In the first chain-1 space, make 3 double crochets.
2. In each chain-3 space across, crochet 3 double crochets, chain 3, and 3 double crochets.
3. Continue until the end. In the final chain-1 space, make 4 double crochets.

Row 3:

1. Chain 4 (counts as a double crochet and chain 1), turn.
2. In every chain-3 space across, you will double crochet, chain 3, and double crochet.
3. To finish the row, after your last V-stitch, chain 3 and double crochet, chain 1, double crochet in the space between the last two double crochets of the previous row.

Repeat:

• Alternate between Row 2 and Row 3 until you reach your desired length.

Assembly:

Once you have two panels completed, lay them on top of each other with the right sides facing each other.

1. Sew or crochet the sides together from the bottom up to the armpit, then from the shoulders down to the desired armhole size.
2. For the neckline and armholes, adjust the finish according to the desired style (e.g., off-shoulder, square neck).

Sleeves:

• Attach the yarn at the armpit area, chain 4, and proceed to create a similar V-stitch pattern around the armhole.
• Continue in rounds, following the established pattern until you reach your desired sleeve length.
