Step-by-Step Pattern
Step 1: Foundation Chain and Sizing
- Measure bust (e.g., 92 cm for size M).
- Make a foundation chain in multiples of 10 + 7 until it reaches the bust width. Example: 147 chains for 92 cm.
- If needed, adjust by adding or removing chains to maintain the multiple (e.g., 147, 157).
Step 2: Fancy Stitch Pattern (Repeat for Length)
Row 1:
- Skip first 3 chains. Work 1 dc in next chain, and 1 dc in each of next 3 chains (total 5 dc).
- Chain 5, skip 2 chains, sc in next chain.
- Chain 5, skip 2, 5 dc in next 5 chains, chain 5, skip 2, sc in next chain.
- Repeat the sequence to end. Finish with 5 dc.
Row 2:
- Turn, chain 3. Dc in next 4 sts (total 5 dc).
- In chain-5 space: chain 3, sc in third chain of the space.
- Repeat for each chain-5 space. After completing 3 chain spaces, repeat 5 dc group.
- Continue to end. Finish with 5 dc.
Row 3:
- Turn, chain 3. Dc in next 4 stitches (total 5 dc).
- Skip chain space, work 7 dc in next space.
- Continue pattern: 5 dc, skip space, 7 dc in next space; repeat to end.
Continue repeating Rows 1–3 for pattern.
Step 3: Body Length
- Work pattern repeat until the body reaches 35 cm from hem to underarm.
Step 4: Divide for Back & Fronts
- Measure back width (e.g., 48 cm).
- Deduct back width and 6 cm for armholes (3 cm per side) from total bust width.
- Split remaining stitches evenly for left and right front.
- Mark stitches for back and fronts.
Step 5: Back Section
- Continue pattern in straight rows over back stitches for 19 cm (armhole depth).
Step 6: Front Sections
- Work each front separately for 10 cm straight in pattern.
- Begin neckline shaping with decreases (see next step).
Step 7: Neckline Shaping (Each Front)
Decrease rows:
- Work decreases (dc2tog) at neckline edge, as directed in transcript.
- First decrease: Work 3 chains, dc2tog over next 2 stitches.
- Work remaining stitch groups as usual.
- Continue decreases as directed, until you have the same number of rows as back (16 rows).
- Mirror the process for the second front.
Step 8: Shoulder Seaming
- Align fronts and back so right sides face each other.
- Use tapestry needle and yarn to sew shoulder seams using chain stitches, alternating top and bottom layer (as per transcript).
Step 9: Sleeves
- Attach yarn at marked armhole.
- Work in pattern (groups of 5 dc, chain spaces, sc) in the round or back-and-forth, skipping 2–3 spaces as indicated (for looser sleeves, skip 2).
- Work for 18 rows, then start decreases for sleeve shaping:
- Change chain spaces from 5 to 3, then to 2 chains; change 7 dc groups to 5 dc as directed.
- Work a total of 45 rows (counting pattern rows and decreases).
- Work finishing row in bar stitch (front/back post double crochet alternating).
Step 10: Finishing Edges
- Work double crochet rows and bar stitch rows in front, bottom edge, and sleeve edges.
- Add extra dc in corners and sides as needed.
- Finish with bar stitch rounds for professional edge.
Step 11: Weaving in Ends
- Use tapestry needle to securely hide all yarn tails inside the fabric.
- Make finishing stitches to lock in the yarn.

Pro Tip
Use stitch markers for every major division and decrease. If your starting chain is too tight, use a larger hook for chains and then switch to your project hook for the body. This prevents puckering.
