Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Measure and Chain

Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Chain a length that matches this measurement (e.g., 92 cm for M size = about 209 chains).
Join the chain into a ring with a slip stitch, being careful not to twist it.

2. Start Chevron Stitch

Chain 3 (acts as first double crochet).
Make 2 more double crochets in the same chain.
Chevron Increase: In the next stitch, do 3 double crochets (all in the same stitch).
Chevron Decrease: Over the next 3 stitches, do 1 double crochet in each—but wait to pull through the last loop of each; after all three, pull through all loops together.
After each decrease, chain 3, then make next increases.
Repeat the sequence: 3 double crochets (interval), chevron decrease, 3 double crochets (interval), chevron increase (twice), around the entire ring.
Close the round with a slip stitch in the 3rd chain of your starting chain.

3. Continue the Body

Work 2 rows with one color, then switch to 2 rows with the other.
Always keep the chevron sequence: increase and decrease groups balanced.
Continue working in the round until the blouse measures about 35 cm from the start.

4. Divide for Front and Back

Mark halfway points for front and back (using the little “waves” or “peaks” of your chevron).
Each section should have an equal number of chevron peaks for balance.
Work flat (not in the round) for each section, back first, then front. Each section should be about 17 cm tall (or your desired armhole depth).

5. Shape Neckline and Shoulders

Divide top of each section into three parts: left shoulder, neck opening, right shoulder.
Work each shoulder separately, following the same chevron pattern until you reach your total desired height (usually 19 cm from start of armhole section).
Repeat for both back and front. The front neckline is deeper and starts earlier.

6. Join Shoulders

Use a tapestry needle and the yarn tails to neatly stitch the shoulder seams.
Make sure to align the chevron peaks.

7. Finish Neckline and Sleeves

Turn blouse inside out. Attach yarn at the neckline, and work one round of single crochet (sc) stitches all around for neatness.
For sleeves, use the same yarn and do one round of half-double crochet (hdc) or single crochet around the armholes.

8. Weave in Ends

Use your tapestry needle to weave in all yarn tails inside the blouse.

Extra Tutor’s Tip

Always use stitch markers to keep track of the start/end of each round or section—this helps you stay organized and keeps your chevron waves neat!
