Rectangle (make two)
Foundation chain: Chain loosely – 171[171, 179, 187, 195, 203] stitches.
- R1: Starting with 2nd st from hook: SC in each st. 170[170, 178, 186, 194, 202].Ch2.Turn
- R2 (RS): 7[ 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]BLHDC, 3DC, continue with TC until 10[10, 11, 12, 13, 14] stitches remains on row , 3DC, finish the row by 7[ 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]BLHDC. Ch1. Turn.
- R3 (WS): SC in 3rd loop of HDC, for a total of 7[ 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]SC,, 3rd loop of HDC
Continue by working in between the posts (not through the stitch)
- SC in the open space after each DC,
- SC in the open space after each TC,
- SC in the open space after each DC – make sure you make the last SC in the open space after the last DC,end the row by SC in 3rd loop of HDC for a total of 7[ 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]SC. Ch1. Turn.
- You have the same number of sts: 170[170, 178, 186, 194, 202].

- R4 (RS): SC in each stitch. 170[170, 178, 186, 194, 202]. Ch1. Turn
- R5 (WS): SC in each stitch. 170[170, 178, 186, 194, 202]. Ch2. Turn
Repeat R2-R5, until you obtain 8.5″[9″,9.75″, 10.5″, 11.5″,12.5″]-is half the width of the top.
- * For a nice finish, at the last repetition work only the rows 2-4, so the last row will be row 4,instead of row5.
- ** If you prefer a wider blouse, repeat R2-R5 until you get the desired width.Tie off leaving a 25″ tail for seaming. Bind off.
Make the second rectangle identical to the first rectangle.
Assembly
After both rectangles are made, them are seamed together, at the center & sides.
The center assembly (the blue lines)
- line them up and sew at the center, using the mattress stitch, or your preferred seaming method: front seam and back seam–to create the plunging v-neck
The side assembly (the green lines)
- bend the rectangles and overlap them,
- sew up on each side from the bottom of both the front and back panels up leaving approximately 4 [4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8]” open for the arm holes.

Sleeves (work twice)
Worked in round, but Turn at the end of Row and make the next Row on the opposite side:
- R1( WS): With the wrong side facing you, join yarn with a slip st in bottom of one sleeve opening, Ch1 and crochet SC in each stitch up to shoulder and down along the armhole. Join with SlSt in Ch1. Ch3. Turn.
- R2( RS): TC in each SC. Ch1. Turn.
- R3 ( WS): SC in the open space after each TC, then working in between the posts. Join with SlSt in Ch1. Cut the yarn. Bind off.
Add a single crochet border around the bottom:
- With the wrong side facing you, join yarn with a slip st in the bottom edge, sideways.
- Ch1 and crochet SC in each stitch around the edge.
- Join with SlSt in Ch1.
- Cut the yarn. Bind off.
