You will then proceed to increase in these 4 points for the total of stitches required.
I will also add in a handy size chart for you to crochet this as big or small as you require.
ย 
Sizes are based on the craft council woman’s size chartย I have provided 6 size variations.ย S, m, l, xl, xxl, xxxlย 
I worked up the sample used throughout this pattern for a teenager as a loose fit, with more positive ease: slightly oversized fit, larger than your actual bust/chest measurement! so please make sure you follow the size measurements made to fit you.
Approximately 4″ to 6 (10 to 15cm) more than your actual bust/chest measurement.
If you are confident and want to custom-make this you will need these measurements
  1. ย Chest/Bust โ€”Measure around the fullest part of the chest/bust. Do not draw the tape too tightly
  2. ย Center Back Neckโ€“to Wristโ€” With the arm straight, measure from the back base of the neck, across the shoulder, and along the arm to the wrist
  3. ย Back Waist Lengthโ€”Measure from the most prominent bone at the base of the neck to the natural waistline.
  4. ย Cross Backโ€”Measure from shoulder to shoulder.
  5. ย Arm Lengthโ€”With the arm slightly bent, measure from armpit to wrist.
  6. ย Upper Armโ€”Measure around the widest section of the upper arm located above the elbow.
  7. ย Armhole Depthโ€”Measure from the top outside edge of the shoulder down to the armpit.
  8. ย Waistโ€”Measure your waist at the smaller circumference of your natural waist, usually just above the belly button.
  9. Wrist Circumferenceโ€”Measure around the widest part of the wrist (I like my tops very loose, IF you want a Fluted Bell sleeve you can achieve this by increasing the hook size in every few rows as you work the sleeve down.
  10. ย Hipโ€”Measure the widest part of your lower hip. Again, If you have achieved the Bust/chest measurement but want a slightly wider hem You can achieve this by increasing several bigger hook sizes as you work the body.
The size measurements provided For reference and are approximate

ย 
materials used
ย 
Iย  used just short of 400g of double-knit yarn
5.50 mm hook to achieve gauge.
Gauge
height 5 x (treble crochet, ch2, skip 2) block squares = 4 inches
width in rows 4 x (treble crochet, ch2, skip 2) block squares = 3 inches
ย 
Please note I do crochet extremely loosely so please always check full measurements as you are making the top.

Abbreviationsย 

vst inc = increase vst, you will increase by working (trc, ch2, trc all into the same space) into a specified chain in rnd 1 and the center of previous rounds (vst inc, chain 2)

ย 
ch chain stitches,
ย 
skip 2 skip 2 chain stitches from the previous round

As you work the first round you will increase v stitch divided into back, shoulder/ front/shoulder where you will increase with a v stitch (treble crochet, chain 2, treble crochet) worked into the chain of the previous round 2 increase space.
ย 
Increase vst = increase by working (trc, ch2, trc all into the same space) into the center of previous rounds v st increase
