How to crochet women´s sweater

Hello everyone, welcome to my channel. My name is Emile and today we are going to crochet this woman's blouse in medium size with 88 cm breast circumference and 55 cm length. What I have used to make this blouse is about 350 grams of this cotton port yarn recommended to be worked with a 4 to 5 mm crochet hook and I have used the 4.5 mm crochet hook also to place markers and the scissors. So let's get started. Well let's get started chaining 60 chains and this is the moment where we have to decide how long we want the sleeve and the blouse. But let's get started twisting the thread with the tail under the thread coming from the bow and what you're gonna do is introduce the crochet hook into this loop and grab the thread and pull through the loop and this is how we get the slip knot. And then what you're gonna do is yarn over and pull through the chain. Yarn over and pull through the chain. Two, three, four, five. Once we have the 60 chains you have to know that the stitch of the blouse it's made in multiple of four stitches. So we got 20 stitches, 20 chains for the large of the sleeve and 40 chains for the large of the blouse. So if we wanna have longer sleeves we just need to add chains until we have the large we have but it has to be multiple of four. So it could be 24, 28, 32 or 40 or just the larger you need but it has to be multiple of four chains. And then for the large of the blouse it's the same. We just have to add multiple of four stitches until we have the large we need for our blouse. So what you're gonna do now is continue with the first row preparing our blouse. And what you're gonna do is first chain three extra. One, two, three. Which is the measure of the double crochet. And what you're gonna do is continue with 20 double crochets. So going to the chain number five. One, two, three, four, five. This is where we are going to make the second double crochet. Yarn over, introduce into the chain the crochet hook, pull the yarn through the chain and then we're gonna close two by two, two and two. This is how we get the our first two double crochets. As the three chains are counting as another double crochet. Okay, so for the next one. Yarn over, into the next chain, pull through the chain, close two and two. Three double crochets, four, five and this is how we continue until we have 20 double crochets for the large of the sleeve. Once we have the 20 double crochets and we know that this is the large of our sleeve what we are going to do is continue with the large of our blouse. And what you're going to do to separate these two parts is chaining for one, two, three, four. And actually here is where we are going to start from the next row with the increases. So what you're going to do is place this place marker here and actually probably you're not going to need it but I'm going to place it just to see where we are going to make the increases. Anyway what you're gonna do now is continue with double crochets until the end of the chains and if everything is going okay we should have 40 chains. So from the next chain from the next chain we are going to continue with double crochets in each one of them until the end of the first row. Once we have the 40 double crochets until the end of the chains what we are going to do is turn our labor and continue with the second row where we are going to start with the increases. And you have to know as well that the second row is the wrong part of the labor. So what you're gonna do first is we have to continue with the sequence of two double crochets and two chains. So for the first double crochet we are going to make one single crochet in the very first chain here wrap the yarn and close these two loops together. So this is going to count as one chain and then we're going to chain two more one and two. So this is the measure of the double crochet and now we are going to make one double crochet into the next chain one double crochet. Okay, so we already have the two double crochets and then what we are going to do is chain two. Skipping these two chains we're gonna start from the third chain with another two double crochets. One in each chain after the second one. Again two chains one two. Skipping two chains from the third we're gonna do one double crochet and two double crochets. Skipping two and the last two double crochets one and two. And if you see we have another two stitches before the place where we are going to make the increase. So what we're going to do is first chain two to skip these two stitches and then we're gonna start with the increase doing one double crochet and two double crochets. Then we're gonna chain two one and two and we're gonna make the V which is one double crochet, one chain and another double crochet. And what you're gonna do is move the place marker to this V which is here and here is where you're always where we're always gonna have the V and the two increases on each side of the V. So over with the increase what you're gonna do is chain two and another two double crochet in the same place. Then we need to continue with the same sequence of two double crochets and two chains. So we're gonna chain two. One two. Skipping the two first stitches we continue with another two double crochets. One and two. So this how we are going to make always the increase on the wrong side. But I'm going to show you again and then we're gonna continue with two chains, skipping two stitches and two double crochets. So this is how we continue until the end of the second row. Well this is the sequence you are going to have always on the wrong part of the blouse and here we are about to over the second row with last two double crochets. And let's turn the label and continue with the third row where the sequence of the right side of the blouse of the label will be again one double crochet in each stitch. So we're gonna start again with one single crochet, chain two and one double crochet into the next double crochet of the row below. Then where we have two chains we're gonna complete them with two double crochets. One and two. And then we have again two double crochets. So we're gonna do two double crochets. One and two. Again in the next place of two chains we're gonna do again two double crochets. One and two. And this sequence we are going to have until we go to the place marker where we are going to repeat the increase. Here is where we have the increase of the row below and if you see we have the two double crochets, two chains, the V of one double crochet, one chain, another double crochet and then we have another two chains and two double crochets. On this side of the label, the right side of the label, what we are going to do is continue with double crochet until the space before the V. So we're gonna continue with two double crochets in the two double crochets of the row below. Then two double crochets in the two chains of the row below. One, two and here we have the V. So what you're gonna do is chain two and the V, which is one double crochet, chain one and another double crochet. So we have the new V of the middle in where we do the increase. So we are going to move the place marker into the next V, into the new V here and we're gonna continue again with the next increase, which will be chain two and from the next space here we're gonna do two double crochets, again two double crochets in the double crochets of the row below and this is how we're gonna complete all the stitches of the row below. So we don't skip any stitch of the row below and this is how we continue until we over the row number three. Well, how we over the row? We got the two last double crochets, one in the penultimate double crochet and the last double crochet we're gonna do it into the third chain. One, two, three in the third chain here the last double crochet and then what we're gonna do is turn our work and we're gonna continue again with the wrong side of the blouse and what we're gonna do is again one single crochet, chain two and one double crochet in the next. Then we're gonna chain two, skipping two stitches we continue with another two double crochets, one and two. So again we have the same sequence of chain two and two double crochets. So this sequence we're gonna continue until the increase, until the place marker. We're gonna make again the increase. So let's continue with it. Well, the stitch is calculated the way that we are always going to over with two double crochets before the two last double crochets of the row below and here is where we are going to start again with the increase. So we're going to do again is chain two in the space before the V we are going to do another two double crochets and then we're gonna do the V which if you remember is chain two, one double crochet, chain one and one double crochet in the V of the row below of the previous row and then we are going to move the place marker to the next V and then what you're going to do again is complete the increase which will be chain two and into the next space we do two double crochets, chain two and skipping two stitches we do two more double crochets. So this is how it looks again the increase of the new row of the row number four. So we're gonna complete the row number four with the sequence of two double crochets and two chains until the end of the row. So let's continue with it. The two last double crochets of the row number four we have this and the last one is into the third chain here and these are the first four rows of our blouse. So the sequence of the two last rows we are going to repeat until we have 12 rows total. We already have four rows so we need another eight rows with the sequence of the two last rows until we have 12 where we are going to separate our work in two parts one for the sleeve and one for the main part of the blouse. So let's continue. Well this is how it looks like after the 12 rows of the this stitch and you can count six rows of the double crochets all double crochets and six rows of the double crochets of the pairs of double crochets with the holes. And let me remind you that this is the part of the sleeve and this is the main part of the blouse. So what we are going to do is continue with double crochet in each stitch of the row below until the penultimate pair of double crochet. It means that the increase we are going to leave it free then we're going to continue with the main part of the blouse. So let's continue with this part. Well the same way we started all the rows until now we are going to start again in the same way with one single crochet, chain two and then we're going to complete all the stitches of the row below with one double crochet until we go to the ultimate pair of double crochet. So in each hole we're gonna complete again with two double crochets and each pair of double crochet we're gonna work it with another double crochet. So let's continue with it. Well to be more exactly we need to continue until we have 38 double crochets and what we are going to do is cut the yarn and pass it through the last stitch and this is how we over this part of the blouse the sleeve and now what we're going to do is continue on this side. Well to continue with this part of the blouse what you're going to do is skip the first pair of double crochet after the V. So we're gonna start with from the second pair and we're gonna start from the first double crochet of the second pair what we're gonna do here is slip the yarn and then we're gonna chain three. One, two and three. Then we're gonna continue with one double crochet in each stitch of the row below and actually we have to continue until we have five rows of the same stitch. What it means? It means that we have to continue with one double crochet in each stitch until the end of the row and then on the wrong side we are going to continue again with double crochets, two chains, double crochets, two chains, two double crochets, two chains, two double crochets until again where we have started and it will be the second row. The third row again it will be all double crochets and the fourth row will be again two double crochets, two chains and the fifth row will be again all double crochets. So we're gonna continue with five rows so let's continue with them. Once we have the five rows on this side what we are going to do is turn 180 degrees our labor and what we are going to do is continue on this side from the tail where we have the tail we are going to continue absolutely the same way as we did on this side of the blouse so we are going to start from here into the first double crochet of the very first row here we're gonna slip the yarn and then we're gonna start with chain in three one two three as always and then we're gonna continue with double crochet in each double crochet of the very first row and if everything is going okay we should have 40 double crochet until the space where we have to start again with the increases here on this side here I have my last double crochet and here is where we are going to make the four initial chains for the increases so we make four chains with the four chains and then we continue with double crochets again until the end of the row we can place the place marker the same way as on the other side and let's continue with the rest of the double crochets well this is again the row number one and on this side we have to continue again until we have 12 rows so what you're gonna do here is first over this first row we are going to search for the third chain and do the last double crochet turn our work and then we're going to continue again with the second row where we start with the order of two double crochets and two chains so let's start as always with the single crochet chain two and one double crochet then chain two skipping two stitches from the row below the two double crochets again and we're going to continue until the place marker where we are going to do the increase of two double crochets two chains one V two chains and two double crochet so let's continue after the two last double crochet what we should have here is another two chains which we're gonna skip with chain two and we're gonna start with the increase of two double crochet one and two then we're gonna do another two chains one two the V of one double crochet one chain one and one double crochet and now we can move the place marker to the V and then to over the increase we do another two chains and two double crochet one and two and to continue with the rest of the main part of the blouse we have to do again chain two skipping two stitches we go to the third one and we start with the double crochet okay this is the row number two and we have to continue the same way with 12 rows of the same stitch one row with all double crochet and one row with two double crochet and two chains and always the same increase in the middle so let's continue with 12 rows well this is how it looks like after the 12 rows on this side the blouse and the difference between both parts is that we have on right side on the right side we have the the main part and of and on the left side we have the sleeve so instead of continue with the sleeve we're gonna continue with the main part and we're gonna continue with five rows one two three four five rows of the same stitch for the main part so we're gonna continue first with the first row with double crochet until the penultimate couple of double crochet and then we're gonna turn our labor and continue on the wrong side with the order of two double crochet two chains two double crochet two chains so we're gonna continue with this order for five rows well this is how it looks like after the five rows of the main part of the blouse and if you see we have only the two double crochet the V and the double crochet here which is the increase so so to continue with the last row of the sleeve what we are going to do is skip all these three couples of double crochet which is double crochet two double crochet one V and one double crochet and from the first couple of double crochet after the increase we're going to start again slip the yarn and then we're gonna change here one two three and then we're gonna continue with one double crochet in each stitch of the row below and at the same time we are going to hide the tail between the double crochets we are doing well this is how it looks like after the last row of the sleeve and what we are going to do is fold this part of the blouse and what we're gonna do is we're gonna continue joining the both parts of the sleeves and then we're gonna do the same in the middle from down to to top with the tail we had in the last row of the main part of the blouse so we have the same way so we're gonna join all the parts together the same way as we are going to do it here so I'm going to show you how to do it in the sleeve first well it's not difficult but it's a different way to join the different parts of the blouse and what we're gonna do is fold it with the wrong side looking out and what we are going to do now is we're gonna look for the very first stitch on this side which will be the three chains of the measure of the double crochet and what we're gonna do now is first go to the very first chain on this side we're gonna slip introduce the crochet hook yarn over and into the third chain introduce the crochet hook and we're gonna do double crochet until here and this chain the previous chain we're gonna slip it then we go to the next stitch introduce the hook go to the other parts of the blouse of the sleeve yarn over introduce into the next chain pull the yarn close two close two and the previous stitch slip it and now what you're gonna do is do two slip into the next two stitches one and two then we go to the next one introduce the hook yarn over then we're gonna skip on the other side of the sleeve two stitches one two and we're gonna do two double crochets again here one double crochet and then we slip the stitch the previous stitch again go to the next yarn over and into the next stitch on the other side of the sleeve one double crochet and slip stitch again two slip stitches one and two then we go to the next stitch introduce the hook yarn over skip two stitches on the other side of the sleeve and into the third one we do one double crochet and slip again go to the next one yarn over one double crochet and slip and this how we're going to continue until we join all the borders of the sleeve well if everything is going okay we should have the same sequence of two double crochets and two chains the same as the rest of the stitch and this border stays inside so don't worry about it and what you're gonna do is just over with one slip stitch and we're gonna continue with the rest of the borders joining them well these are the two last parts of the the blouse and i'm joining them at the back so here i have the two last double crochets one two before the two last double crochets two slip stitches then we do two double crochets in the two double crochets on the other side of the blouse and i'm going to show you how it looks like until now and then we're going to continue with the border around the neck so let's over here with the last double crochet and we're going to continue now with the border around the neck but before that so if you see the hole around the neck is very very big and we do that because we need space to continue with another two rows doing the border around the neck and this is how it looks like where we have joined the parts this one is the middle of the two parts where you have joined them and then we've got at the sleeves as well the same here on this side as well and it's supposed to be this it's this one is supposed to be the part the back part of the blouse as we are going to continue around the neck and here is where you will you hide at the end the tail the tail so let's turn the the blouse and let's continue with those two rows and for them what we are going to do first is we're gonna go to the next line where we have the holes so we are going to work only the rows with the holes with the slip stitches what it means it means that we are not going to work the the lines with the all completed double crochet so i'm going to the next double crochet with slip stitch then we're gonna chain three one two three all right what you're gonna do is one double crochet into the same space and then we have to go to the next space the same way with chaining two and two double crochet into the same space into the next space one two again chain two into the next space we go with another two double crochet and we have to go to the v where we where we're gonna repeat with another v so what you're gonna do is work the same way the next space with chaining two one two two double crochet one and two double crochet and then we go to the v we have to do another v in the v of the row below so chain two one double crochet chain one and another double crochet into the same space so we have repeated the v of the row below then chain two and two double crochet into the same into the next space once we complete all the row around the neck what we are going to do is chain two and go to the very first three chains where we're going to do one slip stitch and then we're going to continue with the last row of the border and we're gonna chain three then one double crochet into the next double crochet of the row below and then where we have the spaces what we are going to do is two double crochets together which means yarn over pull the yarn through the space close only two of the loops and then we're gonna go for another double crochet into the same space and we do another double crochet and we are going to close all them together with the previous stitch then we're going to work each double crochet of the row below with another double crochet and then into the next space we're going to do one double crochet and two double crochet together this is how we are going to continue around the neck and where we have the the v stitch we are going to repeat it so let's go to the v and see how we do it here we have two double crochets this is the space before the double before the v and we're gonna do two double crochets together and then what we're gonna do with the v is the first double crochet one double crochet then we have the v which is one double crochet chain one and another double crochet into the same space and then we do the double crochet of the v the second double crochet of the v this is how we do the each v of the neck and then we continue with the spaces between each couple of double crochet this is how we're going to continue all around the neck with the last row of the border well once we have the last row of the border around the neck what we are going to do is continue with the borders around the sleeves and the bottom parts of the blouse we are going to do slip stitch here into the third chain and we're gonna cut the yarn flip it and then we're gonna hide it with the sewing needle and now we're gonna continue with well to continue in this part with the borders what you're going to do is first we're gonna add the thread here we're gonna pass it through any of the border stitches of the completed lines with double crochet not with the hole not with the holes then we're gonna chain one first with the tail and then we're gonna chain two more with the yarn coming from the bow this is how we start the three chains in this part and we do it to make sure this thread and then we're gonna do one double crochet at the same space and then chain two one two again two double crochet into the next completed line of double crochets one and two again chain two and into the next line two double crochets this is how we're gonna continue all all the row one and two chains then we're gonna do a slip stitch into the third chain and then we're gonna continue with the last row with one double crochet in each stitch of the row below so we're gonna start with three chaining three then one double crochet into the next double crochet of the row below and then into the two chains of the row below we're gonna do two double crochets one two then into the pair of the double crochets of the row below we do two double crochets again and again two double crochets into the two chains of the row below then this how we're going to continue until we over the last row of the border well the same two rows we use for all the borders of the sleeves and the bottom and this is how it looks like the blouse and i
