Yarn over and pull through the remaining 3 loops to create a half double crochet.
Twist your work and insert your hook into the last two loops.
Repeat the process until you reach the desired length from your shoulder to where you want the top to end.

Working Double Rows

Chain 2 at the end of each row, turn your work and continue working in both loops.
Continue the pattern: yarn over, insert your hook into both loops, yarn over, and pull through all three loops.
Repeat this until you have the desired length.

Create the Top Panel

Ensure your piece fits tightly around your bust.
Chain 2 and continue with the half double crochets up to the end.

Creating the Armhole

Measure and mark arm depth with stitch markers.
Attach panels together using half double crochets.
At the end of the last half double crochet, insert your hook into the first stitch of the other panel and pull through.
Chain 2, turn your work, and continue half double crochets across both panels.

Finishing the Underarm Portion

Continue with your half double crochets up to the stitch marker and do not cut your yarn.
Count the number of stitches you have and attach them together.
Insert your hook and make slip stitches all the way around to even out the shoulder.

Completing the Shoulder

Count the number of stitches around the shoulder and divide into four sections for ease of working.
Attach stitch markers at the midpoint of each section.
Insert single crochets in each section, attaching at the midpoints.
Work up to the top shoulder point, turning and attaching with single crochets at each midpoint.

Creating the Sleeve

Chain the required number of stitches for the wrist, ensuring the top fits snugly around your wrist (typically about one hand span narrow).
Continue with the chain and attach with a slip stitch.
Turn your work and continue with half double crochets until you have the desired length of the sleeve.
Leave the last two inches and start decreasing to create a puff or balloon effect at the wrist.

Mathematical Adjustments

If necessary, measure the number of stitches per inch and adjust accordingly.
You can divide the total by four to determine how many decreases are needed at each midpoint.

Finishing

Ensure your top piece and your sleeve pieces are all correctly measured and attached.
Once you have finished all the desired lengths, secure all loose ends and make any final adjustments.

Final Tips

Constantly check the fit as you crochet, particularly around the bust and wrist.
Adjust the hook size if needed for different sections for a better fit.
