The top is made of two identical pieces- a front piece and a back piece - that are joined together with the crochet hook.

The both pieces are first worked with the Diagonal Box Stitch/ Corner to Corner Box Stitch (c2c crochet stitch) as two big c2c squares, then you will continue to shape the neckline and the shoulders with a similar stitch to c2c, a variation of the TULIP STITCH, worked in straight rows instead of on the diagonal.
In the pattern I will call it the Box Stitch in Straight Rows)
