Keep a measuring tape handy and continually check fit as you work.

Pattern Instructions

PANEL 1: Halter Piece

Make Slip Knot and Chain:
- Make a slip knot and chain enough length to reach from underbust, up around your neck, and back to the other side of your underbust.
- Tip: Drape the chain over your body as you go to check length.
Row 1:
- Double crochet (dc) in the third chain from the hook and every chain across.
- After completing this row, re-measure the length. Verify that it fits comfortably as intended before continuing.
- If you need to lengthen after this row:
  - Yarn over, insert hook into the end of the row, pull up a loop, yarn over pull through one (chain), yarn over pull through two, yarn over pull through two (double crochet made).
  - Repeat as needed to extend length without unraveling.
Row 2:
- Chain 2, turn.
- Work dc in the back loop only (BLO) across the row.
Row 3:
- Chain 2, turn.
- Work dc in the front loop only (FLO) across the row.
Repeat:
- Continue alternating Row 2 (BLO dc) and Row 3 (FLO dc) until your panel is as wide as needed for desired coverage under the bust.
- End by fastening off: chain 1, cut yarn, and pull through.

PANEL 2: Waist Tie Piece

Make Slip Knot and Chain:
- Chain a length long enough to wrap around your ribcage (underbust), with extra to tie at the back.
- Add even more if you prefer tying a bow instead of a knot.
Rows:
- Repeat the same alternating pattern as PANEL 1:
  - Row 1: Dc in 3rd chain and every chain across.
  - Row 2: Ch 2, turn, dc BLO across.
  - Row 3: Ch 2, turn, dc FLO across.
  - Alternate as needed for desired width.
- End by fastening off.

ASSEMBLY

Arrange Panels:
- Position waist piece (waist tie band) around your underbust and tie the back.
- Lay the halter panel flat and place it under the bust to check coverage.
- Attach the halter to the waist panel using safety pins or by referencing a favorite bralette to determine placement.
Join Panels:
- With the pattern sides (ridges) facing, attach yarn at pinned point.
- Use single crochet (sc) stitches to seam the halter panel to the waist panel.
- Work evenly along each side; ensure edges match up.
- Fasten off, weave in ends.
- Repeat on the other side.

FINISHING

Weave in any loose yarn ends.
Try on your top, and re-tie if needed.
Adjust straps and waist ties for desired fit.

Ways to Wear

Classic Halter:
- Wear with the halter piece behind your neck and the waist piece tied at your back.
Criss-Cross Keyhole:
- Cross the halter straps over your chest and tie at your back for a stylish keyhole look.

Conclusion

You’ve now completed a customizable, soft, and trendy multi-way crochet crop top! This piece is perfect for expressing your style and adapting to your favorite outfits. Its flexible fit and cool texture make it a unique addition to your wardrobe.

TIP:

Always measure again after the first row of double crochet in each panel. Adjust length before you get too far—it's easier than adding on extra later!
