Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Make the Foundation Chain

For Extra-Small, chain 66.
For other sizes, adjust chain length to your body measurements plus 2.
Make a knot to anchor the start.

2. First Row

Half-double crochet (hdc) into the third chain from hook.
In the next chain, work two hdc.
Skip one chain, do two hdc in the next chain—repeat this across the row.
Finish the row with one hdc in the last chain.

3. Form the Pattern

Chain 2, turn.
Hdc in first stitch, two hdc in next stitch, skip a stitch, two hdc in next stitch—repeat across the row.
Last stitch: one hdc.

4. Increase Length

Continue as above for each row, chaining 2 and turning.
Work rows until you reach your desired length (sample used 18 rows).
Add more rows for longer coverage.

5. Shape Underarms and Neckline

Find the center of the row (e.g., stitch 32 of 64 for XS).
Place a marker at the center.
Start underarm shaping: chain one, then slip stitch in four stitches at the start of the next row (this is a decrease).
Continue in established pattern across to the marked center.
At the center chain, work one hdc and end row.

6. Shape Neckline

Chain one, turn.
Work two slip stitches at the start of the new row for neckline shaping.
Continue pattern as before.

7. Repeat Decreases

Continue slip stitch decreases at underarm and neckline on each new row, repeating decreases in sets of four at the edge until only eight stitches remain for the strap.
For a wider strap, stop earlier; for narrower, continue as described.

8. Make Straps

Work even across the remaining eight stitches until preferred strap length (sample: 13 rows).
For deeper neckline, add more rows.

9. Make Second Panel

Repeat entire pattern for the other half of the top.

10. Assembly

Sew side seams and shoulder seams together using a yarn needle and leftover yarn.
Hide all yarn ends neatly after seaming.

Tip

Always place a stitch marker or scrap of yarn in the center chains and along strap joins for perfectly symmetrical shaping and easy assembly!
