Materials:

Medium weight yarn
Scissors
Yarn needle
3 mm crochet hook

Instructions:

Starting Loop:

Wrap yarn around your finger twice.
Cross the first loop over the second.
Pull the second loop over the initial fast loop, forming a knot.
Tighten the knot and insert the crochet hook into the loop.

Foundation Chain:

Yarn over (bring yarn from back to front) and pull through to make a chain.
Add one more chain to have a total of four chains.

Form Circle:

Slip stitch in the first chain to form a circle.

Round 1:

Chain 5, then prepare for double crochet.
Make 3 double crochets in the circle.
Chain 2, followed by 3 more double crochets in the circle.
Chain 2 again and complete the set with 3 double crochets in the circle.
Chain 2, make 2 double crochets (the initial chain 5 counts as a double crochet).
Close the round with a slip stitch in the third chain of the initial chain.

For Round 2:

Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).
Work double crochets and corners as follows:
2 double crochets, chain 2, 2 double crochets in the first corner.
1 double crochet in each stitch until the second corner; repeat the corner pattern.
Continue pattern until fourth corner is done.
Slip stitch into the third chain to close the round.

Round 3 and Onward:

Chain 3 (first double crochet).
Work 1 double crochet in each stitch until the first corner.
In each corner: 2 double crochets, chain 2, 2 double crochets.
Repeat pattern until the piece covers desired chest area.

Adding Details:

Chain 3.
Double crochet in next stitch.
Chain 2, skip 2 stitches, then 2 double crochets in next stitches.
Continue pattern.

Straps and Edging:

Chain a length appropriate for straps (the tutorial suggests 80).

Attach the strap by making 2 single crochets in one corner space on the top of the piece.
Chain the same length as the other strap.
Work slip stitches back along the chain and across the top edge.
Create side straps by chaining desired length for each side.
Attach straps by knotting in the corner spaces on the sides and weave in ends.
