Materials Needed

• Yarn of your choice (lightweight cotton recommended)
• Crochet hook (size appropriate for your yarn)
• Scissors
• Measuring tape

Step 1: Measure and Chain

• Measure from your neck down to the middle of your back.
• Make a slip knot and insert your hook.
• Chain to match your measurement (example: 16.5 inches of chain).

Step 2: Begin the Body of the Top

• Yarn over, skip the first two chains.
• Half-double crochet (HDC) into the third chain.
• Continue HDC across the entire row.

For Step 3: Build Your Square

• Chain two and turn your work.
• Skip the first stitch and HDC into the next.
• Continue HDC across the row.
• Repeat this process to create a square. (Example: 16.5" x 16.5")

Step 4: Create the Sleeves/Straps

• Divide your yarn into two parts for the straps.
• Insert your hook into the corner of the top and pull the yarn through.
• Wrap the first yarn over the hook, then the second yarn.
• Pull through both loops on your hook.
• Repeat this motion until your strap reaches the desired length.
• To finish, yarn over both strands and pull through, then cut the yarn.

Step 5: Add the Second Strap

• Repeat the same strap-making process in the same stitch.

For Step 6: Final Assembly

• Thread both straps through the corresponding sides of the top.
• Repeat the strap process for the opposite corner.
• Adjust straps as needed and your diamond halter top is ready to wear!
