Materials Needed:
- "I Love This Yarn" in two colors: Brown and Coffee
- Crochet Hook Size: 4.5 mm
- Scissors
- Tapestry Needle
Starting with the Bottom Rib:
Create a Slip Knot:
- Wrap the yarn around two fingers, cross it over, pull up a loop, and then slip knot.
Chain 11:
- Counting the loop on the hook as the first chain.
Single Crochet (SC) in the Back Bumps:
- Starting in the third chain from the hook, insert the hook, pull up a loop, wrap the yarn over, and pull through both loops on the hook. Continue SC all the way across to the last bump.
Chain 1 and Turn:
- Work only in the back loops for the subsequent row.
Ribbing:
Increase Rows:
- For each row, chain one, turn your work, and single crochet into the back loops only until the end of the row. Do this for 43 rows in total.
Color Change and Pattern:
- At the end of the 43rd row, prepare to change colors to Dark Brown.
To Change Colors:
- Insert your hook into the last stitch, start a double crochet but switch to the new color before finishing the stitch. Cut the old color, tie the ends together, and proceed with the new color.
Working with the New Color:
Continue the Same Pattern:
- Chain 1, turn your work, and continue single crocheting in the back loops only for another 43 rows.
Middle Section and Split for Top:
Prepare for Split:
- After completing both sections, you’ll work on splitting the top for cups.
Placement of Stitch Markers:
- Place stitch markers to indicate where the split will start.
- Need three stitch markers for a solid color top (to mark the middle and five stitches from the middle on both sides).
- Double Crochet Section for Cups:
Initiate Double Crochet (DC) Section:
- Start crocheting in double crochets from one marked point to another, creating the shape for the cups.
Decreases:
- At the beginning of the inner sections of each cup, decrease using the DC2gether technique to shape the cup.
Continue with DC:
- Work in DC, decreasing as necessary until you complete the shaping of the cups.
Finishing Touches:
Straps:
- After shaping the cups, chain 30-34 (or desired length) for straps, and work in double crochet back and forth.
Edging:
- Add edgings along the top and bottom edges using single crochet. This can be done in a contrasting color for a design pop.
Corset Back Detail:
- For a corset back, start at the bottom center back, single crochet up one side, chain across the gap, and then single crochet down the opposite side.
Lacing the Back:
- Use the yarn to lace through the gaps created by the corset stitching, adjusting for fit.
