Frontal Part (Cups)

Starting Chain: Begin with a slip knot and create a chain of about 30 stitches. This chain should extend from the bottom of the top to the nipple, covering it.
First Row: Chain up two, then make the first double crochet in the fifth chain. Continue with one double crochet in each chain until the end of the row.

Nipple Part (Increase):

In the last chain, make five double crochets in the same chain to create a flat cup.
Repeat the five-double-crochet increase in the middle of every row.

Subsequent Rows (First Half of Cup): Start each row with two chains.

Make one double crochet in each chain of the previous row.
In the middle, where the five double crochets were made in the previous row, make five double crochets again.
Continue with one double crochet on the other side of the basic chain until the end of the row.
Repeat for about three to four rows.

Second Half of Cup (Reduced Increase): Make four more rows, but instead of five double crochets in the middle, make three double crochets.

This creates a larger cup that covers half of the body.

Back Part

Starting Stitches: Identify a section of about 20 double crochets to form the back part.

Increasing Rows:

For every second row, increase the stitches from the upper part.
Chain up two, then make the first double crochet in the first chain.
Repeat this increase for about eight rows.
Straight Rows: After eight increasing rows, continue for about four more rows without increasing, keeping the sides straight. This results in a total of 12 rows for the back part.

Second Frontal Part

Repeat the entire process for the first frontal part to create an identical second piece.

Joining the Frontal Parts

Slip Stitch Row: Insert the hook into the bottom angle of the first part and pull through a chain. Make one row of slip stitches by inserting the hook through both parts, ensuring each chain corresponds to a chain in the other part. Keep the yarn loose.

Attaching the Strips

Strap Placement:

Position the top as it would be worn.
Attach the strips to the sixth row of the cup (middle of the 12 rows of the back part).
Ensure the strap is attached at the same distance on both sides.

First Strap (Single Crochet and Chain):

Starting from the back side, make single crochets along the vertical chains until you reach the strap attachment point (sixth row).
Once at the strap point, make a chain of about 45 stitches (adjust based on desired length and yarn elasticity).
Insert the hook into the middle of the cup and pull through the loop to attach the chain.
Make one row of single crochets along the chain, then attach it with a slip stitch to the top.
Continue with single crochets until you reach the cup, then attach with a slip stitch to the cup. Cut the yarn.

Second Strap (Mirror Way):

Attach the yarn to the cup with a slip stitch.
Reach the strap attachment point with single crochets, ensuring it's at the same distance as the first strap.
Make the same quantity of chains (45) for the strap.
Attach it to the cup as done before.
Turn with one row of single crochets along the strap.
Attach with a slip stitch and continue with single crochets until you reach the middle of the top.
Close the row with a slip stitch by inserting the hook into the first double crochet of the first part.

Cut the yarn.

Joining the Cups Together

Front Connection: Count the chains to ensure they are equal. Insert the hook through both parts and attach the yarn with a slip stitch.
Slip Stitch Row: Make one chain, then repeat the process of making slip stitches through both parts, one chain to another, until the end.

Finishing the Bottom

Single Crochet Row: Along the entire bottom of the top, make one row of single crochets.
Close Row: Close the row with a slip stitch at the first single crochet made at the beginning of the row. Cut the yarn and hide all yarn tails.
