Materials Needed:
- Yarn of your choice
- Crochet hook suitable for your yarn
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Making the Pieces:
Starting the Piece:
- Start with a magic circle.
- Make three double crochets inside the circle, then pull to tighten.
First Few Rows:
- For the next row, chain one, yarn over, then make three double crochet in the first stitch.
- Make one double crochet in the next stitch.
- Make three double crochet in the last stitch of the row.
Next row:
- Chain one, make two double crochet in the first stitch, one double crochet in the next five stitches, and two double crochet in the last stitch.
Following Rows:
- Continue the pattern by starting each row with a chain one, alternating the starting of the row with either three or two double crochet in the first stitch, making one double crochet in each of the middle stitches, and ending the row by matching the beginning (three double crochet in the last stitch or two, based on the row's start).
Last Rows Before Joining:
- For the final rows before joining the pieces, maintain the pattern of alternating the start (chain one, then either two or three double crochet) and following the established pattern across the row.
Making the Second Piece:
- Repeat the entire process to create an identical second piece. Do not cut your yarn at the end of the second piece as it will be used for joining.
Joining the Pieces:
- With both pieces completed, continue from the yarn attached to the second piece: Chain one.
- Proceed with an alternate pattern of one single crochet and one double crochet across the edge of the second piece.
- To join the second piece to the first, insert your hook into the corresponding stitch of the first piece when you reach the end of the second piece, then continue the pattern across the first piece.
Middle Part:
- After joining the pieces, continue the pattern (an alternate of single crochet and double crochet) across the middle part for a total of 14 rows (or more if a longer length is desired).
Full Back and Shell Stitches:
- Add rows of double crochet for the full-back part.
- Once the desired length is reached, join it to the other side to complete the back.
For the bottom shell stitch part:
- Start with a new yarn section, make chain one then create a pattern of chain two spaces skipped, and double crochets until you achieve a complete bottom edge.
- Increase the shell pattern by making rows of 5 double crochet shells along the bottom edge to create the decorative finish.
Final Steps:
- Weave in all loose ends with a tapestry needle.
- Create straps from chains to the desired length, attaching them securely to the top of the piece.
