Starting the Chain
- Begin by making a slip knot.
- Chain a number long enough to fit around your bust (multiple of 2 recommended).
- Make sure it stretches comfortably and isn’t too tight.
Creating the Body
- Work double crochet (dc) into each chain across the foundation row.
- Chain 2 and turn your work at the end of each row.
- Continue working in rows of double crochet until the desired length is reached (around 6–8 inches for a crop top).
Shaping the Cups
- Fold the rectangle in half.
- Identify the midpoint to create the cups.
- Attach yarn to the midpoint and work rows of double crochet in a triangle shape, decreasing 1 stitch per row on each side.
- Repeat the process for the other cup on the opposite side.
Adding Straps
- Attach yarn to the top corner of one cup.
- Chain a long strap (around 60–70 chains depending on preference).
- Repeat for the other three corners (two for the top ties, two for the back ties).
Finishing Touches
- Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
- Optionally, add a shell stitch or picot edging for a decorative border.
