Materials

Medium weight yarn (e.g., acrylic or cotton)
5mm crochet hook
Scissors
Yarn needle

Front Panel

Create a slip knot and chain the length from just below your waist to above your hips (e.g., 60 chains).

Add two more chains after the initial chain.
Half-double crochet in each chain, starting from the third chain from the hook.
Chain two and turn your work at the end of the row.
Repeat half-double crochet rows, skipping the two turning chains, until the panel reaches your armpit area (e.g., 30 rows).

Halter Straps (Top Straps)

Attach new yarn to the corner stitch of the front panel.
Chain two and work 10 half-double crochets across.
Repeat 10 half-double crochets for 25 rows or until the strap reaches the back of your neck.
Decrease:
Chain one, half-double crochet decrease at the beginning of the row, work across, and decrease in the last two stitches.
Chain one, turn, and repeat until only four stitches remain.
Cut yarn and pull through to secure.
Repeat for the second strap on the opposite side.

Side Straps

Turn the main panel to its side and attach new yarn to the corner.
Chain two and half-double crochet across (half the number of rows in the front panel, e.g., 15 stitches).
Chain two, turn, and repeat until strap fits around your back (e.g., 30 rows).
Decrease:
Chain one, half-double crochet decrease at the beginning and end of each row.
Repeat until 2–3 stitches remain.
Cut yarn and pull through to secure.
