Materials N eeded:
- Medium weight (4) yarn
- 3.5mm and 4.5mm crochet hooks
- Scissors
- Needle
Base of the Project:

Start:
- Using the 3.5mm hook, chain 15.
First Row:
- Skip one chain and make single crochet stitches in every chain.
Subsequent Rows:
- Flip your work and make single crochet (SC) stitches on the back loop of every stitch, including the first one.
Build Rows:
- Continue flipping and repeating SC on the back loops until you have 15 rows (for size small).
Joining Both Sides:

Slip Stitch Join:
- Join both sides using slip stitches—insert the hook inside the front loop of the first stitch, then the back loop of the second stitch, yarn over (YO) and pull through all loops.
Crochet Edge:
- Chain one, then work single crochet stitches all around, with one SC for each of the 15 rows you've made, resulting in 15 SC stitches.
Continue Building the Project:

Hook Change:
- Change your hook from 3.5mm to 4.5mm.
More Rows:
- Chain one, then repeat single crochet stitches in every stitch until you have 15 rows. Chain one at the end of each row.
Mid-Marking:
- Once you have completed 15 rows, identify the middle stitch as well as the stitches on the sides for the upcoming triangles.
Working on Triangles:

Triangle Base:
- Attach your yarn to the right side and work towards the marker at the middle.
Row Reductions:
- For each row, start by combining the first two stitches into one SC, then SC in every stitch until you have two stitches remaining before the marker.
- Combine the last two stitches into one SC as done at the start of the row.
Flip and Repeat:
- Chain one and flip your work.
- Repeat this process, first combining the first two stitches into one SC, then SC in every stitch, and finally combining the last two stitches into one SC.
- Continue until you form a triangle.
Last Stitches of Triangle:
- When you have a few stitches remaining, combine them as instructed to continue the decrease until you finish the triangle.
Second Triangle:
- Skip the stitch with the marker, attach the yarn on the next one, and repeat the triangle pattern.
Finishing Triangles and Edges:

Single Crochet Around:
- After making 4 triangles on each side, make single crochet stitches all around the triangles, then slip stitch to where you started.
Changing Hooks:
- Go back to using the 3.5mm hook.
Creating Shoulder Straps:
Start Straps:
- Chain five, skip the first stitch and make single crochet in the 4 remaining chains.
Connecting Straps:
- Make a slip stitch on the first and second SC of the triangle.
Strap Building:
- Flip your work. Skip the two slip stitches, make single crochet stitches on the back loop of the 4 SC, then flip your work and repeat.
- Do this until you reach the top of your next triangle, working symmetrically on both sides.
Finishing Halves of Triangles:
Yarn Attachment:
- Attach the yarn in the middle stitch.
Continuation:
- Just as you've made straps, continue with chain 5, SC on back loops, and connect to the triangles, until you reach the top of the triangle.
Finishing Length:
- Ensure you continue the single crochet stitch in the back loop of every stitch without skipping the ones from the slip stitch until you reach the desired length for your shoulder.
Invisible Join:
Invisible Join:
- Use a needle to join both sides using the invisible join technique, weaving in the loose ends for a seamless finish.
