Crochet Tie Front Top

Materials:

Crème Cotton Yarn by Loops & Threads (I used 470 m/238 g)
Another yarn I recommend for this top (but didn't use for this video)
2.5 mm crochet hook
crochet hook set I use
yarn scissors
darning needles
measuring tape
stitch markers
sewing clips

Pattern Instructions:

Back Panel:

Use DK weight yarn and a 2.5mm crochet hook.
Make a slip knot and chain a multiple of 20 stitches.
Chain a bit over half of your bust measurement, considering the ripple stitch pattern.
Chain 3 more, then make a double crochet in the fourth chain.
Continue working down the chain, making decreases and increases to create a ripple effect.
Repeat rows of plain double crochets and single crochets until you reach the desired length.

Front Panels:

For each front panel, chain half the width of the back panel, following the same pattern as the back panel.
Stop at about seven inches below the back panel's top edge.
Shape the edges to match the back panel's length.

Joining Panels:

Align the left edge of the back panel with the left edge of one front panel.
Slip stitch together along the side, matching double crochet rows with two slip stitches and single crochet rows with one slip stitch.
Repeat for the other front panel.
Finish off when both front panels are attached to the back panel.

Shoulder Straps:

From the top left corner of the back panel, slip stitch up the side of the front panel to the top edge.
Repeat for the other side.
The single crochet rows require one slip stitch per row, while the double crochet rows require two slip stitches per row.
Continue until you reach the top edge of the front panel.

Sleeve (Optional):

For the sleeve version, continue crocheting above the front panel edge to form the sleeve opening.
Follow the same pattern for increases, decreases, and stitches to shape the sleeve.
