Materials Need

Yarn: Two colors (e.g., black and chiffon)

• Loops & Threads "Chiffon" – 2.5 oz, 120 yds, 100% cotton, size 4

Hook: 1.9 mm crochet hook (yarn recommends size 5)

Extras: Bobby pins (for positioning), scissors, and a needle for weaving in ends

Part 1: Creating the Cups

• Use black yarn, chain 5 and connect to form a circle.
• Chain 3 to lift.
• Yarn over and crochet 12 double crochet (dc) posts into the circle.
• Slip stitch to connect to the first post.

Switch to chiffon yarn (don’t cut the black).

• Chain 3; pull black yarn tight behind.
• In the same stitch: crochet 1 single crochet (sc), then 2 dc posts.
• Crochet 1 sc in the next stitch.
• Repeat this sc + 2 dc pattern for the round.
• Alternate colors each row (total: 5 rows).
• Next 2 rows: post crochets only, no doubling.
• Finish and pull yarn through, leaving 1–1.5 yards.
• Repeat to create the second cup.

Part 2: Creating the Base

• Chain 100 loops for a small size (adjust for larger sizes).
• Chain 3 to lift.
• Crochet a full row using dc stitches.
• Alternate colors per row: black → chiffon → black.
• Crochet 8–10 rows for a crop top length (add more for longer tops).

For Part 3: Connecting the Cups

• Measure and mark where cups will go, leaving center space.
• Crochet 6 rows on either side of the gap.
• Use the long thread from the cups to sew them onto the base.
• Secure with bobby pins while sewing.

Part 4: Creating the Straps

• Use both yarns together to make thicker straps.
• Attach yarn off-center on the sides of the top.
• Chain 45 loops (or adjust for preferred length).
• Attach the strap to the back, counting 10 stitches from the edge.
• Cut and weave in loose ends.

Part 5: Finishing Touches

• Crochet a simple loop chain for the back closure.
• Choose between a shoelace-style tie or button closure.
• Cut and tidy all yarn ends.
