Crochet Winter Crop Top

Materials Needed:

Tape Measure
A pair of Scissors
Fluffy Yarn (For the top part of the crop top; brand mentioned was "Fantastic" by Love, purchased at Walmart)
Size 3 Yarn (Main yarn, two skeins needed)
3.5 mm Crochet Hook

Step-by-Step Pattern:

Measurements and Starting Chain

Measure from the top of your chest to your belly button to determine the length of the top.
Create a slip knot and chain enough to match your measurement (For the creator, it was 50 chains).

First Row

Chain one more (this is your turning chain).
Half Double Crochet (HDC) into the second chain from the hook.
HDC in every chain across the row.

Second Row

Chain one (turning chain) and turn your work.
HDC into the first stitch.
HDC in the back loops only of every stitch across until the last stitch.
In the last stitch, HDC through both loops.

Repeat Pattern

Continue with the pattern: Chain one, turn your work, and HDC in both loops of the first stitch.
Then, HDC in back loops only until you reach the last stitch where you'll HDC through both loops.
Repeat this sequence until you reach the desired width. The fabric should wrap around but not fully touch, leaving a gap for a criss-cross on the front.

Creating Holes for Straps

Chain one and turn.
Place 3 HDCs in both loops.
Chain two, skip two stitches, and HDC in the next stitch.
Continue with 4 HDCs, chain two, skip two stitches, and then 4 HDCs until the end.
Repeat this sequence on the other edge for symmetry.

Edge Single Crochet (for holes)

Chain one, turn your work.
Single crochet in every stitch and them place two single crochets in the chain-two spaces.
Repeat for each side where holes have been made.
