Crochet Corset Crop Top

Materials Needed:

Yarn (thin yarn recommended for a neater look)
3 mm crochet hook
Stitch marker
Scissors

Pattern For Making the Cups:

Start the Chain:

Make a chain from your nipple to your underbust (for the example size, chain 12). Then, chain one more for turning.

Row 1:

In the second stitch from the hook, make a single crochet. Continue with one single crochet in each chain until the end of the row.
In the last chain, work two additional single crochets (making three single crochets in the last chain). Mark the second single crochet with a stitch marker.

Turning:

Turn your work and single crochet along the edge, ensuring you have the same number of stitches as your initial chain on each side.

Repeat:

Continue the pattern, working one single crochet in each stitch. When you reach the marked stitch, work three single crochets into it, marking the second one. Chain one, turn, and repeat. Continue until the cups are the desired size.

Connecting the Cups:

Joining Cups:

Single crochet along one cup's edge, then chain enough to snugly go around your back to the other cup's edge. Connect with single crochets.
Ensure you match the number of single crochets for each cup for symmetry.

Creating the Body:

Chain from underbust to belly button (e.g., 6.5 inches), then work single crochets back along the chain.
At the end, slip stitch to join to the cup and turn.
Proceed with single crochets, decreasing at the end of rows to form the body shape by working a single crochet two together.

Finishing Touches:

Continue working single crochet rows along the bottom edge without decreasing, creating straight sides.
Increase at the edges by working two single crochets in the last stitch of a row as you work towards the opposite side of the chain.
Once the body is completed, single crochet around the edges, creating spaces for the criss-cross strings in the front bottom half by chaining one and skipping a stitch.
For the neck ties, work a lengthy chain from the top middle stitch, sufficient to tie behind the neck comfortably. Work slip stitches back along the chain for durability, then reattach with single crochets along the top edge of the corset.

Lacing:

Create a chain or use a strong yarn strand for lacing. Start from the bottom front, thread through the spaces created, crossing at the chest, over the shoulders, and tying at the back, or as preferred for ease of wear.
