Crochet Square Neck Top

Materials Needed:

• Yarn (The type and weight can vary but a thinner yarn was used for the lining, and a standard weight for the main structure)
• Crochet hooks (appropriate size for the yarn selected)
• Safety pins or hair clips for positioning the straps
• Needle and thread (matching the yarn)
• Ribbon (optional, for decorative purposes)

Instructions:

Ribbing (Back Panel)

Chain 20:

• This creates the width of the ribbing.
• Chain 2 more for the height.

Half Double Crochet (HDC):

• Start from the fourth chain from the hook and make one HDC in every chain.

Continue with HDC back loops only:

• Chain 3 (for turning), flip your work, and continue HDC in back loops only across the row.

Repeat the previous step 14 more times;

• (total of 16 rows), counting your stitches regularly to maintain consistency.

Front Panel

Chain 95:

• Adjust the number to fit your size.

Start making the body of the top:

• HDC in every chain.

Continue creating rows:

• without connecting them until you’ve completed the required width. This creates the main front panel and sides.

Straps

Test Fit:

• Try on the incomplete top to position and mark where the straps should be placed.

Start Crocheting Straps:

• Using half double crochets, make a strap by chaining enough stitches for the desired width.

Create 6 Rows:

• with 8 HDC each row.

Increase HDC to 9 :

• per row for the next rows until you reach the desired length of the strap.

Attach the straps:

• Sew or crochet the straps to the designated markings on the front panel.

Bottom Edging and Mesh

Create a Single Crochet Lining:

• Start anywhere on the lower edge and create a single crochet lining around.

Make the Mesh:

• Chain 4, then triple crochet, skip a stitch, chain 1, and repeat around.
• This creates a mesh-like fabric.
• You can vary the number of chains and stitches based on your design preference.

Finishing

Line with contrasting yarn (optional):

• Using a thinner yarn, line the inside edges of the garment for a neater finish.

Attach a ribbon (optional):

• Attach a decorative ribbon to the center or any preferred area.

Weave in all ends:

• Secure and weave in all loose ends from the yarn.

Additional Notes:

• Constantly try on the piece during the creation process to ensure a good fit.
• Adjust the number of stitches and rows based on your size and desired fit.
