Materials Needed
- Eureka yarn (1 ball, 100g)
- 1.75 mm crochet needle
- Measuring tape
- Stitch markers or paper clips
- Optional: Button for neck closure

Taking Measurements
- Measure the circumference around your neck.
- Measure from the base of your neck to just under your arm.
- Measure from the underarm point to your desired top length.
Neck Band
- Chain to match your neck circumference (example: 86 chains for 35 cm).
- Row 1: Work tall stitches (e.g., double crochet) into each chain.
- Rows 2–3: Repeat tall stitches across each row.
Front Panel
- Fold the neckband to find the center.
- Mark 10 cm out on each side from the center.
- Work 24 tall stitches across the marked area.
- Increase 1–2 stitches at both ends of each row until you reach underarm length.
- Then continue working evenly (no increases) until the panel reaches your desired length.
Back Panel
- Chain the same number of stitches as the last row of the front panel (example: 98 chains).
- Work tall stitches across for about 30 rows, or until it matches the front panel’s length.
Joining the Panels
- Place both panels together, wrong sides facing out.
- Seam the sides using slip stitch or single crochet to join.
Finishing Touches
- Crochet a round of single crochet (low stitches) around each armhole to clean the edges.
- Weave in any loose yarn ends securely.
- Sew a button onto the neckband for closure.
- Optionally, sew in bra cups or padding for support.
