Materials:

Crochet thread size 10 or 1
2.5 mm crochet hook

Measurements:

Customizable to your size
Example given for size small with a bust of 32 inches

Pattern Overview:

The pattern consists of creating the front and back panels separately, attaching them at the side seams, and then adding straps.

Starting Chain:

Make multiples of 19 for your starting chain.
Adjust the length longer than your actual measurement to compensate for the scallop design reducing the initial length.
For a size small, start with 114 chains (6 multiples of 19).

Row 1 (Foundation Row):

Chain up 1, then single crochet into every chain starting from the second chain from your hook to the end.

For Row 2 (Repeat Row):

Chain up 4 (counts as your first treble crochet).
In the very first chain, place an additional four treble crochets (totaling five including your chain up).
Make nine treble crochets, skipping a chain between each.
In the next chain, place five treble crochets. Repeat this sequence: 9 trebles, skip chains in between, followed by 5 trebles in one chain to create the wave effect.
Continue the sequence until the end of the row.

Row 3 (Return Pass):

Chain 1 and turn your work.
Make front post single crochets into every post from the previous row.

Repeating the Pattern:

Alternate between Row 2 and Row 3 for the pattern repeat.
For a size small, repeat for a total of 14 rows or until you reach your desired length before decreasing for the top part.

Decrease (For the Top Part):

After reaching the desired height, cut your yarn, ending on a front post single crochet row.
Reattach your yarn in the desired decrease spot (for example, skipping the first set of 19 for a size small).
Create the wave pattern as before but decrease the starting point according to your desired top decrease.
Continue the pattern until you match the desired length on this side.

Back Panel:

Repeat the same process as the front panel but without the decrease.

Side Seams:

Use slip stitches to join the front and back panels together at the side seams.

Straps:

Attach your yarn at the top corners of the back panel.
Chain the desired length for your straps (e.g., 75 chains for the given example).
Attach the straps to the front panel's top corners.
