Materials Needed:

• Yarn: DK to worsted weight, with a preference for DK cotton yarn, ideal for summer wear.
• Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm (range from 3 mm to 5 mm depending on desired texture and fit).
• Multiple colors of yarn for the desired effect (minimum three colors recommended).
• Stitch markers or paperclips for marking certain stitches.

Base Star Pattern:

Find a Star Pattern: Begin with the diving ducks crochet tutorial to create the star pattern. This will be the center of your top. Pay attention to not make the starting chain too tight.

Changing Colors: Change yarn colors after every other row or every two rows based on preference.

Building the Star:

1. Starting: Work on rounds around the star base, increasing the size. Start with a standing stacked single crochet.
2. First Round Specifics: Do a double crochet three together (dc3tog) for the shaping, followed by three double crochets in the subsequent stitches.
3. Corners: In the corner chain space, work three double crochets, chain two, and three double crochets in the same space to form corners.
4. Following Rounds: Increase the number of double crochets between the corners. Repeat the pattern: dc3tog, a certain number of double crochets, corner pattern, until reaching the desired length, always increasing the spacing by two dc’s after each corner.

Sides Extension:

1. Extension: After achieving the desired front length, extend the sides by working on one side of the star, repeating the same pattern to add coverage.
2. Color Transition: You may choose to switch colors for the side extensions.

Halter Straps:

1. Front Straps: Divide your work for two straps, continue the established pattern diminishing towards the ends where it will tie behind the neck.
2. Strap Technique: Decrease by double crocheting two together at the beginning of the strap rows for a tapered look.

Finishing Touches:

1. Bottom Edging: Add a simple single crochet edge along the bottom for a finished look.
2. Blocking: After completing, block the top for the best shape and fit. Depending on your yarn choice, blocking can greatly improve the drape and final appearance.

Closing Notes:

• Adjustments: Ensure the side extensions do not exceed your midsection for a snug fit. Ensure the halter straps are long enough to tie comfortably.
• Personalization: The pattern allows for multiple color variations and sizing adjustments to fit different bodies and preferences.
