Materials Needed:

• Tape Measure

• Fluffy Yarn (For the top part of the crop top; brand mentioned was “Fantastic” by Love, purchased at Walmart)
• Size 3 Yarn (Main yarn, two skeins needed)
• 3.5 mm Crochet Hook

Step-by-Step Pattern:

Measurements and Starting Chain

• Measure from the top of your chest to your belly button to determine the length of the top.
• Create a slip knot and chain enough to match your measurement (For the creator, it was 50 chains).

First Row

• Chain one more (this is your turning chain).
• Half Double Crochet (HDC) into the second chain from the hook.
• HDC in every chain across the row.

Second Row

• Chain one (turning chain) and turn your work.
• HDC into the first stitch.
• HDC in the back loops only of every stitch across until the last stitch.
• In the last stitch, HDC through both loops.

Repeat Pattern

• Continue with the pattern: Chain one, turn your work, and HDC in both loops of the first stitch.
• Then, HDC in back loops only until you reach the last stitch where you’ll HDC through both loops.
• Repeat this sequence until you reach the desired width. The fabric should wrap around but not fully touch, leaving a gap for a criss-cross on the front.

Creating Holes for Straps

• Chain one and turn.
• Place 3 HDCs in both loops.
• Chain two, skip two stitches, and HDC in the next stitch.
• Continue with 4 HDCs, chain two, skip two stitches, and then 4 HDCs until the end.
• Repeat this sequence on the other edge for symmetry.

Edge Single Crochet (for holes)

• Chain one, turn your work.
• Single crochet in every stitch and them place two single crochets in the chain-two spaces.
• Repeat for each side where holes have been made.

Border Edging

• Without cutting the yarn, continue to single crochet around the borders of the top for a clean finish.

Introducing Fluffy Yarn

• Cut off the main yarn and fasten off.
• Attach the fluffy yarn and place a single crochet in every stitch around for a fluffy texture.

Finishing Touches

• Chain one, fasten off, and weave in all ends.

Straps

• Cut 60 inches of yarn (or a desired length).
• Weave through the holes created earlier in a criss-cross/corset pattern.
• Option to chain a long strand and use as straps or leave it as a tube top.
