Materials Needed:

• Yarn: Marina DK Yarn
• Crochet hook: 5 mm
• Scissors
• Darning needle
• Measuring tape
• Notebook and pen for notes

Measurements:

• Full Bust Measurement (FBM): 34 inches
• Subtract 4 inches from FBM: 30 inches
• Divide by 2 to find each panel’s width: 15 inches

Pattern Instructions:

Starting the top:

Make a Magic Ring:

Hold yarn, twist over two fingers, pull the working yarn through, and secure.

• Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).
• Make two additional double crochets into the ring.

First Round:

• Chain 2.
• Add three more sets of three double crochets separated by chain 2 in the magic ring.
• Close the magic ring by pulling the tail.

Second Round and Beyond:

Chain 4 (counts as double crochet + chain 1).

• Work into the chain spaces from the previous round: 3 double crochets, 2 chains, and 3 double crochets in each chain 2 space across.
• Alternate with chain 1 between differently located spaces.

Proceeding for More Rows:

1. Repeat the steps for each subsequent round, chaining four at the start and working the shells into chain 2 spaces, growing the granny square texture.
2. Continue until the piece measures roughly half of the desired bust width (about 15 inches recommended from your measurements; adjust accordingly based on actual measurements).

Side Extensions:

Continue by adding rows but only extend on one side for asymmetry.

1. Alternate the shells in the chain spaces, expanding only on one edge.

Edging and Finishing:

1. Once the desired dimensions are reached, start working on the edging using single crochets around the top and bottom edges, smoothing out the shape.
2. Create scallops for a decorative edge if desired.

Straps and Lacing:

1. Crochet a long chain enough to lace through the back and tie securely (approximately 300-350 chains).
2. Thread this chain through the back edge loops, cross at intervals for adjustability and decorative lacing.

Final Steps:

1. Weave in all ends with darning needle.
2. Block the top if necessary to shape it properly.
