Materials Needed:
- Crochet Hook
- Yarn
- Scissors
- Measuring Tape
Steps:
Base Row:
Start with a slip knot.
Chain the length around your stomach. Ensure this fits comfortably; not too tight.
Do a row of single crochets (SC):
Insert the hook into the first chain.
Yarn over, pull through (you now have 2 loops on the hook).
Yarn over, pull through both loops.
Mesh Rows:
Chain 5 to start the mesh row.
Double crochet (DC) in the 3rd stitch:
Yarn over, insert into the stitch.
Yarn over, pull through (you now have 3 loops on the hook).
Yarn over, pull through 2 loops.
Yarn over, pull through the remaining 2 loops.
Chain 2, skip 2 stitches, and double crochet in the 3rd stitch:
Repeat the step above for the entire row.
Continue for the number of mesh rows desired, remembering to chain 5 at the start of each new mesh row.
Transition to Double Crochet:
From the last mesh row, chain 2 to start the double crochet rows.
Turn your work.
Double crochet in each stitch:
Maintain consistent stitch counts to avoid increasing or decreasing the row length.
Continue for the length required.
Making Straps:
Measure the length needed for your shoulders.
Attach yarn with a slip knot to the starting point on the top.
Chain the required length for the strap.
Attach the end of the strap to the other side of the shoulder using a slip stitch.
Repeat for the second shoulder strap.
Back Straps:
Chain the length needed for tying the back.
Weave through the mesh or double crochet rows as desired.
Finishing:
Weaving in Loose Ends:
Use a darning needle or a smaller crochet hook to weave in and hide all the loose ends back into the stitches.
Final Note:
Ensure the top fits you well and adjust the stitches and rows as per your size.
Be creative with the back patterns and strap styles.
