Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Foundation Ring

Step 2: Row 1 – Begin the Square
- Ch 5 (counts as 1 dc + ch 2).
- Work 3 dc into the center of the ring.
- Ch 2, then work another set of 3 dc into the ring.
- Repeat ch 2, 3 dc twice more.
- End with ch 2, 2 dc, then sl st into the 3rd ch of the starting ch 5. This completes the square’s base.
Step 3: Row 2 – Define Corners
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc).
- In the first corner sp, work 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc to create the corner.
- Work dc into each of the next 3 st across the edge.
- At the next corner sp, repeat 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc.
- Continue this sequence around the square, working corners with 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc, and edges with dc in each st.
- End with 2 dc in the last corner and sl st into the 3rd ch of the starting ch 3.
Step 4: Extend the Square (Row 3 onwards)
- Ch 3, then dc into each stitch along the edge.
- At each corner, always work 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc into the corner space.
- Repeat this pattern for as many rows as necessary until the square fits as a diamond shape over your chest.
Step 5: Add Detailing
- For the V-stitch rows:
- Ch 3, work dc into the next st, then ch 2, skip 2 st, and work 2 dc in the next two stitches.
- Continue the sequence of ch 2, skip 2 st, 2 dc in next 2 st around the edges.
- For corners, work 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc as usual.
- Adjust each row to maintain symmetry as the number of stitches increases.
- Add 1 or 2 detail rows depending on your preference.
Step 6: Adding Straps
- Count the number of stitches needed for the desired strap placement and mark them on each side of the square.
- For each strap:
- Attach the yarn at the starting point.
- Ch desired length (depending on fit), then connect with sl st to the corresponding end on the back.
- Repeat for all straps.
