Step-by-Step Pattern
1. Starting the Center Loop
- Ch 4, then sl st into the 1st ch to form a small ring.
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), then work 15 more dc into the ring. (Total 16 dc)
2. Closing the Round
- Sl st to the top of the initial 3 chains to close the round.
3. Second Round – Chain Spaces and Double Crochet with Separation
- Chain 3 (counts as 1 dc), ch 2, skip no stitches.
- In each dc of the previous round, work 1 dc, separated by ch 2 chains.
- Total of 16 double crochet stitches separated by 2 chains each.
- Close round with sl st to the initial chain 3.
4. Creating the Side Chain for Top Width
- Chain 7 (for XS; for size S chain 9, M 10-11, L 12 – adjust these for fit).
- On the 3rd chain from hook, work 1 dc, then 1 dc on the next chain.
- Continue working dc stitches across this side chain.
5. Continue Rounds – Double Crochet Petal Pattern
- Work rounds of dc over previous stitches, chaining between sets for separation as needed.
- In corners / chain spaces, work 3 dc clusters, separated by chains as per pattern.
- Maintain consistent stitch counts for shape.
6. Petal Detail
- On some rounds, work groups of 3 dc, chain 1, then 3 dc in same space, creating petal shapes.
- Follow the pattern so petals line up around the circle.
7. Transition to Treble and Double Treble Crochets
- Use treble crochet (tr) stitches in specific places to add texture and height.
- For size adjustment, replace some treble crochets with double treble crochet (dtr) for larger sizes.
- Double treble: yarn over twice, insert hook, yarn over, pull through loops (3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through first two loops, repeat until one loop remains.
8. Attaching Acrylic Ring
- After completing desired rounds/petal shaping, slip stitch around the acrylic ring to encircle it fully.
- Use single crochet stitches to firmly attach the ring to the crochet work.
- Ensure ring is centered where desired (usually center front).
- Leave tails of yarn for sewing.
9. Sewing the Ring
- Use needle and yarn to sew the ring securely along the attached edges.
- Sew through crochet stitches and ring alternately.
- Make sure the ring sits flat and secure.
10. Making the Straps
- For the neck strap: chain 45 cm length with double strands.
- Work dc stitches along the chain for thickness (optionally bubble stitch for texture).
- Knot and secure ends.
- For the waist strap: chain 60 cm, work similarly.
- Attach straps to top with secure knots or crochet stitches at ends.
11. Adding Lining
- Cut lining fabric circles matching the front cup size.
- Pin lining on inside of top.
- Sew carefully using strong thread (kite string or invisible nylon).
- Use small stitches for a neat finish.
- Leave edges rounded and smooth for comfort.
12. Final Finishing
- Weave in all yarn ends.
- Use lighter to carefully burn edges of cut polyester yarn to prevent unraveling.
- Block the top gently for final shape.
