Materials

Materials Needed:
Yarn (51% acrylic, 49% cotton, 50 g skeins) – approximately 1.5 skeins
3.0 mm crochet hook (though the yarn recommends 3.5 mm, the creator goes one size smaller)
Tape measure
Scissors

from wollidu uh it is 50 50 g and I used about 1 and a half skeins so it’s 51% acrylic and 49 uh cotton okay so I used one and a half skeins for this size it’s size extra small, it recommends a 3.5 mm hook but I will be going a size smaller that is a 3.0 mm hook you can use any other yarn that is available to you so yeah you also need a tape measure and scissors and yeah so let’s begin we’ll be taking some measurements so how we’re going to work this top is like I said it’s two panels and

this is the V stitch that we are using so we’ll work one panel first and work the other panel join them together and then add these straps you can make this bigger by just adding a few more rows I just wanted it thin but you can make this bigger on the side so let’s start, so one of the panels. This is how we’re going to work we’ll work from the bottom going our way up so you’ll take your bust measurements and Subtract 2 inches from those bust measurements and then divide

that by two so for my bust measurements is 32 inches if I take away 2 inches that’s 30 and if I divide that by 2 that is is 15 inches so I’m going to make a foundation chain that is equivalent to 15 in and we will be working a multiple of three okay a multiple of three so that means 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 okay so as you can see I have my 15 inches alright so it can be a little bit more bit you know it doesn’t matter so I have my 15 in and we’re now going to start on Row one so so you are going

to skip three chains one 2 3 and into the fourth chain you will work a double crochet so skip three and into the fourth chain work a double crochet so for the V stitch we’ll be working two double crochets in one stitch separated by one chain so you’re going to chain one and in that very same Stitch you’re going to make your second double double crochet to make our V stitch all right like this so it’s double crochet chain one double crochet and now for our second V so this chain

three counts as a stitch and then we start on the V stitches so you’re going to yarn over you’re going to skip two stitches and into your third Stitch you’re going to make your second V which means you will make a double crochet then chain one and in that very same Stitch you’re going to make an another double crochet so that is our V right and then you’re going to skip two chains and into the third one you’re going to make your another V so you’ll make a double crochet chain

one double crochet in that very same Stitch so basically this is going to be the pattern until you are getting to the end and I will meet you once you coming to the end of this row so I’m coming to the end and this is how it looks like so far so I’m going to make my last V stitch so I’ll skip two and into to the third one make my V stitch I’m confused here because I didn’t count my stitches well and I have a stitch missing a chain missing anyway that will not stop me so

I’ll make this last V stitch chain one and then you should be having uh three stitches left but I only have two because I didn’t count well and now I’m just going to skip one but if you had a multiple of three then you should be able to skip two stitches and work a double crochet as your last Stitch okay work a double crochet as your last Stitch one stitch will not really change the how my top looks like Okay so this double crochet at the beginning matches the double crochet at the end so you’re going to chain three turn your work and we are going to

be repeating row two it’s a repeat of one row so we are going to go straight into this V this chain space right here that’s where we’ll be working so you’ll go in there and make a v so that means you make a double crochet chain one and into that same chain space make another double crochet then go straight to the next chain space make a double crochet chain one make a double crochet and you are going to be working in every chain space okay so I go in between here and make a
