This is a scrappy project, so please use whatever yarn you have in your stash!
You can knit this top up in either 2 strands of double knitting (DK) weight yarn held together OR you can use any other yarn that gets you the same gauge.

Tension:
Hold both strands together: In stocking stitch, with 5.5mm needles
10 stitches= 7cm/ 2.75 inches (width)
10 rows= 6cm/ 2.3 inches (length)

Materials:
Size 5.5mm circular needles with an 80cm cord - If you do not have this length you could use a shorter cord; or a longer (and use the magic loop method)
Please size up or down on the needles to get the correct gauge.
5.5mm/5mm double pointed needles incase you would prefer to use these for the straps
BOR stitch marker
Tape Measure
Stitch holder or scrap yarn to hold stitches for the straps
Darning needle to weave in the ends (if you can be bothered) and to sew on your straps
