Notes

This pattern includes a full video tutorial linked on the front page for steps that are easier to show than tell.

You will begin by crocheting the bust using the herringbone single crochet stitch, then join the ends to form a tube. Continue with the body in the diagonal leaf grid stitch. Finally, crochet and attach the straps.

The pattern includes instructions for customizing the tops length and strap length to suit your fit and style.

Each size has a link to the “Progress Tracker” for the waistband for easy to follow instructions.
