This is a very easy pattern knitted from the bottom up in a lovely wave lace pattern! This is a scrap busting pattern- there are many yarn options in the pattern!

This top is super customisable in terms of length, straps, colour and yarn!

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

Materials needed
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 double pointed needles incase you would prefer to use these for the icord (I used my circular needles for the entire project)
5.5mm crochet hook if you decide to make a crochet chain for the straps
Some test knitters found that to get the gauge they needed 6mm needles Please check the gauge and change your needles if necessary
BOR stitch marker
2 Stitch Markers for strap placement
Stitch holder or scrap yarn to hold stitches if you decide to hold stitches for the I-cord straps
Darning needle to weave in the ends and to sew on your straps
