Boho Crochet Halter Top
Materials:
- Yarn: 100% cotton, Sport weight (approx. 300-400 yards)
- Hook: Size H (5.0 mm)
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Gauge:
12 double crochets = 4 inches in double crochet. To measure gauge, make a swatch of 10 double crochets and 5 rows, measuring both width and height. This will help ensure your top fits well.
Abbreviations:
- ch = chain
- dc = double crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
- st = stitch
Pattern Instructions:
1. Start by making a foundation chain of 50 ch.
2. Row 1: In the 4th ch from the hook, work 1 dc. Work 1 dc in each ch across. (You will have 48 dc.) Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Ch 3 (this counts as your first dc), and in the same st, make 1 dc. *Ch 1, skip the next st, 2 dc in the next st.* Repeat from * to * across the row. End with a ch 1, and sl st into the top of the ch 3. (You should have 24 shell stitches.) Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Ch 3, then in the same st, work 1 dc. *Ch 1, skip the first dc of the next shell, and work 2 dc in the next space.* Repeat across, ending with a ch 1 and sl st into the top of the ch 3. (You will have 24 shell stitches again.) Turn your work.
5. Row 4-10: Repeat Row 3 six more times, maintaining the shell stitch pattern. (Your piece should be about 14 inches long.)
6. For the straps, chain 70 for each side, securing both ends with a slip stitch to the top corners of the top.
7. To finish, weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle. If desired, block your piece lightly to help the lace pattern open up beautifully.
Optional Variations:
- Add fringe to the bottom if you want a more bohemian look.
- Experiment with different yarn colors for a unique style.
