Base Band Pattern:
- Start with a chain of 51 (for the height of the top under your chest; adjust the number of chains if needed).

- Continue across the row with single crochets through the back loop only.
More Complex Version (for a Neat Ribbed Look):
- Insert the hook into the second loop by two strands to complete a single crochet.
- Then, insert the hook into the loop under the braid and make a single crochet in this loop.
- Crochet more freely, not too tight, and continue until the end of the row.
- At the end, chain one and turn your work.
Continue the pattern above for about 87 rows or until the part of the top with tension is equal to your chest circumference.
Joining Base Band Edges:
- Join the edges by inserting the hook into the very first loop and pull the loop from the other side, then make a single crochet.
- Continue across joining edges with single crochets.
- At the end, chain one and cut the yarn.
Crocheting Upper Part of the Top:
- Crochet in two threads for the upper part by pulling one yarn end from the center of the skein and one from the outside.
- Attach yarn near the seam with a single crochet and increase in each stitch around (two single crochets in each stitch).
- Connect the row with a slip stitch. Chain one and turn your work.
- Skip one stitch and make two single crochets in one stitch, then continue around. Connect with a slip stitch.
- Turn your work and repeat the increase pattern from step 4 for 21 rows.
Straps:
- Leave a tail, chain two, then make two single crochets in one stitch.
- Chain one, turn, and increase in the second loop from the hook.

- Attach straps to the top.
Cinching the Top:
- Mark the middle of the top where cinching is desired.
- Thread the yarn through the stitches and pull tight to cinch. Secure with knots and hide ends.
Ruffles Between Straps:
- Insert the hook from the wrong side near the strap and make a slip stitch in each stitch across towards the other strap.
- Turn work, chain two, and create double crochet stitches in the slip stitch row by inserting the hook into the slip stitches.
- Alternate slip stitch, single crochet, and three double crochets in one stitch across.
- Finish off and weave in loose ends.
Final Touches:
