Assembling The Top:

Lay out your eight completed squares according to the top's design.
Fold them to shape the top, lining up the squares as per instructions for the front and back.
Using slip stitches, start sewing the squares together on the sides and shoulders.
For the edges along the top and bottom of the garment, add a row of SCs around for finishing.
Create and add fringe (optional) at the bottom by cutting yarn to length and attaching evenly across the edge.
Create straps by chaining to your preferred length, attach from front to back, and secure with SS; adjust the number of chains to ensure it fits you comfortably.
