Crochet Star Top

Materials Needed:

2 colors of cotton yarn, 4 ply
Around 100g of yarn, depending on the size
3.5 mm crochet hook
Scissors
Stitch markers (optional)

Magic Ring:

Create a magic ring by looping yarn around your fingers to form an X.
Go underneath the first piece of yarn, grab the second piece, and pull it through to make a loop on your hook.
Chain 3 (counts as one double crochet).

First Round:

Within the magic ring, do 14 double crochets.
Consider the initial chain of 3 as one double crochet, totaling 15 double crochets.
Close the magic ring by pulling the loose yarn end.

Connect the Round:

Connect by doing a slip stitch in the third chain from the start.

Creating the Star Shape (Second Round):

Chain 7 to form one of the star points.
Starting from the second chain from the hook, follow this sequence in the 6 chains:
1 single crochet in the next two chains,
1 half double crochet,
1 double crochet,
2 treble crochets in the last two chains.

Attach the Star Point:

Attach the point to the first round by skipping the first 2 stitches and slip stitching into the third stitch's back loop.

Repeat Creating Star Points:

Repeat the process for creating and attaching star points until you have 5 points in total.
Ensure each star point is uniformly created and securely attached to the magic ring base.

Third Round (Creating a Circle Shape):

Attach a new color yarn at one star point tip.
At each star point tip, do the following:
2 double crochets, chain 2, and 2 double crochets in the same space.
Along the sides between points, do double crochets in each stitch’s back loops only.
When reaching the dips between points, do 3 double crochet decrease over the 3 stitches (middle stitch of the dip and closest stitch on either side).

Subsequent Rounds:

Continue adding rounds, following the established pattern—increases at the tips of the points and decreases at the dips.
Change colors after every two rounds or as preferred.

Creating Straps:

Once your cropped top reaches the desired width, proceed to create straps starting from the sides of the last row.
Attach yarn at one side corner and crochet a chain long enough to tie around the back.
Repeat for the second strap on the other side.
For neck straps, create two more chains, attach each at the front two star points, and ensure they're long enough to tie behind the neck securely.
