Materials Needed

• Yarn: Cotton or cotton blend, worsted weight
• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm (H-8) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 inches = 16 double crochet stitches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Back Panel

1. Start by making a slip knot and chaining 56 (or your desired width).
2. Work in double crochet (dc) for 10 rows. Make sure to count your stitches to maintain evenness.

2. Decrease for V-neck

1. On the next row, dc 26, then turn your work.
2. Continue by dc back, leaving the last 4 stitches unworked. This will create the V-neck shape.
3. Repeat this process for 5 rows to further shape the V-neck. Ensure your decreases are consistent for a neat finish.

3. Front Panel

1. Repeat the back panel instructions, but this time work 12 rows in double crochet before starting the V-neck shaping.

4. Lace Pattern

1. For the lace bottom, chain 56.
2. Work in the following pattern:
• Row 1: *dc, ch 1, skip 1* across the row.
• Row 2: *dc in ch-1 space, ch 1* across the row.
3. Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until you reach your desired length for the lace section.

5. Assembly

1. Once all panels are complete, align the front and back panels together.
2. Using a slip stitch, attach the sides of the front and back panels. Make sure to keep your stitches even for a polished look.

6. Straps

1. Chain 30 for the straps.
2. Attach one end of the chain to the top of the front panel using a slip stitch.
3. Repeat the process for the back panel to create the second strap.

7. Finishing

1. To finish, single crochet (sc) around the bottom edge of the top for a clean finish.
2. Create a scalloped edge by working the following pattern: *sc, ch 2, skip 1* across the bottom edge.
