Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Chain 70 (or desired width). This will be the base of your crop top.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, dc in each chain across. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), then *chain 1, skip the next dc, and dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3, then dc in the first chain-1 space. Next, *chain 1, dc in the next chain-1 space; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows 2-3: Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until your piece measures 12 inches from the foundation chain. This will create the body of the crop top.
6. Change Color: Switch to your white yarn. This will give your crop top a beautiful contrast.
7. Lace Row: Chain 3, then *skip 1 dc, and in the next dc, make (dc, chain 2, dc); repeat from * across the row. This creates the lace effect.
8. Straps: For each strap, chain 40. Attach the straps to the top edges of the crop top by slip stitching or sewing them securely.
9. Finishing: Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle. To shape your crop top, block it by gently stretching it to the desired dimensions and pinning it down to dry.
10. Optional: For a decorative touch, add a border around the bottom edge of the crop top using single crochet stitches.
