Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain that fits comfortably around your bust. Ensure that the number of chains is a multiple of 6. Once you have your chain, join it with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Now, *skip 2 chains, then in the next chain, work (double crochet, chain 2, double crochet). Skip the next 2 chains and make a double crochet in the following chain. Repeat from * around the ring. Once you reach the end, join with a slip stitch to the top of your beginning chain-3.
3. Round 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). In this round, *make a double crochet in the next double crochet from the previous round, then in the chain-2 space, work (double crochet, chain 2, double crochet). Finally, make a double crochet in the next double crochet. Repeat from * around and join with a slip stitch to the top of your beginning chain-3.
4. Continue Rounds: Repeat Round 2 until your piece measures your desired length from underarm to hem. This will give you the perfect fit and style for your crop top.
5. Creating the Straps: To make the straps, attach your yarn to the top edge of your crop top. Chain 50 (or your desired length for the straps) and then slip stitch to the opposite side of the top edge to form one strap. Repeat this process for the other side to create the second strap.
6. Finishing Touches: Once you have completed both straps, fasten off your yarn and weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your crop top a clean and polished look.
