Gauge: 4 single crochet stitches x 4 rows = 1 square inch
Let’s get start!
– I used Lion brand 24/7 cotton
– 3.50mm crochet hook or E/4 US hook size

Row31. Repeat row 30 but do not dec.
Fastern off or you can keep repeat row 30-31 until you got desired length and leave long tail to make a tie.
Now we are going to make the beautiful lace on the bottom of halter top.
By connecting yarn with one of the both end of the bottom halter then I start with chain1, skip 1 stitches and make double crochet in next stitch until the end of this row.
The Edge
Connecting the yarn and starting at the bottom part hand of your top, then I double crochet all the way up to the top to make the edging. And leave long tail for making the straps repeat the same process to other side.
For the tie.
Use long tail that we have before or connecting new one by chain away from the top until u get the desired length and fasten off. And we will make the tie in the middle by connecting yarn on each side of crop top then chain away from the crop top until you get the length of your desire and fasten off.
Here we have it your very own crochet halter top.
If you make one I would love to see your creation tag me on Instagram or Facebook!
Happy crocheting!
