We will make this  one shoulder top from top to bottom.

Row12: make 1dc in the next chain from hook and across until the end of the row, ch2 turn.

Row 13 and beyond ,….Repeat row 12 and switch up color until  you get 19 inch long. or your desired length and fasten off.

And repeat the same for the back panel.

Assembly.

Lay 2 pieces in flatted on top of each other and sewing using your favorite method.

Now it time to try it on to see if it fit you.

If it a bit loose on this area, when we sc on the edge  for 1 round, then you will try it on  again if it not fit on round 2 of we will do sc decrease in some stitch.

Then sc around the edge for 3 round to make it pretty.

Now after we finished sc around the edge for 3 round then we will crochet in front loop only(flo) to create  ruffle base.

on round 1 of ruffle edge. we will start to make ruffle base for fancy lace stitch.

Round1. make ruffle base for fancy lace stitch  *1dc in next st , 3dc in the next st*  repeat this* to* until the end of the round. 

on round 2 we are going to make fancy lace stitch.

Round2. making fancy lace stitch by, skip the first stitch  and make 2dc,ch2,2dc all in the same of the next stitch , then* skip 3 and make 2dc, ch2,2dc all in next stitch*   repeat * to * across until end of the round ( don’t join round), then if you have 2 stitch left sk1 and make 1dc in last stitch. Or if you have 1 stitch left make dc in that st. ( don’t join round and continue to next round)

Row3. now you will make   * 2dc,ch2,2dc in the chain space of the previous row* repeat * to * across until end of the round.

Repeat round 3 until you get your desire length of ruffle edge. My length is about inches  3.5 inches deep of fancy lace stitch.

Fasten off.

Option.

Then add strap on the other side of the shoulder see video tutorial.

Is there supposed to be 9 dc in the 1st row? It says start in the 1st ch but wouldn't it be the 3rd chain since it's dc?

Hello Terushia, yes you right it will be 9 dc in the first row, And No it won't be the 3rd chain because depend on each designer would like it to be like for me I use to just the next chain from hook for dc but the other is 3rd chain from hook.
