Abbreviations

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so just choose your best technique.

Special stitches used: 

2dc – V stitch: ( 2dc, ch1, 2dc ) into same stitch or space.

This crochet Simple Halter Top pattern fits size L ( chest size: 36 to 38 inches ).

Skill level: Easy

Gauge: 9 double crochet stitches x 5 rows = approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
