This is a versatile top I made some time ago. And now I manage to put the pattern here. You can style this bralette with high-waist jeans, pair it under a sheer top, or a blazer.
Materials: ( I used )
3.5 mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: cream color ( about 70 gr for the sample – size L / 100 gr or 185 yds per skein )
Yarn needle
Scissors
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:
5dc-shell stitch: ( 5dc into same stitch or space )
This crochet sexy halter top pattern fits size L ( chest size: 36 to 38 inches )
Skill level: Intermediate
Gauge: 12 double crochet stitches x 6 rows = approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
