Initial Section: Chest Part
- Start: Create a slip knot and chain 31.
- First Row: Execute single crochet on the back bumps of each stitch across.
Pattern Establishment:
- Chain 1, turn your work.
- Make one half double crochet (HDC) in the very first stitch.
- Skip the next stitch, then execute a single crochet and a double crochet into the following stitch.
- Repeat the skipping and stitch pattern (one single crochet + one double crochet in the next stitch) across the row.
- When two stitches remain, make one half double crochet in the last stitch.
Continue the Pattern: Repeat the established pattern, starting and ending each row with a half double crochet, to create texture. Build up rows until the piece wraps around your chest comfortably.
Adding Rows on Both Sides
Side Extension:
- Chain 1, turn.
- Execute single crochet in each stitch across for one row.
- In the next row, use back loops only for single crochet stitches. This prepares for adding details later.
Adding Details:
- Chain 2, turn.
- Start with a double crochet in the very first stitch.
- Skip two stitches, then make three double crochets in the third stitch.
- Continue this pattern across the row.
- Make one double crochet in the last stitch, chain 1, turn, and slip stitch in every stitch across. Cut and tie off the yarn.
Repeat: Follow the same steps on the other side of the piece.
Creating the Bottom Ruffled Part
Initial Ruffle Setup:
- Attach yarn and make one single crochet in every row across the bottom edge.
- When reaching the other side, continue with single crochet stitches, using back loops only.
Increasing for Ruffles:
- Chain 2 and do a slip stitch in the first stitch to start a new round.
- For each round, alternate between one double crochet in one stitch and two double crochets in the next, increasing the volume for ruffles.
Ruffle Rounds:
- In subsequent rounds, adjust the pattern by chaining and skipping stitches as described, increasing in chain spaces to create the ruffled effect.
Final Rounds:
- Continue with rounds that adjust the number of double crochets and chain spaces as outlined, maintaining the ruffled texture without further increases.
Finishing Touches
Additional Detailing with Pink Yarn:
- Attach the pink yarn to add decorative edges and details using single crochet stitches along designated loops.
Straps:
- Determine strap placements by trying on the top. Attach pink yarn and chain to desired strap length, then create a slip stitch in each chain for the straps. Secure and hide yarn ends.
Closure:
- Fasten off all yarns neatly, trimming any excess.
