Hello fellow unraveler, sorry to keep you guys waiting but as promised the video tutorial for this top is now up on my YouTube channel.
Have you tried to make the bikini bottom?
If yes then you won't have much problem making this top because the pattern is pretty much the same you only need to know how to do the increase and decrease.
This pattern actually is quite similar to the Quick & Easy Crochet Top, but instead of making the strap without breaking off the yarn, I made the strap separately after I've finished making the body.
I wanted to make this pattern as simple and easy as possible especially for beginners, but if you want to make the strap continuously without having to rejoin the yarn after you've finished the body, just follow the strap pattern from Quick & Easy Crochet Top.
