This pattern is actually just a modification of my Easy & Quick Crochet Top, minus the ribbed effect and strap. I tweaked the design into a halter style and open back corset so you can easily adjust the pattern to fit you perfectly.

You can wear this pattern as a bikini top or make it longer to suit your style.

Weave in ends.

Insert the string in zig zag style.

And we’re done.

This top can be made with any kind of yarn and hook size you prefer. To get the perfect fit for your body, make as many rows you need to cover ¾ of your back and make sure it can stretch until it covers your whole back. The numbers of row must end in odd numbers.

Sorry my voice was groggy in this video because I recorded the audio at 2 am in the morning.
