Granny Square Halter Top Free Pattern

There are a lot of tutorials and instructions on how to crochet granny squares on the Internet. But in this tutorial I will show you how you can crochet a beautiful top using this simple pattern. So, let’s begin!

For this project you’ll need some cotton, acrylic or mixed yarn (around 100 grams). It is a great project for using up leftover yarn. 

Size: model is wearing size S, but you can easily adapt the top to your size, just make more rows

Crochet Hook: 3,5 mm (E)

Instructions

Make a magic ring.

Round 1: ch-2 (counts as 1 dc), 2 dc in the ring, ch-2, * 3 dc in the ring, ch-2 **, repeat from * to ** 2 times, join witch sl st to top of ch-2

Round 2: sl st in the first 2 dc’s and in the first ch-2 space, ch-2, 2 dc in ch-2 space, ch- 2, 3 dc in same space, * ch-1, 3 dc in next ch-2 space, ch-2, 3 dc in same space **, repeat from * to ** 3 times, ch-1, join with slst to top of ch-2.

Round 3: sl st in the first 2 dc’s and in the first ch-2 space, ch-3, 2 dc in same space, ch-2, 3 dc in same space, ch-1, 3 dc in next ch-1 space, ch-1, * 3 dc in next ch-2 space, ch-2, 3 dc in same space ch-1, 3 dc in next ch-1 space, ch-1 **, join with sl st to top of ch-2.

Repeat round 3 as many times as you need but work * ch-1, 3 dc, ch-1 * in each ch-1 space.

Sides

Decrease the side width until you reach 6 dc’s with ch-1 between. Than work 1 dc in each dc and ch-1 space (7 dc). Make as many rows as you need. Ties = 7 dc X 27 rows

    I love this top, but I’m a bit confused about the sides. Are you cutting the yarn at the end of each decrease row or are you turning your work somehow? Thank you!

      Thank you :) No, I didn’t cut the yarn at the end of each row. You should crochet ch-1 at the end of the row, turn the work, 1 sl st in the first 3 dc to the 1st space, crochet 3 dc in this space and in each space to the end of the row, after that ch-1,turn, and again sl sl in next 3 dc… Hope it will help :)
