Step-by-Step Pattern

Foundation and Measuring Chain

Create a foundation chain: Chain until you reach the desired width minus 2-3 cm for edge finishing.
- Example: For size XS with waist circumference 82 cm, chain up to approx. 80 cm (e.g., 187 chains).
- Ensure your chain count is an odd number for proper star stitch pattern. If it ends even, add or subtract one chain.

Round 1: First Star Stitch Set

Turn and chain 3 (counts as first stitch).
Skip the first chain, then insert hook through the next 5 chains, yarn over and pull through all 6 loops on hook to create the star stitch “star cluster”.
Chain 1 to close the star.
Move to the “X-space” formed by the previous star, and repeat star stitch along the foundation chain: insert hook at “X-space”, pull up loop, insert through vertical chain, pull up loop, then through next 3 chains, pull loops, yarn over and pull through all 6 loops. Chain 1 to close star.
Save
Repeat this process across foundation chain. Always finish the star with a chain 1.

Round 2: Half Double Crochet on Spaces

Chain 2 and turn.
Work 2 half double crochets (hdc) in each chain space formed in Round 1. This creates the second layer of the star stitch.
Continue this all around the row.
Close with slip stitch in starting stitch.
Save

Round 3: Repeat Round 1 Style

Chain 3 and turn.
Work star stitch again as done in Round 1 – between the hdc groups created in Round 2.

Save

Round 4: Repeat Round 2 Style

Work 2 hdc stitches in each star “space” from Round 3.

Example: Stop at a length of approximately 18 cm for size XS.
Save

Armhole and Neck Strap Formation

Mark the armhole and neck strap positions according to your measurements (e.g., divide waist circumference by 4 for front-bottom parts approximately 20 cm).
Work the armhole shaping by decreasing stitches at each side in the neck strap area:
- On decrease rounds, work 1 hdc in the first space, then continue with 2 hdc in following spaces until second last space, and work 1 hdc in last space.
Continue alternating star stitch rounds and decrease rows for shaping until neck strap reaches desired width (e.g., 5-6 cm).
Save
Once neck strap size is achieved, continue working straight with star stitch pattern for strap length (e.g., 28-30 cm).
Save

Joining Straps

When both sides/straps are complete, position them facing inward, and sew or single crochet along the edges to join straps securely.
Ensure equal counts on both sides for even joining.

Save

Finishing the Edges

Work single crochet stitches around the edges of the entire top—including bottom, armholes, and neckline—to create a neat finishing edge.
For corners or curves, increase stitches as needed to maintain smoothness.
Save

Adjustable Tie Strap

Create a long chain (e.g., 50 cm), then back crochet to form a sturdy adjustable tie strap.
Sew or thread the strap through the designated spaces on the neckline opening, crossing the cords as desired.
Adjust and tie the bow in front as preferred.

Decorative Flower (Optional)

Make a magic circle and chain 4.
Work cluster petals by doing multiple double crochet loops into the center of the circle alternating with chains.
Complete five petals to form the flower.
Sew or glue flower onto the top as an embellishment.
Save

Tutor’s Suggestions

Always chain an odd number at the start to maintain proper star stitch pattern.
Use stitch markers to mark key points such as armholes, strap ends, and decreases.
Take accurate measurements to customize the garment for your frame.
Work slowly when working star stitch for even tension and defined shapes.
Blocking your final garment helps star stitches open beautifully.
