What’s up DIY-ers! It’s Val! This time I ventured into a different DIY, from my usual, a must have of this summer are the halter top, and I love them. Flipping through a fashion magazine I saw a halter  top and want it but  it was impossible for me to find it in stores so I decided to do it myself.  Ok  hand to the work and begin the tutorial. what we need: yarn, hook, scissors.
Step 1. Hold crochet hook in the right hand and make a slip knot on hook.
Step2. Bring yarn over hook from back to front with hook and grab it.
Step3. Draw hooked yarn through slip knot and onto hook. This makes one chain stitch long enough to go to one side of the thoracic cage to another.
Step4. Skip the first chain stitch. Insert hook into center of next chain stitch. Draw yarn through the chain stitch and up onto the hook. There are now 2 loops on hook.
Step5. Bring yarn over hook from back to front, and draw it through Both loops on hook. And loop remains on the hook, and you have just made one single crochet stitch.
Step6. At the end of the row, make one chain stitch, then turn the work counterclockwise, leaving the hook in the chain. And begin to make as muche row as you need to cover  the bra area
now i will do the halter shape, start to do a single crochet at the first stitch then skip the second stitch and single crochet at the third stitch, this make the top pulling inward assuming a triangular shape. when you reach the end you'll do knot chain one, flip it over  and continue to do this for some rows as you need, I did five row.
start to make this cool design :  at  the first stitch I did a single crochet  and then I did double crochet which is :
Step1. Yarn over and pull through chain. You should have 3 loops on hook.
Step2. Yarn over and pull through 2 loops on the hook.
Step3. Yarn over again and pull through remaining 2 loops. One double crochet has been made.
Then chain one stitch and skip a stitch to do a double crochet so we have a space between the double crochet. At the end I did a single crochet and flipped over and did a chain and start again with a double crochet . and single crochet at the last stitch chain one flipped it over and I created a loop of four chains then single crochet on the  top of the double.
And after I finished the row of loops on the top of them I did the basically the same pattern except of the row with double crochet where i did two double stitches instead of one . once the  top is finished we have to make the straps so make 50-60 chains and go back to make a slip stitch and when i finish the strap what I do is to make a single crochet on  my way  along the top and create the four strapes . at the very least  bring the straps across over and make an x shape. to complete the halter top I cut the threads of yarn of the length my fringes want to be and i knot each thread with one another to create this pattern that gives the halter top a bohemian look.   Finally we have this amazing halter top that you can match them with every piece of clothing, I simply paired with a pair of shorts and a pair of sandals. thanks for watching! you are awesome if you reached the end of this long tutorial!
