Materials: ( I used )
3.5 mm crochet hook
Light weight/ DK yarn: White Khaki color ( about 100 gr for the sample – size L / 50 gr or 153 yds per skein )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so just choose your best technique.
Special stitches used:
5dc-shell stitch: 5 dc into the same stitch or space
This crochet Simple Halter Top (version 2) pattern fits size L ( chest size: 36 to 38 inches ).
