Materials Needed

• Yarn: Cotton DK yarn in soft pastels (suggested colors: pink, mint, and cream)
• Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 16 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in double crochet (dc)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring and chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Work 11 double crochets into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
2. Increase Round: Chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch, then work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You should now have 24 double crochets.
3. Continue Increasing: Chain 3, then work *1 double crochet in the next stitch, 2 double crochets in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * around and join. You should have 36 double crochets.
4. Further Increases: Continue this pattern of increasing until you have a total of 60 double crochets. This will create the yoke of the top.
5. Body of the Top: Chain 3 and double crochet in each stitch around for 10 rounds. This will form the body of the halter top.
6. Create Armholes: To create the armholes, skip 10 stitches on each side. Chain 10 over the skipped stitches to create the openings for the arms.
7. Finish the Body: Work 5 more rounds of double crochet for the body after creating the armholes.
8. Halter Ties: Attach your yarn to the top corners of the halter. Chain 40 for each tie. Make sure the ties are long enough for easy fastening.
9. Add Tassels: For a boho finish, add tassels to the ends of the ties and along the bottom edge of the top. To make a tassel, cut several strands of yarn, tie them together in the middle, and trim to your desired length.

Congratulations! You have now completed your very own Boho Blossom Toddler Halter Top. This charming piece is perfect for summer outings and will surely be a delightful addition to any toddler's wardrobe. Happy crocheting!
