Cut Out Halter Top

This pattern can also be purchased on my Etsy linked here.

Notes

This is a one size top, but do not fret,  I will tell you along the way how you can adjust the pattern in order to fit your body better.

In the materials I have listed approx. how much yarn I used to make this top for me, but you may end up using less or more yarn.  Also, you do not have to use this specific yarn, but I would recommend you choose a weight 4 yarn.

Materials

• 4.5 mm crochet hook
• Made with Love the cottony one yarn, approx. 1.5 skein/278 yards (I used the shade Silver Medal)
• Stitch Markers
• Scissors
• Yarn needle
• Sew-on Snaps (2 sets) - These are the snaps that I used, I got them from Michael's
• Needle and thread

Stitches

ch - chain

sc - single crochet

scblo - single crochet in the back loop only

sc2tog - single crochet 2 stitches together

hdc - half double crochet

2hdc - 2 half double crochets into the same stitch (an increase)

hdc2tog - half double crochet 2 stitches together (a decrease)

Neckline

Row 1: Ch 5, sc in the 2nd chain from your hook and the remaining 3 chain spaces (4).

Row 2: Ch 1 and turn, scblo in each and every space (4).

Repeat row 2 until you have completed row 46.  (Or until it fits comfortably around your neck, stretching it a little is okay, I would recommend not making it too loose).  Ch 1, pull up, and cut.

Crazy Wavy Tote Bag

This pattern can be purchased on my Etsy linked here.

Pattern Notes

The bottom of this tote bag is worked flat in rows back and forth.  After the bottom of the bag is worked, the pattern is worked in joined rounds without turning.

Gauge is not important for this project.

You can do the color changes any way that you like, but I hid all of my color changes on the inside of the bag and kept both color A and color B attached for the whole body of the bag.  

There is a chain up of 4 to start every other row during the side section of the bag. To make the next color of yarn ready to pick up, I flipped it over before each chain making sure that after I did the fourth chain the yarn would end on the inside of the bag, the video demonstrates this color change.

Color changes on the
inside of the bag

This tote bag pattern is split up into 3 different sections: the bottom of the tote bag, the sides of the tote bag, and the handles.
