I have designed this easy striped crochet bikini halter top pattern with basic crochet stitches using US terminology of chains, single crochet and half double crochets so it is not complicated but still has an overall affect of looking fabulous. For UK crocheters there is a stitch conversion for you. I have also included a handy tutorial on working with stripes and changing colours for a neater finish. This gorgeous original handmade design crochet cotton halter bralette top will look great on the beach, at your next festival or just a top you can throw on and wear every day.

The pattern has instructions for 3 basic ladies sizes of small (size: 6-8) with an approximate cup size of A-B, medium (size: 10-12) with an approximate cup size of C-D and large (size: 14-16) with an approximate cup size of D-DD. There is some flexibility with these sizes as the top will stretch and move with you. To see the sizing measurements, please refer to the image gallery above. The straps tie and will fit any size.

I have made this halter bikini top in a soft 10 ply cotton yarn.
