PATTERN AND SIZING NOTES

• This cute kid’s crochet halter top is made as two pieces (front and back panel) and seamed down the sides from where the increases stop – then ties are chained on to each of the 4 corners of the top and you can fasten them in a bow.
• The textured faux-bobble front is made by doing triple crochets followed by a TIGHT single crochet, which helps pull the triple crochet down to the height of the single crochet and pop it out like a bobble.
• Turning chains do NOT count as a stitch.
• Use the following Size Key (SK) indicated in parentheses in reference to the size you are crocheting: (SK: 2Y, 4Y, 6Y, 8Y, 10Y) – I suggest taking a highlighter to mark the appropriate sizing references for the size you’re crocheting, to make it easier to follow the pattern
• Stitch count for each round will be indicated in parentheses ( ) at the end of the row CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS:
• The faux-bobble only appears on the front panel and the back panel is simply single crochet, but you could make 2 of the front panels and have texture on the back of the top as well
• You can add to the length simply by adding additional rows after the increases stop – you could even keep going to knee length and turn this in to a cute halter dress!
