negative ease for a fitted look, or crochet to your exact measurements for a little room.

Front Triangles
Begin with a magic ring, ch3, dc2, ch1, dc3. Turn, ch3, dc2 in first st, ch1, [dc3, ch2,
dc3] in ch1 sp from previous row, ch1, dc3 in last st. Turn and repeat this stitch pattern
until your triangle half your bust measurement when you measure from the center
cluster across to any right angle side. Make 2.
Back Square
Make a granny square for your back. Begin with a magic ring, ch3, dc2, ch1, dc3, ch1,
dc3, ch1, dc3, ch1, slst to beg ch3. Next round, ch4, [dc3, ch2, dc3] in next ch1 space,
ch1. Repeat around for 4 corners, last corner will be [dc3, ch1, dc2, slst in beg ch3].
Repeat pattern, doing {dc3, ch1] in ch1 spaces, and [dc3, ch2, dc3] in corners. Match
your granny square width to the width of your front two triangles, when you put them
together to make a square.
Attaching Front to Back
Seam your top points of your triangles to your back square. Start seam at mutual
corners, then bring one or two clusters from the triangle up to create a wider shoulder
seam. In other words, a few of the clusters along the diagonal side of the triangle will
need to be seamed to the back square.
Create your side seams, attaching back square to two triangles along right angle sides.
Diagonal line should be creating your neckline and right angles should be creating the
bottom and side seams.
Neckline
Sc two rows along two triangle diagonal edges and the top of the back. You may want to
decrease a few stitches where the triangles and back meet to make a narrower neck
opening and keep the top from slipping off your shoulders. Fasten off.
Ties & Hem
Create your ties by chaining the length you want. I chained 100 for a 35” waist. Sk the
first ch and slst down your chain. Slst into the first st of the bottom of your top, starting
at one triangle point. Ch1, sc across, ch 100, turn, sk first ch, slst down, sc across the
bottom. Slst to your ch to make it look seamless. Fasten off.

Sleeves
Attach your yarn in the armhole seam and repeat the granny cluster st pattern until you
reach half your bicep. For the next row, increase twice, evenly around the sleeve with a
[dc, ch1, dc] in the ch sp. Next row is regular st, no increases. Repeat the 2 inc row,
alternating with a reg row until you get the length you want. Finish each sleeve with two
rows of sc.
Weave in your ends (if you want) and you are done!
