Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Start the Base Chain

Make a slip knot.
Chain 4 stitches to form the starting point.
Yarn over, insert into the first chain of the 4 and make 1 double crochet (dc) stitch.

Step 2: Begin First Row

Chain 3 stitches, turn your work.
Yarn over, insert into the chain space you just created, then make 1 double crochet stitch.
Chain 3 stitches, turn the work.
Repeat this sequence: double crochet in space → chain 3 → turn work.
This creates a series of little loops along the strip.

Step 3: Complete Base Strap Length

For size M (medium), make 54 little loops total; adjust the number to fit your chest width by measuring yourself.
The strap should wrap from side to side, roughly the middle of your chest.
The fit should be snug but comfortable, not too tight or loose.

Step 4: Prepare to Build Rows

Once your initial strap is done, chain 3 stitches and turn your work.
Yarn over, return to the last loop; make 1 double crochet, chain 1, and make another double crochet in the same stitch.
Repeat across each loop: in each loop space, make 1 double crochet, chain 1, 1 double crochet.
This creates a V over V stitch pattern.

Step 5: Continue Building Rows

Repeat step 4 for about 20 to 22 rows, depending on desired length.
Turn the work at the end of each row and maintain the V over V stitch.
The top gradually becomes wider with this stitch pattern.

Step 6: Adding Fringes

Cut two 30 cm lengths of yarn for each fringe.
Fold the two strands in half.
Insert the fold into the spaces at the edges of the top (starting from the side opposite where you finished crocheting).
Pull the loose yarn ends through the folded loop to secure the fringe.
Place fringes in alternate spaces or every space according to your preference (the instructor suggests all spaces for a fuller look).
Trim fringes if needed for even length.

Step 7: Create the Drawstring Ribbon

Chain 4, join into a ring with a slip stitch.
Chain 3 stitches, turn the work.
Work rows of double crochet separated by chains 3 (similar to the base strap technique but narrower) to form a long ribbon.
Ribbon length: about 1.5 to 1.7 meters or adjusted to your preference or the size of the wearer.

Step 8: Thread the Ribbon

Fold the bandeau top widthwise.
Use a needle (or fingers) to thread the ribbon from bottom to top through the middle of the loops on both sides of the top.
Pull to gather the fabric in the center, creating a ruched look.
Tie the ends behind the neck or front as desired.

Step 9: Optional - Crochet Rose Embellishment

For extra decoration, attach a crochet rose on the front.
This is not included in this pattern but a tutorial is available on the Arte Handmade channel (link in description).
Attach the rose using a pin or by sewing.
The rose can be made with Barroco 4 yarn or amigurumi yarn, larger or smaller depending on choice.

Tips & Tutor’s Suggestions

Always measure the base strap on yourself as you crochet to ensure the perfect fit instead of relying on standard size charts.
Place fringes according to your style preferences—either every space or alternating spaces.
Use a needle to help thread the ribbon for ease, especially if the spaces are tight.
To secure fringes and ribbon ends, you may optionally apply fabric glue.
For a removable rose embellishment, use a pin instead of glue for adjustable styling.
Rewind and re-watch parts of the tutorial if stitches or placement are unclear. Close-up shots are available for better visualization.
Keep your stitches even and tension consistent for the best-looking top.
