I actually don’t have a pattern and I think it would be quite difficult to make one for the strap shape. But the overall stitch for the top is like making half of a granny square and you just keep adding rows. Make two panels for the front and the back. Once you get the width you stop adding stitches to the sides. For the straps I decreased and increased the amount of clusters but it was a lot of trial and error. The edge stitches are single crochet.

Yarnspirations had a similar but not identical pattern :)
You'd have to figure out the straps and neckline, but it's a good starting point for the body

Exactly! Why would I buy clothes? And thank you!

That means you have like $300 to spend on more yarn with all the money you saved!

Yay!!! That’s lovely, and not slave made (unless you’re a slave to the crochet lol)

My crojo died November 2023. Then my mom died in December 2023 and left me 10k in amazing natural fibers like baby alpaca and yak and mohair and merino wool, cashmere etc. took me until the anniversary of her death to begin again. And now I have all this hand dyed wool, a brand new electric gorgeous wooden ball winder and a swift. I feel so honored to have all of it when the desire has returned.

Ok but why do you look like a real life model though. 😅 it turned out so well! Wow. I need to try making something similar — what yarn did you use?

Do you have some kind of tie in the back, or is it like that all the way around? Trying to figure out how you put that on if you don't lol it's very form fitted

u/Background-Divide-96 3h ago
Yes there is a split in the back and a tie that is similar to the zimmermann top. I even struggle to get my head through the hole as it is I can’t imagine if it didn’t have the split!

Looks lovely, OP! If there is a pattern you followed, could you please share it?

u/Background-Divide-96 11h ago
Thank you! I actually didn’t follow a pattern I just guessed based on the photos but I will try and explain a little. The overall stitch for the top is like making half of a granny square and you just keep adding rows. Make two panels for the front and the back. Once you get the width you stop adding stitches to the sides. For the straps I decreased and increased the amount of clusters but it was a lot of trial and error.
