Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 120 chains. Ensure that your chain is not twisted. Once completed, join the last chain to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a circle.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then double crochet (dc) in each chain around. After completing the round, join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain-3.
3. Rounds 2-10: For each of these rounds, chain 3 to begin, then double crochet in each double crochet around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3 at the end of each round.
4. Round 11: Chain 3 to start, then work as follows: *double crochet in the next 3 double crochets, chain 1, skip the next double crochet; repeat from * around. Finish the round by joining with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3.
5. Rounds 12-15: Repeat the instructions from Round 11 for these rounds. This will create a lovely openwork pattern that resembles gentle ocean waves.
6. Round 16: Chain 3 to begin, then double crochet in each double crochet and chain-1 space around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3.
7. Rounds 17-20: Chain 3 to start each round, then double crochet in each double crochet around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3 at the end of each round.
8. Finishing: Once you have completed Round 20, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
9. Straps: To create the straps, attach your yarn to the top edge of the beach top. Chain 50, then slip stitch to the opposite side to form the first strap. Repeat this process for the second strap on the other side.
