Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions

Part 1: Ribbed Band Section

1. Foundation Chain:
   • Start with 51 chains, which will form the height of the ribbed band. (Adjust this number if needed).
2. Row 1:
   • Skip the chain closest to the hook and insert into the second chain.
   • Work single crochet (SC) into each chain across.
   • At the end of the row, chain 1 and turn your work.
3. Row 2 (Simple Version):
   • Crochet single crochet stitches into the back loop of each stitch across the row.
   • This creates a ribbed effect.
4. Row 2 (Difficult Version):
   • Insert the hook beneath two strands of the stitch and crochet single crochet normally.
   • Then find the loop under the braid (horizontal line) and crochet into that.
   • Crochet freely (not too tight) to allow flexibility.
5. Continue working rows using either version until you complete 87 rows (for size S/M). These rows should stretch to fit your chest circumference.
6. Joining Edges:
   • Align the two edges and join them using slip stitches. Insert the hook into loops on both edges, work single crochet stitches along the seam.

   • Repeat this until the end of the ribbed band.
3. Joining Row:
   • Use a slip stitch to join the row. Chain 1 and turn your work.
4. Subsequent Rows:
