(Worked bottom up, alternating 2 rows of      dc, 2 rows of moss stitch.)

1. (Black color) 

   Work a foundation chain   that wraps around the 

   chest, at  the largest part. Slip stitch to join 

   being careful not to twist the chain. (As the 

    stitches will stretch, the foundation chain should fit 

      snugly around the chest, not loosely so pull to achieve 

     a slightly tight fit.)

 

2. (Black color) Chain 2, double crochet in each stitch around, 

    slip stitch to join in the top of the chain 2.

 

3. (Black) Chain 2, *front post double crochet in the next 

    stitch, double crochet in the next stitch,

repeat from * around, ending with a front post dc, slip stitch 

to join in the top of the chain 2.

4. Change color.  Chain 2, *skip the next stitch, single crochet 

     in the next stitch, chain 1, repeat from * around, 

     slip stitch  to  join in the 1st stitch 

     of the chain 2.

 

5. Chain 2, *single crochet in the next chain 1 space, chain 1,

   repeat from * around, slip stitch to join in the 1^st stitch of the 

   chain 2.

 

6.  Repeat steps 2, 3, 4, and 5 until the halter is the height 

     desired.  Fasten off.

 

NECK CORD:  Work a foundation chain that is between 4 and 

               5 feet (depending on the size being 

           made).

               Double crochet in the 4^th stitch from the hook and 

               each stitch of the chain, fasten off.

               If desired, attach beads in the ends of the cord.

 

 

 

Pass 1/2 inch elastic through the bottom row of the halter top and sew to close. (Usually 1 - 2 inches smaller than the actual halter top is correct.) and sew the 2 ends together. (Optional: pass elastic through the top row also for a snug fit.)

OR  

work a chain cord and pass through the bottom of the halter top, tie to fit.

 

 

Tie the neck cord around the center front to gather and form 2 front cups, and tie around the neck.
