(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 1st 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 4th 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.
