Step 1: Creating the First Granny Square

1. Start: Make a slip knot and chain 7.
2. Form the Ring: Slip stitch into the first chain to create a magic ring.

1. First Row of Granny Square:
   • Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
   • Add 3 double crochets, creating a total of 4 double crochets.
   • Chain 3 for the first corner.
   • Repeat the process of 4 double crochets and chain 3 to create three more corners.
   • Slip stitch into the top of the initial chain 3 to join the round.
2. Second Row of Granny Square:
   • Chain 3 again (starting the row and counting as a double crochet).
   • Create clusters of 4 double crochets together, and chain 4 between them.
   • At each corner, work 1 triple crochet, chain 6, and another triple crochet to make the corner design.
   • Continue the process for all corners and join the round by slip stitching into the starting chain 3. Fasten off.

Result: You now have your first granny square.

Step 2: Connecting the Second Granny Square

1. Create the Second Granny Square:
   • Follow the same steps as above for the first row.
   • In the second row, begin connecting the second granny square to the first.
2. Connecting Process:
   • At each corner that needs connecting, replace chain 6 with chain 3, insert into the corner of the first granny square (using a single crochet), and chain 3 to return to the working square.
   • Chain 2 to connect the edges of the squares where required (instead of chain 4) and insert into the corresponding spaces of the first granny square using single crochet.
   • Continue the second row’s pattern, connecting both squares at one side during the process.

Step 3: Adding the Third Granny Square

1. Repeat: Create the first row of the third granny square as per previous steps.
2. Connecting Two Sides:
   • The third granny square is connected to both of the existing squares to form a triangular pattern.
   • Use the same method: chain 3 for corners, insert into the corresponding corner with single crochet, chain 3 to finish the corner.
   • Connect edges with chain 2 and single crochet in between the squares to ensure the proper alignment.

Step 4: Creating the Neck Strap

1. Switch to a 4mm Hook: For creating stronger and thicker straps.
2. Make a Long Chain: Chain approximately 100 stitches (or adjust based on your preferred strap length).
3. Single Crochet Back: To reinforce the strap and create a neat edging, single crochet across the chain, working into the back loops.
4. Attach the Strap: Connect the strap to the top of the triangle, ensuring symmetry on both sides.

Step 5: Adding the Bottom Cord Strap

1. Create a Long Chain: Construct a chain cord long enough to go around your back.
2. Optional Reinforcement: Single crochet back along the chain for added durability.
3. Insert the Cord:
   • Use the cord to weave through the bottom part of the granny squares.
   • Insert in and out through the spaces at the base of the triangles.
4. Final Adjustment: Tie the cord securely at the back, leaving enough extra space for adjustment or styling.

Step 6: Final Touch and Fitting

• Mannequin Display (Optional): Place the bikini top on a mannequin for styling and checking proper fit.
• Finishing Matching Pieces: Optionally, create matching bikini bottoms using similar techniques described.
