Make a magic ring. Ch 3 (counts as tr), work 15 tr into ring. Join to beginning ch-3 (16 tr total).

Ch 5, skip 1 stitch and dc in next. Repeat ch 4, skip 1, dc in next around to form 8 chain loops. Finish with ch 2 and tr to position hook.

In each ch-4 loop work (dc, 2 tr, 3 dtr, 2 tr, dc). Repeat 8 times; join.

Working behind the petals, dc between petals and ch 5 around, forming 8 loops.

In each ch-5 loop work (dc, ch 3, 3 tr, ch 3, dc). Join.

Form 4 evenly spaced corners with (ch 4, 3 dtr, ch 3, 3 dtr, ch 4), connecting with dc and ch-4 spaces between. Check all sides match.

Work tr groups and ch spaces around, with (3 tr, ch 3, 3 tr) at each corner. Keep all four sides identical.

Work dc around, with 2 dc in each chain space and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) at corners.

Block every square to the same measured size, approximately 15 x 15 cm.

Lay squares diagonally, arrange central front into a V and pointed hem, then join with mattress stitch. Add motifs to fit bust and back.

Work 2–3 rounds of dc around neckline, decreasing at centre V if needed; edge armholes with 2 rounds dc.

Work 3–5 dc rows back and forth until straps fit (approximately 25–35 cm), then attach securely at back.

Cut 35–40 cm strands, fold 2 together and latch through hem at 1–1.5 cm intervals. Trim to 15–18 cm. Weave ends and block.
