2. Bra Cups

Create Bra Cup

  2. Chain 2 and place a DC into each chain. When at the final chain:
    • Place 2 DC, chain 1, and 2 DC in the same stitch (this creates the curve for the cup).

Continue crocheting rows back and forth using DCs, increasing with the 2 DC, chain 1, 2 DC at the center curve. Repeat until the bra cup fits snugly over your breast.

Straighten Bottom Edge

SC into all the opening spaces at the base, ensuring the cup edge is even.

Attach Cups to Top

  • Using SC, attach bra cups to the finished bottom portion. Begin from the wrong (inside) side to make sure seams remain hidden.

3. Ruffle Straps

  1. Start your strap at the top corner of the bra cup with 5 DCs.
  2. Chain 2 at each edge and continue rows of 5 DCs until the strap is long enough to comfortably reach the back of the top.

Attach Straps

  • Try the top to determine strap placement at the back. Use SC to seam the straps securely.

4. Ruffle Edge

  1. Starting at the bottom of the strap (nearest the armpit side), SC into every space along the strap and the side seams.
  2. Once the base row is complete:
    • Chain 2, place 2 DC into each SC for a ruffled effect.

  3. Blocking: To give your top a polished look, block the finished product for smoother edges.
