Repeat extra rounds as needed to make the cup larger.
Finish off, and weave in ends.
Bodice:
The bodice is the section that goes below the bralette and has the back straps attached to it.
This can be customized to fit your body.
I have listed the various sizes and how many chains are recommended for each size. You can, however, make a chain long enough to go from one side of your rib cage to the other. For a medium I suggest you ch 64 plus 1. You can make it smaller or larger, but make sure it is in multiples of 8 plus 1 so the pattern works.
I have written the bodice pattern for sizes, XS, S, M, L, XL
Recommended starting chains for the above sizes:
Extra Small: Waist size 25.”
Ch48+1 (this makes a 16.5” crocheted bodice) approx.
Small: Waist size 28.”
Ch 56+1 (this makes a 18.5” crocheted bodice) approx.
Medium: Waist size 30.”
Ch 64+1 (this makes a 19.5” bodice) approx.
Large: Waist size 34.”
Ch 72+1 (this makes a 22” bodice) approx.
Extra Large: Waist 37.”
Ch 80+1 (this makes a 24.5” bodice) approx.
Instructions for the bodice:
Start with your Main colour, I used black.
Chain the required amount from the sizing information above and follow this pattern. It is the same for all sizes.
Row 1: SC into the 2nd chain from the hook. SC all the way across to the end and turn.
Change to colour B
Row 2: Ch 2, DC into the next st, and into each st across to the end. Turn work.
Change to colour A
Row 3: Ch 2, DC into the next st, and into each st across to the end. Turn work.
Change to colour B
Row 4: Ch 2, DC into the next st, and into each st across to the end. Turn work.
Change to colour A
Row 5: Ch 2, DC into the next st, and into each st across to the end.
Change to colour B
Row 6: Ch 2, DC into the next st, and into each st across to the end.
Change to colour A
Row 7: Ch 2, DC into the next st, and into each st across to the end.
Change to colour B
Row 8: Ch 2, DC into the next st, and into each st across to the end.
Change to colour A
Row 9: Ch 2, DC into the next st, and into each st across to the end.
For a longer bodice you can repeat rows 8 and 9.
Finish off. Weave in the ends.
Joining the cups to the bodice.
Fold the bodice in half to locate the centre and mark it with a stitch marker or a piece of contrasting yarn. Make sure the right side is facing up.
Place the cups, right sides facing down over the bodice and pin in place.
Check the sides of the cups to see that they match, with even sides of the bodice at each end.
You can attach the cups by whip stitching them onto the bodice. Remember to use a matching yarn for the whip stitching.
You can also sc them onto the bodice if you choose to.
Picot trim for around the cups.
Join the main or contrasting yarn to bottom edge where the cup meets the bodice.
Sl st into next 2 stitches, ch3, sl st into 1st ch, creating a tiny loop, (this is the picot), *sl st into next 2 st, ch3, sl st into 1st ch, * repeat from * to * until the top of the cup, sl st into the two stitches in the top of the cup, ignoring the ch 1 sp, *sl st into next 2 st, ch3, sl st into 1st ch, * repeat from * to * until last 2 st. sl st into these 2 st.
You are now at the V where the cups meet.
Move across to the second cup and repeat this pattern.
Back straps:
Join the main colour yarn to the side of the bodice and chain 80 for a 25” tie. You can sc back down the chain if you want a thicker tie.
Do the same for the other side.
Halter Straps/Ties:
Join the main colour yarn to the top of the cup. Chain 60 for a 20” tie. You can sc back down the chain if you want a thicker tie.
Do the same to the other cup.
You now have a Bright Stripes Bralette Top!
It is so exciting to make an amazing one of a kind item to wear or give to a friend.
