Description of the Gothic Bralette pattern.
I’m just so happy to share the Gothic Pattern by Carroway Crochet.
This Free Crochet Bralette Pattern makes the perfect top for those looking for a quirky or gothic vibe You could also pair it with my Bella B Crochet Shorts which are also a free pattern here on my blog.
This bralette style top has an goth vibe when made with black yarn and the bodice has a lacy spider wev effect. You can make it as short or as long as you like.
The pattern is written for Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large. The cups use mostly double crochet stitches, while some sizes need a row of half double crochet to get the sizes to fit.
The Gothic Bralette is so on trend right now, especially with the fun picot trim around the cups. You can make it with your choice of worsted weight yarn, either acrylic or cotton, just look for the number (4) on the yarn label.
I have also made it wth a ruby red picot trim and it looks great.
It is an advanced beginner friendly crochet pattern, with easy to follow instructions. It is in US terms.

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:
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.
Row 2: Ch 5, sk3 the first 3 single crochet stitches, DC into the next st, * ch3, sk3 st, DC into next st*, repeat from * to * across to the end.
Row 3: Ch 5, sk3 st, dc into the top of the previous dc, *ch7, sk7, dc into the top of the previous dc st*, repeat from * to * across to the end, ch3, sk3, dc into the top of the ch2. .
Row 4: Ch 5, sk3 st, dc into the top of the previous dc, *ch11, sk7, dc into the top of the previous dc st*, repeat from * to * across to the end, ch3, sk3, dc into the 2nd ch of the previous turning chain.

Fasten off and 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.
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 or sl st them onto the bodice if you choose to.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Now you are ready to add the picot trim to the cups.
Picot trim for around the cups.
Join the black 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 over 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.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Back straps:
Join the black or a contrast 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 black or a contrast 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. I tie a knot at the end to make it look pretty.
Do the same to the other cup.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
