Step-by-Step Pattern
1. Crochet the First Triangle Cup
Size Guide:
Start with 14 chains for small, 16-18 for medium, 20+ for large. Adjust to fit the base of your bust to nipple.
- Slip knot, chain the right number for your cup.
- Add 3 extra chains (counts as your first double crochet).
- Starting in the 4th chain from the hook, double crochet (dc) into each chain (your initial row).
- At the last chain (the tip), work:
3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc into the same space (creates the triangle point). - Continue along the other side of the foundation chain, making 1 dc in each stitch.
Tip: Count the dc on both sides of the ch-1 peak for symmetry. Use a stitch marker to remember the tip.
2. Continue the Cup Increases
- Each new row:
- Ch 2 and turn (for a neater edge).
- Skip the base of the turning chain, dc in each stitch across to the center (tip).
- In the ch-1 space: 3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc (keep the peak growing).
- Continue with dc in each stitch to end.
- Keep count on both sides for symmetry.
- Change colors on row ends if you want stripes—always finish the last stitch with the new yarn.
- *Repeat for 8 rows (small), 10 rows (medium), 12–16 rows (large), or as many as you need for the desired cup size.
3. Make the Second Cup
- Repeat the same process for the second cup.
4. Join Cups & Make Underbust Band
- When both cups are at your desired size, finish the last row on the first cup.
- Chain for the underbust band:
- 60 chains for size S, 70 for M, 80 for L+. Check by wrapping the chain around your rib cage for fit.
- Attach band to base of the second cup with a slip stitch.
- Work single crochet (sc) along the bottom of both cups, joining them in the middle and continuing to the end of the second cup.
- Securely join band to the other cup as you go.
- Tip: 2 sc in each chain space along the base gives a nice edge.
- Optional: Do a second row of sc for extra reinforcement.
5. Add Length (Optional)
- You can add as many rows of dc or sc to the lower band as you like for additional coverage—alternate plain and striped rows for interest.
- Continue until the band is 18-20cm wide, or your preferred length.
6. Crossed Straps
- Try the top on and mark locations for the straps (usually about 16 stitches in from the edges on both cups).
- Attach yarn at strap point, and chain 50–60 (try and adjust as needed).
- Attach chain to the back of your top at the correct position with a slip stitch.
- Work single crochet back along the chain for a thicker, sturdier strap.
- Repeat for the second strap, making sure they cross in the back for style and support.
7. (Optional) Add Elastic Ribbing
- Attach yarn in your chosen elastic/ribbing color at the bottom band.
- Ch 3, dc in each stitch around for one round.
- For ribbing:
- Front post double crochet (fpdc): Yarn over, insert hook from front to back around the post of the next dc, finish dc.
- Back post double crochet (bpdc): Yarn over, insert hook from back to front around the post of the next dc, finish dc.
- Alternate fpdc and bpdc around the round for 5–7 rounds for a stretchy ribbed effect.
8. Finishing
- Weave in all ends neatly with the tapestry needle.
- Block lightly if desired for a more even look.
