WELCOME HERE!

Simple but cool. This is how I would describe this crocheted Bralette, which I named 'Shell Bralette' because of its motif.

This sweet and simple crocheted bralette was my first bralette I made this year. I admit, I'm really looking forward to the warmer days and I'm inspired by the sunshine.

This top is quite customizable as it can be made in many sizes. It's tied at the back, so everyone can wear it comfortably.

Pattern Notes

This patterns uses US crochet terms!

Pattern follow size XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL)

E.g. "Ch 12 (12, 13, 15, 17, 19)" means Ch 12 for XS, 12 for S, 13 for M, 17 for L, 19 for XL.

If there is only one number, it applies to ALL sizes!

Level: easy

Shell Bralette Pattern

Make two cups as follows, one of each color:

Ch 12 (12, 13, 15, 17, 19).

Row 1: Sc into 2nd ch from hook and continue down the chain in sc until you reach last chain. Make 3 sc into last ch. Put a stitch marker in the middle stitch.

Turn your piece so you are working on the opposite side of the chain. Sc to the end. Tourn.

Row 2: Ch 1, sc until you reach the middle stitch of the 3 sc, make 3 sc into this stitch. Put a stitch marker in the middle stitch.Continue down the side of you piece making 1 sc into each stitch.

Repeat Row 2 through Row 9 (11, 13, 14, 17, 19). 

Change color.

Row 10 (12, 14, 15, 18, 20): Ch 1, make a sc into the same st, skip 2 st, *make 5 dc into the next st, skip 2 st, make 1 sc into the next st, skip 2 st* repeat until the end of the row.

Fasten off.

Now make the bottom part of the top:

Ch 67(73, 79, 85, 91, 97).

Row 1: Sc into 2nd ch from hook, sc until the end of the row. Change color, turn your work.

Row 2: Ch 1, sc into the same st, skip 2 st, *5 dc into the next st, skip 2 st, sc into the next st, skip 2 st* repeat until the end of the row. Change color, turn your work.

Repeat Row 2 until you reach the desired length. I crocheted 8 rows. Change color after each row!

Fasten off.

Assamble and Border

• Sew the two cups to the bottom part.
• Sc around the lower part of the top after that make holes on the edges as follows:
• Make sc into the first st, ch 2, skip 1 st, *sc into the next st, ch 2, skip 1 st* repeat until of ending of the edge.

Fasten off.

Straps

Put the two yarns together, make a sklipnot and attach yarn to the top of the cup. Make as many Ch as necessary to be able to tie the top at the back. Repeat on the other cup.

Fasten off.

Weave in all your ends and…

You're Done!

Happy Crocheting!
