- Cup width: Aim for about 14.5 to 15 cm per cup for size S (adjust for larger sizes)
- Strap length: Approx. 31 cm for size S (adjust by height)
- Bust contour adjusted for ease: Subtract cup widths then divide by sides for side length approx. 37 cm (varies by size)
Step-by-Step Pattern
Step 1: Foundation Chain
- Chain 21 for size S (adjust chain count for your size according to bust measurement).
- This chain approximates the width of the bottom of the cup.
- Measure chain length without stretching to confirm.
Step 2: Row 1 – Double Crochet (dc) Across
- Chain 2 (counts as first dc).
- Dc in the 3rd chain from hook and in each chain across.
- End with a total of 21 dcs plus the 2 turning chains counting as first dc = 22 stitches total.
Step 3: Increase Row With 5 Dc Increase in Center
- Chain 2, turn.
- Dc in each stitch until center chain.
- Make an increase of 5 dcs into center chain to create shaping (mark center).
- Dc on remaining stitches on the row’s other side.
- This increases your total stitches by 4 (adding dk shaping per row).
Step 4: Subsequent Rows – Repeat Increase in Center
- Chain 2, turn.
- Dc in each stitch until center marker.
- Increase (5 dcs in one stitch) on center stitch.
- Continue dc on remaining stitches.
- This will gradually shape the cup with a triangular to rounded contour.
Step 5: Crochet Until Desired Width and Length
- Continue until cup measures approx. 14.5 to 15 cm width and 15-16 cm length for size S.
- Try on for fit; adjust by adding/removing rows as needed.
Step 6: Join Cups Using Chain Net Mesh
- Prepare second cup repeating steps 1–5 ensuring equal counts.
- With yarn tail from first cup, join edges with an open chain mesh:
- Single crochet, chain 3, skip one stitch, repeat across joining edges.
- Keep stitches and nodal points aligned for neat joining.
Step 7: Work Body Section
- Join yarn bottom of cups with main color.
- Chain 2 and work double crochet rows around under bust covering body.
- Repeat until length from under bust to desired top length minus finishing border (e.g., 10 cm).
Step 8: Crochet Side Panels
- Measure side from underarm opening to hip or desired length.
- Crochet granny stitch pattern for ventilation and style: 3 dc cluster, ch 2, skip 1 stitch repeat.
- Continue until side panel matches length.
Step 9: Begin Decreases to Shape Back
- Begin decrease rows at side edges: simple double crochet decrease (dc2tog) to narrow back at straps.
- Continue decreasing until about 5 to 6 stitches remain on edge.
- Work even stitches after decreases for neat strap attachment.
Step 10: Crochet and Attach Shoulder Straps
- Crochet strap strips of about 9 dc wide to match back strap width.
- Length approx 31 cm for size S, longer for bigger sizes.
- Sew or crochet straps connecting front and back pieces.
Step 11: Edge Finishing – Picot Fan Border
- Work single crochet around all edges (neckline, armholes, bottom).
- Create fan picot pattern:
- 3 dc, ch 3, slip stitch in 1st ch (picot), 3 dc, ch 3, slip stitch in 1st ch, sc in next stitch repeat.
- This delicate edge adds visual interest and structure.
Step 12: Weave in Ends and Block
- Weave long yarn tails securely.
- Gently block garment to shape and size with pins and steam or wet towel method.

Tutor’s Suggestions
- Use stitch markers to identify center stitch increases easily.
