Pattern Steps
Preparation
Pierce bra cup padding edges evenly about 0.5 cm apart using needle #0.9 to facilitate crochet attachment.
Create a foundation round by crocheting 2–4 slip stitches or single crochet stitches into each corner hole to stabilize corners.
Body Crochet (Triangle Cup Motif)
Round 1:
- Chain 3 (counts as first dc).
- Make 3 dc in 4th chain from hook (creates a 4-dc block).
- Chain 2 (separation).
- Repeat 4 dc block + chain 2 twice more to form a triangle base of 3 blocks.
- Slip stitch (sl st) to join at start of chain 3.
Round 2 and Onwards:
- Chain 3 (counts as first dc).
- In each chain-2 space from previous round, make (4 dc, chain 2, 4 dc) to form fans.
- Continue this fan-block pattern in each chain-2 space across.
- Slip stitch to close round.
- Repeat rounds until triangle reaches desired size (~6 rounds for medium cup). Adjust chain 1 or chain 2 spaces for stitch looseness/tightness.
Finishing Edge and Assembly
- Optionally work a round of single crochet (sc) or slip stitch (sl st) around edge for neat finish.
- Attach crochet cup to bra padding by working single crochet or slip stitches through pierced holes, securing fabric to padding.
Tie Strings (Optional)
- Chain length ~45 cm for each tie (adjust length).
- Work single crochet (sc) or slip stitch (sl st) for firmness.
- Attach ties at cup corners for versatile wearing (halter or curtain style).
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Maintain even tension for smooth shaping.
- Use extra stitches in corners for stability.
- Regularly fit the piece to assure size accuracy.
- If prone to joint pain, avoid tight stitches.
Tip
Use stitch markers or pins to maintain symmetry and stitch count on shaping.
