Sienna two way crochet bralette
Two fun ways to wear it

DESIGN INSPIRATION

I wanted to design a bralette that works up fast and that fits well on all if not most cup sizes. I also wanted a multi-purpose piece that can be worn two ways while having it look unique on its own.

Topped off with string ties making it easily adjustable for any size. And when using the right yarn, you won’t experience any sag or water weight – guaranteed! Check out these FAQ about crochet swimsuits and bikinis here.

DESCRIPTION

This bralette is worked up in 2 repeat sections – the left and right cups and then joined at the band. If you know your basic single, half double, and double crochet stitches, then this should be a breeze.

This bralette pattern includes sizes A – F however, it is easily adjustable and suited for most sizes. And for bigger cup gals, my suggestion would be to add Shaper pad cups and possibly elastic bands under the bust too for that 100% support!
