Granny Merge Bralette pattern inspiration

While I was working on the Granny Merge Maxi Dress, I also took part in a test for the Bella Bralette by Cosy Rosie UK. Although I don’t really wear bralettes as daywear, on the beach I am totally there for it. This easy crochet bralette pattern is the type of bikini top I generally would wear / go for.

Easy crochet bralette pattern yarn & materials

To create my easy crochet bralette I used King Cole Cottonsoft Candy Crush DK. This is a 100% cotton dk weight yarn. This is a variegated version of the Cottonsoft DK that I used to create the On the Bias Tote. For the Pink version I used shade 2434, for the white I used Cottonsoft Candy in shade 2851. This is a very soft and easy to work with cotton, making it great for easy wearable crochet projects. Unlike other regularly available cottons, this comes in 100g skeins making this, for some sizes, a one skein crochet bralette pattern.

Granny Merge Bralette crochet pattern info & tips

The Granny Merge Bralette is a beginner size inclusive boho bralette pattern. Made using multiple motifs, this design works up quickly as it uses beginner stitches to create an easy to wear crochet garment. This made to measure boho bralette crochet pattern is made up of multiple granny squares and triangle motifs, finished with slip stitches.

Gauge isn’t super important in this easy boho bralette crochet pattern, tight uniform stitches are. If your tension is a little loose, use a slightly smaller hook than recommended as there will be a little stretch in the fabric.

Join

Join Squares

Hold two squares together, right sides facing, and join in any corner through both squares with a sl-st, then, ch1, sl-st into the same sp, sl-st into the next st and each st and sp along to the next corner, sl-st into the corner. Tie off. Repeat this until all 7 squares are joined in a strip with one seam left to join.

Join Cups

With the right sides facing, pin your cups to the centre of your bralette band. The middle of your bralette cups should be attached to the middle stitch of your centre granny square, the outer corners should be pinned to the further corner of the NEXT granny square on each side.

It will NOT lay flat, this is correct.

Now insert your hook into the corner st of the cup and sq and join with a sl-st. Sl-st evenly across to join the cup and square until you reach the centre marked st. (It will cup a little this is fine)

Sl-st into the corner of the next cup and the same st as the previous cup, continue to sl-st across to the last st on the cup.

Do not tie off.

Edge

Continuing from where you were.

Sc into the next st, sc into each st to the last corner, sl-st to join to the square on the opposite side, sc into the same corner sp, sc into each st around until you reach the corner of the bralette cup where you began.

Sc into that st, then sc into each st and sp along the side of the cup until you reach the next ch2 sp, sc into the sp, sl-st into the sp, ch72, sc into the 2nd ch from the hook, sc into the next 70 chs, sc into the ch2 sp, sc into every st and sp along the side of the cup until you reach the next ch2 sp.

Sl-st into the ch2 sp and the granny square below, then sl-st into the granny square and the next cup, sc into every st and sp until the next ch2 sp, sc into the ch2 sp, sl-st into the ch2 sp, ch72, sc into the 2nd ch from the hook, sc into the next 70 sts, sc into the ch2 sp, sc into every st and sp until the next ch2 sp, sc into the sp, sl-st into the sp. Tie off

Rotate your work so that you will now work along the bottom edge of the band area.

With the right sides facing, rejoin with a sl-st into ‘free’ the corner of the granny square. Sc into the same sp, sc into each st and sp around until you reach the last corner, sl-st the two corners together, ch1, and sl-st into the same sp.

Row rotate your work so that you can work along the final seam between the two granny squares. Sl-st into the first st, sl-st into each st and sp across to corner. Sl-st into each corner. Tie of and secure all your ends.
