Tip:

For a more personalized touch, try experimenting with different color combinations to match your summer style.

Materials Needed:

• 3.5 mm crochet hook
• DK weight yarn (approximately 100 grams for a very small, flat size – adjust according to your size)
• Yarn needle for stitching pieces together and weaving in ends

Cup Pattern:

1. Starting Chain: Chain a length from where you want the side of your cup to begin to your nipple. For example, chain 14 (adjust this number based on your size).
2. Increase: Chain 2 more for turning, then double crochet into the third chain from the hook. Double crochet in each chain across to the last chain.
3. In the last chain, perform an increase by doing two double crochets, chain one, and then another two double crochets all into the same last chain.
4. Other Side: Now, work double crochets along the other side of the chain back down to the start.
5. Repeat these steps, doing the increases at the tip (middle) of the cup every row, until the cup is large enough to cover your breast. Finish after an odd number of rows (for this tutorial, 7 rows were done).

Band:

1. Starting the Band:
   • Chain 2 and then double crochet across the bottom of the cup, putting one double crochet in each space available. Ensure you have an even count (the number may vary; the example used 28 double crochets).
   • For the second cup, make sure to have the same count of double crochets across the bottom for symmetry.
2. Decreases: After the first row of double crochets along the band, start decreasing on one side (this creates a tapered look on one side of the band) by doing a decrease stitch at the beginning of every row for this side only.
3. Continue with the pattern, decreasing at the start of every row on one side until you have completed 16 rows (or until it’s long enough to wrap around your back with a gap for tying).

Joining the Pieces:

1. Stitch the two cups together at the center. Use a yarn needle and piece of yarn to stitch the increased (tip) sections of each cup together.
2. Once joined, you can start crocheting around the entire piece to prepare for adding the mesh.

Mesh Addition:

1. Continue working in rounds starting from the bottom of one cup, adding single crochets to create an even base.
2. Create a mesh pattern by chaining and skipping stitches as desired to create a mesh look that complements the cups and wraps around the back.
3. Adjust the mesh size and the number of rows based on how much coverage you want.

Finishing:

1. Add a shell stitch border around the entire piece for a decorative edge.
2. Create long chains to lace up the back for an adjustable fit.
3. Weave in all ends.

Notes:

• This pattern is customizable based on size and coverage preferences.
• Always measure against the wearer for the best fit.
• The tutorial suggests experimenting with the project, as adjustments can be easily made during the crocheting process.
