How to Crochet a Sunburst Granny Top/Bralette
Materials Needed:
- Medium weight yarn (3.75 to 4mm hook recommended)
- Crochet hook
- Scissors
- Stitch markers (optional)
Step 1: Starting the Base
- Begin by making a circle with 17 double crochets. Start with a chain of three and then make 16 more double crochets in the same circle.
- Close up the hole by pulling the yarn through and tightening it.
- Create puff stitches by working three double crochets in the same stitch three times, followed by a chain one. Repeat this process 17 times to create 17 puff stitches.
Step 2: Forming the Triangle
- Transition the circle into a triangle by working treble crochets in the corners.
- Work three treble crochets, chain three, and three more treble crochets in the next corner space.
- Continue working around the triangle, adding double crochets and half double crochets as needed to form the shape.
- Close the triangle by slip stitching into the first chain.
Step 3: Building the Bralette
- Extend the triangle into a bralette by working additional rows of double crochets.
- Work in an "M" shape pattern, adding double crochets in each space and corner.
- Continue working rows until the desired coverage is achieved for the bust area.
Step 4: Adding Straps
- Create straps by crocheting chains and attaching them to the top corners of the bralette.
- Create crisscross straps at the back by making long chains and securing them in a crisscross pattern.
- Tie off the ends of the straps and adjust the length as needed.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
- Weave in any loose ends to secure the stitches.
- Customize the design by adding embellishments or decorations if desired.
- Try on the bralette to ensure a good fit and make any necessary adjustments.
