Stylish Crochet Bustier Pattern to Elevate Any Look
Materials
-
The video does not explicitly state the type of yarn, but it shows a medium-weight yarn being used.
-
Require a crochet hook (size not specified, but typically appropriate for the chosen yarn weight).
Uses
You are creating a crocheted bustier top. The tutor's method allows you to adjust the cup size based on your body measurements.
Special Features
-
Unique Cup Construction: Unlike traditional crochet bra cups that start at the bottom and work up in a triangle shape, this pattern starts from the center and is worked in a round to create a more rounded, natural, and custom-fit cup shape.
-
Custom Sizing: The pattern allows you to easily adjust the cup size (the number of rows) to fit your specific needs, whether you are an A-cup or a larger size.
Level of Difficulty
The video is a detailed, long tutorial (over 44 minutes), suggesting a Medium difficulty level. It requires knowledge of basic stitches (chains, slip stitches, half double crochet, double crochet, and puff stitches) and complex shaping, including joining two separate pieces and continuing the body down.
Tutor's Suggestions
-
Measure for Fit: You must measure the cup on your body as you crochet to ensure the correct size. The tutor's cup measured approximately 16.5–17 cm for a size equivalent to a Large/D-cup (she suggests this size for her medium body due to her bust size).
-
Adjust Cup Size: Adjust the cup size by approximately 1.5 cm per size (e.g., reduce by 1.5 cm for a smaller cup, increase by 1.5 cm for a larger one). For a medium size, aim for about 15–15.5 cm.
-
Row Count Guide: The tutor completed 10 rows for her cup size. You can generally subtract one row per size reduction (e.g., 9 rows for a smaller size.)
-
Maintain Consistency: When joining the two cups, ensure the side where you cut the yarn faces the same direction (outward/side) on both pieces to maintain proper orientation.
-
Count Stitches: Count your stitches and rows, especially when creating the bodice designs, to ensure symmetry and proper spacing.

When making the cup (Steps 5-8), remember that every corner is a working space. To ensure the final corner closes neatly, make a Half Double Crochet (HDC) instead of a full chain 2 for the last corner space of the round.
