This Daisy Granny Square Bralette crochet pattern combines fitted, shaped cups with a bright granny square band for a wearable piece that feels both vintage and trendy. The cups are worked from a simple foundation chain and shaped with a clean peak increase, making it easy to size up or down by repeating the main cup row until the coverage feels right.
Crochet Granny Square Bralette
A scalloped edging in a contrast color adds a soft, feminine finish and also becomes the base for the top tie straps, so you can adjust lift and comfort as you wear it. The bottom band is built from daisy granny squares, letting you customize the length, width, and overall look by changing the number of motifs and your color placement. Finished with a corset style back tie, this bralette is flexible in fit, fun to make, and perfect as a summer top or layering piece.

Notes Before You Start
- The bra cups are worked in rows, starting from a foundation chain and working around both sides of that chain to create a clean triangular cup shape.
- Cup size is adjustable by repeating the main shaping row until the cup fits your bust.
- The scalloped edging uses a repeat of skip 2, 6 dc fan, skip 2, sc.
- The granny square band length is adjustable by adding or removing squares.
- Strap lengths are customizable. The written lengths below match the tutorial style, but you can change them for comfort and coverage.
Sizing and Fit Guide
- Cup height is controlled by your starting chain length, so begin with a chain that reaches from underbust to nipple.
- Cup width and coverage are controlled by how many times you repeat the cup shaping row.
- Band size is controlled by how many daisy granny squares you join together.
- If you want more support, use a smaller hook or tighter tension for the cups.
- If you want more coverage, add more cup rows and consider adding one extra round of sc around the cup edge before scallops.
