Materials Required:

2.25mm crochet hook (though the recommended hook size for the yarn is 3mm)
Scissors
Yarn needle
Different color yarn or threads for decoration (optional)

Square Pattern (Make 2):

Row 1:

Start with a magic ring.
Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
Work 15 double crochets into the magic ring.
Count the chain 3 as your first double crochet giving you a total of 16 double crochets.
Close the magic ring and join with a slip stitch to the first stitch's back loop.

Row 2:

Chain 3 and work double crochet puff stitches.
For each puff stitch, yarn over, insert the hook, yarn over, pull through, and repeat twice more in the same space.
Then, yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook.
Chain 2. Continue around to get 16 puff stitches in total.
Finish with a chain 2 and slip stitch on the top of the first puff stitch.

For Row 3:

Start in a chain-2 space with a slip stitch.
Work 4 double crochets together in each chain-2 space around, chain 2 between each.
Join with a slip stitch.

Row 4:

Begin with a chain 2 (counts as the first half double crochet) and work in pattern, increasing stitches in the corners.
You will work with various stitches (half-double, double, and triple crochets) to shape the square.

Row 5:

Work one half double crochet into every stitch around, with two half double crochets, chain 2, and two half double crochets in every corner.

In Row 6:

Chain 3 and chain 1 more as a spacer.
Then, skip a stitch, and double crochet into the next.
Continue the pattern of chaining 1, skipping a stitch, and double crocheting into the next.
In corners, work two double crochets, chain 2, and two double crochets.

Row 7 - 10:

Continue building the square, alternating between rows that add texture and rows that provide shape, following the instructions for each row as described above.

Half Square Pattern (Make 3):

Start with a magic ring and follow a similar pattern to the Square for the first few rows, focusing on creating a triangular shape rather than a square by not working around but turning the work and proceeding on one side only.

Row 2 onwards:

Adapt the square pattern to work in triangular form by halving the number of stitches and working back and forth rather than around.
Pay attention to the corner shaping instructions, utilizing 3 double crochet popcorn stitches, 4 double crochet together stitches, and increasing or decreasing as necessary to maintain the triangle shape.
Continue following the detailed instructions for each row, similarly adapting the square's pattern for a half-square design, including the stitch types and increases in corners.

Joining and Finishing:

Joining:

Lay out the squares and half-squares as outlined, and use a crochet hook or yarn needle to sew or crochet them together accordingly.
Block your pieces before joining for a neater finish.

Straps:

Create straps by chaining to the desired length, then working back along the chain with slip stitches for strength and elasticity.
Attach straps at the four corners of the bralette.
