Crochet Bralette Mesh Top With Band And Tie Back Pattern

This easy crochet bralette pattern creates a flattering, wearable bralette top built from two classic triangle cups and finished with a lightweight mesh band. The construction is simple and repeatable, making it beginner friendly, but the result looks detailed thanks to the back loop cup texture and the picot edging.

Crochet Bralette

 

The best part is the fit control: you can grow the cups to your preferred coverage, adjust the halter ties for lift, and extend the mesh band to match your torso length. The tie back closure and eyelet style sides also make it flexible for layering, lounging, festivals, or everyday styling over tanks and dresses.
