Materials Needed

Yarn (lightweight)
3.0 mm hook (or size complementary to your yarn)
Stitch markers
Scissors
Measuring tape

Joining the Cups

Ensure both right sides of the bra cups are facing you.
Insert the yarn through the last stitch of the second cup.
Pull up a loop and pull through to secure.

Creating the Back Panel

Chain an amount to your desired back width (approximately 3 inches for less coverage).
Chain two extra to turn.
Double crochet in the third chain from the hook and mark this first stitch.
Continue double crocheting in each chain until you reach the cup.

Working on the Cups

Make two double crochets in each row of the cup.
For rows ending with chain three, make one double crochet at the top of the chain three and one at the end.
At the point where the cups are joined, make one double crochet over both stitches.
Repeat the double crochet pattern on the second cup.

Completing the Base

Continue making double crochets on the remaining chains (14 chains, if you followed the example).
Chain three to turn and make one double crochet in the next stitch, repeating this row to your desired length.

Adding Single Crochet and Working the Sides

Chain one, turn your work, and make single crochets in every stitch to the end.
Chain one and make one more single crochet in the same space to turn to the side.
Make two single crochets in every row along the side.

Creating Strap Holes

Chain three (counts as a double crochet), turn your work.
Make one double crochet in the next chain, chain two, skip two, and make two double crochets in the next two stitches.
Repeat the "chain two, skip two, two double crochets" pattern to create holes for the straps.
Chain one, turn, and make one single crochet in every stitch and chain space.

Neck and Back Straps

Continue making single crochets along the top edge of the cups.
Chain 250-300 (or about 58 inches) for the neck and back straps.
Slip stitch back along the chain to make the strap thicker.
Attach the strap to the other side, mirroring the pattern.

Scallop Edging (Optional)

Switch to a 4.0 mm hook for a looser edging.
Skip the first two single crochets and make seven double crochets in the third single crochet.
Skip two single crochets and make a single crochet in the third.
Repeat the pattern around the bottom edge.
