Scissors
Tapestry needle

Making the Cups

Start with a chain of 17.
In the fifth chain from the hook, make the first double crochet.
Work double crochets across to the last chain.
In the last chain, make five double crochets to round the cup.
Continue on the other side of the chain with one double crochet in each stitch, hiding the tail.

Begin each new row with two double crochets.

Make one double crochet in each stitch around the cup.
In the middle stitch, for the first three rows, make five double crochets in the same stitch.
For the next three rows, make three double crochets in the middle.
Try on after three rows to check fit.
Repeat the full process for the second cup.

Attaching the Cups

In the final row of the second cup, make the second double crochet in the center stitch of the first cup.
This will join the cups together.
Make the third double crochet to finish the row.
Alternatively, sew the cups together.

Making the Bottom Row of the Top

Chain four to start.
In the second chain of the previous row, make a double crochet.
Continue the pattern: chain one, skip a stitch, and double crochet in the next.
Work this across about two-thirds of the cup.
Near the center, switch to triple crochets.
Two stitches before the center, begin making triple crochets with a chain in between.
In the center, make a triple crochet joining both cups.
Mirror the pattern on the other side for symmetry.

Making the Cells (Mesh)

Ensure the number of stitches is divisible by two.
Chain five and skip one double crochet from the previous row.
In the next stitch, make a slip stitch to form the mesh cell.
Adjust by skipping stitches with slip stitches if needed.
Continue attaching mesh cells in the middle of each previous cell.
To shape the triangle, reach the middle of the first cell with slip stitches.
Continue this pattern until only one cell remains.

Decoration Part

Work lace edging all around the top.
Between two cells, make five double crochets in the same stitch for a lace effect.
Attach lace with a slip stitch between the second two cells, spacing about 1 cm.
On the cup sides, attach lace between rows about 1 cm apart.
In the cup middle, attach lace in every second double crochet.
In the center area, make one lace element instead of two.
Cut yarn and weave in the tail to finish.
