Hook size 4.5 mm (G-6)
Sewing needle (for weaving ends)
Scissors

Gauge:

Abbreviations:

dc - double crochet
sl st - slip stitch

Instructions:

1. Bralette Base:

- Begin by making a foundation chain of 36. This will create the width of your bandeau.

- Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make 1 dc. Continue to dc in each chain across. (Total of 34 dc). Turn your work.

- Row 2-8: Ch 3 (counts as first dc). Dc in each st across. At the end of each row, turn your work. You should have a total of 8 rows.

- Fasten off and weave in ends.

2. Making the Cups:

- Repeat the same steps as above to create another piece for the second cup.

- Once you have two pieces, place them together, with the right sides facing out, lining them up.

- Using the sc stitch, crochet around the side, bottom, and other side of the cups for a finished edge. Leave the top open for the neck strap.

3. Creating the Daisy Appliqués:

- Using white yarn, ch 4 and join with a sl st to form a ring.

- Round 1: In the ring, make 12 sc. Join with sl st to the beginning. Cut yarn and fasten off.

- Round 2: Use yellow yarn, attach it to any sc from the previous round, and ch 3. In the same stitch, make 2 dc, ch 1, 3 dc. This makes one petal. Skip the next sc and repeat for a total of 6 petals. Join with a sl st.

- Leave a tail for sewing. Create a total of 2 appliqués for the bralette.

4. Assembly:

- For the back tie, chain another 40 and attach it in the same manner to the bottom corners of the cups.

5. Finishing:
