How to Make Triple D Crochet Bra Cups
Crocheting your own bra cups can be a fun and creative way to customize your lingerie. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of making triple D crochet bra cups. With just a few supplies and some basic crochet stitches, you can create bras that provide the perfect fit and support for larger cup sizes.
Materials Needed
Before you get started, gather the following materials:
- 5mm crochet hook
- Red Heart Super Saver yarn in the color of your choice
- Safety pin or stitch marker
- Pair of scissors
Step 1: Making the Slipknot
To begin, create a slipknot by forming a loop with the yarn and pulling the loose end through the loop. Adjust the loop size to fit your crochet hook comfortably.
Step 2: Making a Chain of 20
Using the slipknot, make a chain of 20 stitches. This will serve as the foundation for your bra cups. Ensure that each chain is evenly spaced and not too tight or too loose.
Step 3: Placing Single Crochet Stitches
In the third chain from the hook, place two single crochet stitches. To do this, insert your hook into the chain space, yarn over, and pull the yarn through the chain and the loop on your hook. Repeat this process for each chain, placing one single crochet stitch in each space. This will create the base row for your bra cups.
Step 4: Turning and Adding Double Crochet Stitches
Chain up one and turn your work to begin the next row. Starting with the second chain space from the hook, place a double crochet stitch. Yarn over, insert your hook into the chain space, yarn over again, pull through the chain space, yarn over, and pull through two loops. Repeat this process for each chain, placing one double crochet stitch in each space. Continue crocheting double crochet stitches until you reach the stitch marker.
Step 5: Doubling the Number of Stitches
Once you reach the stitch marker, remove it and place two double crochet stitches, chain one, and place two double crochet stitches in the same space. This will create a cluster of stitches that adds volume and shape to the bra cups. Continue working double crochet stitches along the side, making sure to place your stitch marker along the way to mark the cluster.
Step 6: Creating Clusters of Double Crochet Stitches
Continue crocheting double crochet stitches, creating clusters of four stitches in each marked space. Place two double crochet stitches, chain one, and two double crochet stitches in each marked space. This will help shape and define the cups. Remember to keep your stitch marker in place to guide you.
Step 7: Continuing the Pattern
Repeat the pattern, alternating between double crochet stitches and clusters of double crochet stitches, until you reach the desired length and width of your bra cups. Measure the cups to ensure they meet your requirements. The recommended measurements for a 34 Triple D cup is 10 inches from top to bottom and 9 inches from left to right.
Step 8: Achieving the Desired Measurements
To achieve the recommended measurements, continue following the pattern until you have a total of eight clusters. Each cluster should consist of two double crochet stitches, a chain one, and another two double crochet stitches. Adjust the number of clusters according to your cup size.
Conclusion
Making your own crochet bra cups can be a rewarding and enjoyable project. By following these steps and measurements, you can create comfortable and well-fitting bras for larger cup sizes. Experiment with different yarn colors and stitch patterns to add your own personal touch. Enjoy the process and have fun creating unique lingerie pieces that make you feel confident and beautiful.
