Materials Required
To start this project, you will need the following materials:
- Tapestry needle
- 4mm crochet hook
- Two colors of yarn (yellow and peach)
Creating a Slipknot
To begin the crochet project, you need to create a slipknot. This will serve as the starting point for your work.
- Take the end of the yarn and make a loop.
- Insert the crochet hook through the loop and pull the yarn through to create a slipknot.
- Tighten the knot by pulling the yarn gently.
Starting the Project
Once you have created the slipknot, you can begin the crochet project. Follow these steps to get started:
- Make a chain of four stitches.
- Join the last stitch to the first stitch with a slip stitch.
- Chain up two stitches.
- Weave in the loose ends as you go.
Making the Shell Pattern
The shell pattern forms the main design element of the crushed pineapple candy crochet project. Follow these steps to create the shell pattern:
- Yarn over your hook and insert it into the space where you made the chain four in the previous step.
- Pull up a loop.
- Yarn over and pull through two loops.
- Chain up two stitches.
- Yarn over and insert the hook back into the same space.
- Create two extended half double crochet stitches.
- Chain up two stitches.
- Repeat step 5 and 6 to create another shell.
- Your work should resemble a shell pattern.
Repeat the Shell Pattern
To continue with the shell pattern, repeat the following steps:
- Turn your work.
- Slip stitch into the next two stitches.
- Chain up two stitches.
- Yarn over and create a shell in the same space.
- Repeat the shell pattern until you reach the desired length.
- Slip stitch into the next two stitches at the end of each row.
Adjusting the Size
Depending on your bra size, you may need to adjust the pattern to fit you perfectly. Here are some guidelines for different sizes:
- 32B: Use 13 chains.
- Smaller Sizes: Use 9 chains.
- Larger Sizes: Use more chains, such as 20 for size D or 15 for size C.
Finishing the Bra
As you continue working on the shell pattern, the pineapple design will start to take shape. Keep repeating the pattern until the pineapple gets smaller. When you reach the end, finish with a shell pattern to complete the bra.
Adding the Straps
To add the straps to your crochet bra, follow these steps:
- Chain up two stitches.
- Slip stitch into the space where the pineapple pattern starts.
- Make a chain that is long enough to go around your neck and make a bow.
- Cut off the end of the chain and secure it.
Final Touches
To give the crushed pineapple candy crochet project its final touches, weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. Hide the ends in between the stitches for a neat finish.
