Crochet Bralette Pattern PDF — Bikini Top, Festival Crop Top & Swim Top, All Sizes XS–XL

Three garments. One pattern. Sizes XS to XL.

This crochet bralette pattern is the only one you’ll need for three different finished tops: an everyday bralette to wear under an open shirt, a boho festival crop top with high-waisted denim, or a swim top for the beach and pool. The construction is the same — what changes is the yarn you choose and the strap styling. The ebook walks you through all three.

What’s inside the PDF

• Complete step-by-step written instructions with photos at each stage
• Sizing chart for XS, S, M, L, XL with US and European measurement conversions
• Three style variations — everyday bralette, festival crop top, bikini swim top
• Yarn selection guide for cotton (everyday), bamboo blend (drape), and lycra-blend (swim)
• The cup-increase math worked out so the finished cup actually fits — no gaping
• Halter, bandeau, and triangle strap variations explained with diagrams
• Troubleshooting section for the three places most beginner bralettes go wrong
• Materials checklist and care instructions

Skill level — beginner friendly

If you can work a chain, a double crochet, and a magic ring, you have everything you need. Front-post and back-post double crochet are explained inside the pattern with reference photos. The trickiest part — the cup increases — is broken down stitch by stitch.

How long does it take?

An evening for a confident beginner; a weekend if you’re still learning the rhythm. The cups themselves come together quickly — most of the time goes into the band and straps, where matching tension matters most.

What you’ll need

• Yarn — cotton for tops, bamboo blend for drape, lycra-blend cotton for swim (full guide inside)
• Crochet hook — sized 0.5 to 1 mm smaller than the yarn label recommends
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Measuring tape

Common Questions

What crochet skills do I need?
This pattern is beginner-friendly. If you know single crochet, double crochet, and basic increases/decreases, you can make this bralette. Every stitch is explained step-by-step with photos in the PDF.

What sizes are included?
All five sizes: XS, S, M, L, and XL. Each comes with US and European measurement charts.

Can I make all three styles from one pattern?
Yes. The everyday bralette, festival crop top, and bikini swim top all use the same base construction. The PDF walks you through the yarn choices and strap variations that create each look.

Are US or UK crochet terms used?
The pattern uses US crochet terminology. A US-to-UK conversion chart is included at the front of the PDF for makers outside the US.
