How To Crochet Waist Skirt & Bralette Set
This tutorial outlines the creation of a beautiful crochet skirt and bralette set, perfect as a summer project. The design combines a stretchy waistband with intricate mesh detailing. Below is a detailed, step-by-step pattern derived from the video tutorial, including materials, abbreviations, and important tips to help you recreate the design.
Materials Needed
- Yarn: Thin yarn (recommended for optimal flexibility and stretch)
- Hook: 3.0 mm crochet hook
- Other Supplies: Scissors, stitch markers (optional)
Abbreviations Used
Here are the stitch abbreviations used in the instructions:
- CH: Chain
- DC: Double crochet
- SC: Single crochet
- BL: Back Loop
Crochet Pattern: Waist Skirt
1. Create the Waistband (Ribbed Section)
- Chain Foundation: Make a chain according to the required width of your waistband (ensure the chain comfortably wraps around your waist without being too tight).
- Row 1:
- Yarn over.
- Work DC into each chain stitch until the end of the row.
- CH 1, then turn your work.
- Row 2 and Beyond (Ribbing):
- Work DC in the Back Loop (BL) of each stitch to create the ribbed texture.
- Continue repeating this step until the band is long enough to comfortably wrap around your waist.
- Joining Ends:
- Once the ribbed section is complete, join the two ends using SC to form a circle.
2. Crochet the Main Skirt Body (Mesh Design)
Row 1 (Mesh Foundation)
- Starting from the waistband, attach your yarn securely.
- Mesh Pattern:
- CH 5, skip 3 stitches, and SC into the fourth stitch.
- Repeat this sequence (CH 5, skip 3 stitches, SC into the fourth stitch) until the end of the row.
Row 2
- Adjust Chain Length: CH 3 instead of CH 5.
- Work SC directly into the mesh spaces (ignore individual stitches). Repeat this for the entire row.
Row 3
- Expanding the Design:
- CH 3 and SC into the first mesh space.
- CH 3 again and SC into the same mesh space (this creates two mesh holes in each existing mesh space).
- Repeat until the end of the row.
- This technique helps expand the width of the skirt.
Remaining Rows
- Continue alternating rows of single meshes (one mesh into each mesh space) and expanded meshes (two meshes into each mesh space every third row).
- Repeat this process until the skirt reaches your desired length.
Crochet Pattern: Bralette
1. Create the Base Panel
- Chain Foundation:
- Create a chain twice the width of your bust.
- Row 1 (Mesh Foundation):
- CH 3, skip 2 stitches, and SC into the third stitch.
- Repeat the sequence (CH 3, skip 2 stitches, SC into the third stitch) until the end of the row.
- Rows 2–19 (or More):
- CH 3, then SC into each mesh space from the previous row.
- Repeat until the mesh panel reaches your desired length (approximately 19–20 rows).
2. Add Depth with Single Crochet Rows
- Row 1 (SC Row):
- Work SC into each stitch.
- CH 1 and turn your work.
- Rows 2–5:
- Repeat row 1 to build solid single crochet rows.
- Adjust the number of rows based on personal preference.
3. Reduce for Straps (Triangle Effect)
- Starting from the edges of the bralette, decrease mesh size every row:
- CH 3, skip the first mesh space, and SC into the second mesh space.
- Continue working SC into every second mesh space to gradually taper the panel into a triangle.
- Repeat until you achieve the desired triangular shape for the neck straps.
4. Add Neck Straps and Back Tie
- Neck Straps:
- Using thicker yarn (or doubling the thin yarn), create a long CH to serve as the necktie strap.
- Securely attach the straps to the upper corners of the bralette.
- Back Tie:
- Make a long CH to connect the two bralette cups together at the back.
- Insert the chain into the mesh spaces beneath the single crochet rows to secure the tie.
Conclusion
This crochet design combines simplicity and elegance, perfect for a casual summer outfit. The stretchy waistband and triangle bralette offer adjustable comfort. Follow the steps meticulously to achieve consistent results. Feel free to customize colors and dimensions as desired.
