Crochet bra pattern. Features of crocheting bodices

11.11.2019

Of course, when it comes to knitted clothing, the hot summer favorites are tops. They can be divided into two types: either a knitted fabric with an emphasis on decor, or a bodice complemented by fabric. In modern fashion, crocheted bodices have become not a piece of clothing, but an independent element of the wardrobe. They are not hidden, on the contrary, attention is focused on them with decoration and originality of knitting. We propose to consider various ways of their implementation.

A few words about matings. They can be different, the main thing is density and the ability to maintain shape. SBN and C1H (single crochet stitches) are best suited.

For very small sizes, you can use a rectangular or triangular shaped fabric, knitted in different directions. See fig. for options. 1, 2, 3.

The triangle knitted according to pattern 1 has a convexity according to the knitting method. It can be increased by slightly pulling the bottom of the cup when tying the RLS. For sizes 44-46 the cup volume should be larger. In this case, knitting according to pattern 2 (photo 1) is suitable. It should be noted that the diagram reflects the knitting principle, but does not give actual dimensions. You must calculate the number of columns and the number of rows of knitting according to your size and knitting density. Rows C1H can be of different colors if this matches the overall composition of the top. Stripes of different colors will highlight the shape of the cup. When knitting such a RLS cup (diagram 3), the hook can be inserted traditionally under both half-loops, or it can be knitted behind the back wall. In the latter version, the canvas acquires relief.

Cups associated with horizontal or vertical darts are very convenient.

In the first case (diagram 4), it is necessary to calculate the number of sc for the widest part of the cup based on the density of knitting (measure along the bra), dial 6-8 sc less and add them when knitting the lower part of the cup. Knit the dart in partial knitting. In the proposed pattern, the “step” of partial knitting consists of 3 sc. In the first row of partial knitting (15th row of the pattern) do not knit 3 sc, make a ch for lifting, turn the knitting, knit a row and at the end of it (16th row according to the pattern) also do not knit the last 3 sc. Continue knitting in this way until 5-8 sc remain. A smaller number of RLS gives the cup a sharpness that is not needed in this version. Please note that the number of “steps” on each side should be the same. The result is half a cup, which you see in photo 2.

To avoid holes and creasing of the last sc of the “step”, knit as follows: insert the hook into the head of the last sc of the “step”, remove the working thread, but do not knit. Insert the hook behind the leg of the last SC of the previous row (photo 3), remove the RN and knit all the loops together. Usually knit the 3rd and 2nd sc of the next “step” (photo 4), and the last sc as described above. Having knitted to the end, turn the knitting and knit the next row in the same way. The result will be a smoothly rounded canvas (photo 5).

Knit a cup with vertical darts (photo 7) according to pattern 5. Its size can be adjusted by changing the initial number of VPs and the intensity of increases and decreases (two instead of one or alternating them). These cups look classic and fit almost all sizes. The width of the cup can be changed if necessary, decorating with lace or guipure elements.

A very popular option is knitting from the center with triangles (pattern 6, photo 8).

Cups with multi-colored stripes are especially impressive (see photo 9). Their small drawback is the limitation in the sizes at which they look good.

A very interesting way to knit cups using the “¾ square” principle. Its advantage is that there are many options.

Option one - the classic form according to Fig. 4, photo 10.

Knit the fabric of such a cup from the wide part of the AB upwards. Match the small sides and sew. On a cup top, place the seam under the bust or on top depending on your taste. You will get the same cup shape when knitting a square according to pattern 7.

Option two - Fig. 5: cast on VP along the BAB line and knit with increases in the middle of the fabric (point A). Align points B and sew the cup along a straight line BVB* to the top fabric. The central part of the fabric will look more interesting if it is knitted in a simple and fairly dense pattern, for example, with “flyers” according to pattern 8, or another at your discretion.

Option three- a cup in which one (Fig. 6) or every third of the canvas (Fig. 7) consists of a square motif will look impressive. In photo 11, the bodice is formed by three classically knitted squares from the center.

Option four— diagram 9. General view in photo 12. The same small square at the base of the cup. Knit the remaining 2/3 of the fabric with sc on both sides of the square without any increase.

Notice the dart at the bottom of the cup. Knit two or three of them depending on the size. The upper part of the cup can be knitted openwork, as in diagram 10. It is shown in close-up that a curve is knitted on one side of the square.

Option five according to scheme 11. Look at the general view of the canvas in Fig. 8. This is how it will turn out when knitting from line AB up. To round the shape, knit the inside of the fabric in half-columns. On the right side of the fabric, knit decreases, and the upper part - partial knitting. The VG lines horizontally and vertically must be the same, they need to be sewn. Cups of this shape fit very comfortably on breasts of any size. If you want to have a beautiful product, but not knit a bodice, you can knit guipure elements and sew them on your favorite bra so that it is not visible. An openwork fabric sewn at the bottom will turn it into a spectacular top.
Lots of summer tops and T-shirts.

Knitted items are always in great demand. Most craftswomen prefer to work with knitting needles, but, unfortunately, not every project can be knitted with knitting needles. Then a hook comes to the rescue, which can be used to make very delicate things. Despite the fact that you have to work a little, the result will exceed all expectations! In this article you will learn how to crochet a bodice; with the patterns, the work will go like clockwork!

Knitting a bodice

The process of making a bodice can be traced using the example of a master class. In order to make a bodice, you will need 100 grams of stretch cotton yarn and a 1.5 mm hook.

First of all, we start knitting the work from the cups. We crochet 18 air loops and two lifting loops. We knit 16 double crochets. In 17-18 loops we knit two double crochets, make an air loop, and in the next pair again two double crochets. Then, to the end of the row, we knit one double crochet into each loop of the previous row. Next we knit according to the pattern:

Note! You can increase the number of rows. For example, cup B has 10 rows knitted instead of 9.

We knit the second piece.

Now you need to tie the bodice. We make the binding using single crochets (first row), and then we make a picot, as shown in the diagram below.

We tie the bottom according to chronology: one double crochet - one air loop. We knit through one loop. Such “windows” will be needed so that you can later thread a small rope. We knit it 130 cm long, two stitches wide. We attach a working thread to the top of the cup and knit two more ropes, no more than 70 cm long. First, make five loops wide, and then gradually reduce them until their number reaches two loops.

We tuck the protruding threads inside. And using a pin we thread the rope through the lower windows.

Other cup variations

Option No. 2

We invite you to consider another cup model with a description under the photo.

Option #3

This variation of the bodice will perfectly highlight your breasts, and a cute bottom is the most trendy this year!

Here is a knitting pattern.

Option No. 4

Another interesting modification of cup knitting.

Addition to the outfit

Recently, crocheted bodices have already become a full-fledged element of clothing. They are not hidden, but on the contrary, they are trying to show them, focusing on the originality of the knitting. For such a bodice, you will need 100 grams of yarn and a No. 3 hook for the dress.

We knit a cup according to the pattern. The length of the chain of chain loops should be equal to the length from the bottom of the chest to the center. The volume of the cup can be made by adding or subtracting the number of loops. Therefore, this option is perfect for large breasts.

Then we gradually, decreasing the loops, move on to knitting the side part. Next we knit the back and knit the second cup. We connect the two halves of the bodice at the back and tie the top edge according to the following pattern.

We knit the front of the bodice with connecting posts and finish the bottom edge.

Using a thread and a needle, sew the bodice to the finished skirt.

Simplified version

We invite you to consider a selection of photos with step-by-step knitting of the bodice. For the work you need lilac yarn and a suitable hook.

Of course, hot summer favorites are tank tops. They can be divided into two types: either a knitted fabric with an emphasis on decor, or a bodice complemented by fabric. Bodices in modern fashion have become not a detail of clothing, but an independent element of the wardrobe. They are not hidden, on the contrary, attention is focused on them with decoration and originality of knitting. We propose to consider various ways of their implementation.
A few words about matings. They may be different. The main requirement for them is density and the ability to maintain shape. SBN and C1H (single crochet stitches) are best suited.
For very small sizes You can use rectangular or triangular fabric, knitted in different directions. See fig. for options. 1, 2, 3.

Attention!!! Pictures enlarge when clicked.

A rectangular fabric can be beautifully draped, tied with cords and this creates a convexity of the fabric. In triangular-shaped bodices, the volume is formed when tying: the edges of the fabric must be slightly pulled together with single crochets.
The triangle knitted according to pattern 1 has a convexity according to the knitting method. It can be increased by slightly pulling the bottom of the cup when tying the RLS. For sizes 44-46 the cup volume should be larger. In this case, knitting option according to pattern 2 (photo 1) is suitable. It should be noted that the diagram reflects the principle of knitting, but does not give actual dimensions. You must calculate the number of columns and the number of rows of knitting according to your size and knitting density. Rows C1H can be of different colors if this matches the overall composition of the top. Stripes of different colors will highlight the shape of the cup. When knitting such a RLS cup (diagram 3), the hook can be inserted traditionally under both half-loops, or it can be knitted behind the back wall. In the latter version, the canvas acquires relief.
Cups associated with horizontal or vertical darts are very convenient.
In the first case (diagram 4), it is necessary to calculate the number of sc for the widest part of the cup based on the density of knitting (measure along the bra), dial 6-8 sc less and add them when knitting the lower part of the cup. Knit the dart in partial knitting. In the proposed pattern, the “step” of partial knitting consists of 3 sc. In the first row of partial knitting (15th row of the pattern) do not knit 3 sc, make a ch for lifting, turn the knitting, knit a row and at the end of it (16th row according to the pattern) also do not knit the last 3 sc. Continue knitting in this way until 5-8 sc remain. A smaller number of RLS gives the cup a sharpness that is not needed in this version. Please note that the number of “steps” on each side should be the same. The result is half a cup, which you see in photo 2.
To avoid holes and creasing of the last sc of the “step”, knit as follows: insert the hook into the head of the last sc of the “step”, remove the working thread, but do not knit. Insert the hook behind the leg of the last SC of the previous row (photo 3), remove the RN and knit all the loops together. Usually knit the 3rd and 2nd sc of the next “step” (photo 4), and the last sc as described above. Having knitted to the end, turn the knitting and knit the next row in the same way. The result will be a smoothly rounded canvas (photo 5).

Continue knitting, decreasing one sc in each row on the right and left sides. Step back from the edge one sc at a time, it will be easier to tie. Continue knitting the last 4-5 sc evenly, this will be a strap. Look at photo 6 for a fully knitted cup. While knitting, try on the cup. If you think that it is not convex enough, change the number of sc in the “steps”, for example 3-2-3-2 or 2-2-2...
Knit a cup with vertical darts (photo 7) according to pattern 5. Its size can be adjusted by changing the initial number of VPs and the intensity of increases and decreases (two instead of one or alternating them). These cups have a classic look and fit almost all sizes. The width of the cup can be changed if necessary, decorating with lace or guipure elements.
A very popular option is knitting from the center with triangles (pattern 6, photo 8).

Cups with multi-colored stripes are especially impressive (see photo 9). Their small drawback is the limitation in the sizes at which they look good.

A very interesting way to knit cups using the “3/4 square” principle. Its advantage is its versatility.
Option one - classic form as shown in Fig. 4, photo 10.
Knit the fabric of such a cup from the wide part of the AB upwards. Match the small sides and sew. On a cup top, place the seam under the bust or on top depending on your taste. You will get the same cup shape when knitting a square according to pattern 7.
Option two - Fig. 5: cast on VP along the BAB line and knit with increases in the middle of the fabric (point A). Align points B and sew the cup along a straight line BVB* to the top fabric. The central part of the fabric will look more interesting if it is knitted with a simple and fairly dense pattern, for example, “rogul-kami” according to pattern 8, or another at your discretion.

Option three - a cup in which one (Fig. 6) or every third of the canvas (Fig. 7) consists of a square motif will look impressive. In photo 11, the bodice is formed by three classically knitted squares from the center.
Option four — diagram 9. General view in photo 12. The same small square at the base of the cup. Knit the remaining 2/3 of the fabric with RLS on both sides of the square without any increments.
Pay attention to the dart at the bottom of the cup. Knit two or three of them depending on the size. The upper part of the cup can be knitted openwork, as in diagram 10. It is shown in close-up that on one side of the square there is a rounding connected.

Option five according to scheme 11. Look at the general view of the canvas in Fig. 8. This is how it will turn out when knitting from line AB up. To round the shape, knit the inside of the fabric in half-columns. On the right side of the fabric, knit decreases, and the upper part - partial knitting. The VG lines horizontally and vertically must be the same, they need to be sewn. Cups of this shape fit very comfortably on breasts of any size. If you want to have a beautiful product, but not knit a bodice, you can knit guipure elements and sew them on your favorite bra so that it is not visible. An openwork fabric sewn at the bottom will turn it into a spectacular top.

Every fashionista wants to show off a unique outfit, and needlewomen are no exception. If you knit for yourself or to order, we suggest you crochet a dress. What it will be like and for whom – depends only on you.

There is a desire? Are your eyes burning? Are your hands ready to work? But you don't know where to start? First of all, you should decide: at what time you or your client will wear a crocheted dress.

Yes, crocheted dresses made of cashmere or acrylic can be worn comfortably in winter under a layer of outerwear, but in warm weather you want to show off your knitted product.

Yarn selection

For summer models, it is better to choose natural yarn.

Fine yarn is suitable, the main component of which is cotton or bamboo fiber. Microfiber, acrylic, lycra or viscose present in the thread will give the product additional properties.
Crochet dress models with openwork elements at the waist, neckline or along the contour of the product look very impressive.

The base of the dress is crocheted number 1, 2 or 3. The openwork of the elements is achieved by using a larger hook or including elements with a large number of air loops.

If you are a beginner, you can crochet a children's summer sundress or a straight model dress gathered with a drawstring or belt. For such a dress there is no need to make patterns and fit tightly to the figure.

There are many models of incredibly feminine dresses that are suitable for both a gala evening and a romantic date. Crochet dresses are most often light and openwork. But this is logical; for crochet, most patterns are airy and summery. The most chic is a crocheted dress using the Irish lace technique. Only the most experienced craftswomen will undertake the creation of such a masterpiece.

Which yarn to choose for a warm crocheted dress?

Thicker yarn is suitable for crocheting dresses intended to be worn during cold periods. The warmest items will be those knitted from yarn that is at least 50% wool. But be careful, if the thread contains 70% wool or more, the product may turn out to be prickly. Choose imported yarn or merino to keep the wool soft.

The presence of acrylic in such yarn makes the knitted dress soft, airy and voluminous. Even on the coldest winter evening you will feel comfortable in it.
It is better to knit such a product with thicker hooks, number 4 or 5.

To this day, the model of a winter dress, knitted like a sweater with a high cowl neck and length to mid-thigh or just above the knee, looks quite popular.

Among all the variety of summer knitted clothes on hot days, the clear favorites are tops. They are divided into two types: either it is a bodice, which was supplemented with linen, or it is a knitted fabric, in which attention was focused on the decor. The crocheted bodice, patterns and descriptions of which will be reflected in this article, has recently become no longer a part of women's clothing, but rather an element of the wardrobe. They have already stopped hiding it. On the contrary, attention is focused on it due to the originality of knitting and decoration.

Bodice shapes

Crochet bodice, diagrams and descriptionwhich will be given in this article, can be made exclusively to individual sizes. It is quite suitable for those ladies who have impressive breasts, and for those who have miniature ones. And depending on which craftswoman likes what more, and on the physical characteristics of the woman who will wear this bodice, a certain knitting technique and its shape are chosen.

As a rule, experienced needlewomen believe that crocheting a bodice (patterns and descriptions will be presented) should be done using a regular single crochet or with a single crochet. Thanks to this knitting, the fabric produced will be much denser and will maintain the required shape.

You can find a lot of different shapes that will be suitable for a bodice as an independent type of clothing, or as part of a dress or a neat top. Usually a triangle shape is used and a rectangular fabric is draped. The only difference is in the way the different parts are knitted.

Three quarters

Quite often, a crochet top bodice (the diagram and description will help you figure out how to do everything correctly) is crocheted using a method called “3/4 square.” There are several ways to use it:

1. Classic version. The cup can be knitted from the widest part upwards. When the work is done, the small sides need to be tied together. This is how the volume of the bodice detail is obtained. The seam will be under the bust and will be a dart.

2. You should cast on the required number of chain stitches and knit the fabric using increases along the midline. After this, you can knit the break line, and the finished bodice is sewn to the dress or top.

3. The bodice consists of small square pieces. Moreover, there may be only one part, or maybe three. The bodices that are knitted from classic squares, knitted only to the middle, look quite unusual.

From the middle

A good choice would be a bodice that consists of three triangles and is knitted from the middle.

This bodice is explained in detail how everything should be done) it is quite convenient to knit, and it’s easy to choose the pattern patterns yourself. And the triangles can be joined using lace fillet stitch.

In order to make the cups more convex, if necessary, their edges should be tied with single crochets, which should be slightly smaller than the side loops. This will tighten the edges of the face and achieve the desired shape.

Openwork

Another option is a completely openwork bodice. As a rule, it is knitted in the round, starting from the middle. Just like working on a napkin. In this case, a convex shape will not work, so the craftswoman chooses: leave it as is or carefully tie it with a drawstring.

A knitted top can be connected to a dress using the same threads with which it was made. You can also make a crocheted swimsuit bodice (the diagrams and descriptions will tell you how to do this). In such a swimsuit, any girl will be one of the most beautiful on the beach.

Bodice with underwire

If the craftswoman wants the crocheted bodice (the diagrams and descriptions make it possible to figure out what and how to do) to be more voluminous, then it is possible to knit the bodice with underwires.

For this work you will need: bones, for lining take a knitted mesh, cotton (stretch) threads are suitable, a hook, a needle and sewing threads that match the color.

First you need to find out the length of the bones and cut off a suitable (taking into account the hem) knitted tape. Before you start stitching, the mesh is folded in four layers wide - in half. Now wrap the bone with material and sew it with a simple needle. When finished, cut off excess fabric.

In order to continue working as conveniently as possible, you need to prepare a ready-made bodice, which will contain the desired cup as a sample. The number of air loops is not difficult to calculate yourself, based on the pattern and density of knitting.

This is how you need to crochet the bodice. Schemes and descriptions of the workflow are presented in this article. The cup consists of a top and a bottom petal. It is from the bottom that you need to start working:

Three chain loops are cast on, a single crochet is made in the middle loop - in this simple way a triangle is obtained;

Since the lower petal is knitted from the inner corner of the bra, the size that should be obtained is checked using increases;

When the work comes to the middle, there is no need to add loops, the knitting goes along one line;

The sample should always be in front of your eyes, you need to check it all the time, applying each row to the product.

End of work

The upper part of the cup must be knitted without any increases, strictly in a straight line. The craftswoman chooses the pattern at will. The height of the upper part depends on the individual characteristics of the woman.

To insert the prepared seeds into the cups, you will need to knit an additional five to seven rows, made in a single crochet along the bottom edge of the work. The bones should be wrapped in the bottom rows and hemmed with regular thread.

Now the finished product can be decorated - tied with additional details or beautiful patterns. The cups are connected to each other by beadsorwith ribbons knitted from the same yarn as the product itself.
