***This is NOT a physical product***
This pattern is intended for an advanced beginner and beyond crochet skill level. It is written in US terms. This Bralette was designed by Elizabeth Gonsalves and debuted in Trinidad, a sunny, tropical, twin island located in the Caribbean, also known as Trinidad and Tobago. I used 100% Cotton Yarn for this Project. The white yarn did not have a brand & the variegated yarn was from Sugar N Cream, both of which seemed to be weight 4 yarns. To make this bralette you will need 2 different color ways of yarn. It is worked flat from the top down using the Waffle Diamond Stitch & also there will be no snipping of yarn & minimal ends to weave in throughout unless you need to add another skein of yarn once one is finished. I have sectioned the steps into 3 parts. These include making the majority
of the bralette using mainly Single crochets, Double crochets & Front Post Treble crochets, then the straps will be made while creating a border around the bralette & lastly the bottom pompom stitches will be made! Please read through the pattern before starting to familiarize yourself with the process.
General Notes:
I recommend using a natural fiber yarn. Weight 3 or 4 Yarn is recommended to achieve the fit as shown in photos here. But you can also use any weight yarn of your choice!
You can use this pattern to make this Bralette for yourself, friends, family members or to make custom pieces to sell to others online. However, distributing this written pattern on any online platform to anyone is strictly not allowed.
