     Save

3. Third Row of Border (DC Only)
   • Work a DC row around the square (including all corners).
   • Finish the square by weaving in the ends and blocking it to shape (optional but recommended for a clean finish).

2: Create Sunburst Granny Triangles (Qty: 3)

Follow these steps for each triangle:

1. Start with a sunburst granny triangle motif.
2. Work additional rows:
   • First Row: Half-double crochet into every stitch. At the top corner, add 1 HDC, chain 2, 1 HDC.
   • Second Row (DC with spaces): Work DC stitches with spaces (as done for the square). Add 1 DC, chain 2, 1 DC in the corner.

     Save
3. Block the triangles for shape consistency.

3: Assemble the Bralette

1. Placement of Pieces:
   • Arrange the two squares as the main body of the bralette (side-by-side like a "V"), and position the three triangles along the bottom edge to create a stylish, scalloped finish.
2. Stitching Panels:
   • Use an invisible stitch to connect the squares and attach triangles. Work through the back loops only to ensure a seamless look.

4: Add Straps

1. Create Drawstring Straps:
   • Use a braided or twisted cord technique for long, sturdy drawstrings. This will allow for adjustable straps.
   • Attach straps to the top corners of the squares with a secure loop or tie-off.
     Save
2. Cross the straps to attach to opposite triangles for a crisscross back design.

 5: Add an Optional Hem (Recommended)

If you'd like to add a polished, professional finish:

1. Create a bottom edge with rows of single crochet, half-double crochet, and double crochet for a tapered effect.
   Save
2. Add a final row using a space stitch pattern (chain-1 spaces between stitches) for an airy, delicate touch.

Suggestions from the Tutor

• Blocking: Block your squares and triangles for a crisp and even finish. A simple crochet wooden piece with nails works perfectly for this.
• Larger Bust Adjustment: Add extra rows to the sunburst square or triangle or opt for thicker yarn to increase coverage effortlessly.
