When summer season hits, you want your beach or pool style to stand out. So this crochet bralette top is one of the best crochet project you could ever need to make for beach days. These are my favorite crochet projects I could ever want to work on all the time because they are super quick to whip up and are suitable for the hot weather.

This lace crochet bralette top is so comfortable, light wear, and stylish.  You can make it in any bold, and bright colors of your choice. If you’ve ever wanted to crochet summer tops for women/ girls either to give away as gifts or sell at craft fairs before then you will absolutely love this easy crochet bralette top pattern. You can easily whip it up in only few hours. Everything about this crochet trendy bra top pattern is unique, simple and so adorable.

This see through bralette top is worked by making bra cups first separately, join them together, and add 2 long straps that are worked on top of each bra cup’s top for crossing at the back of your neck and tied at your back.

In case you would want to make bigger bra cups then I will suggest you to add more rows before you ch 1 and cut the yarn off for the first bra cup, and before you moved on to the second bra cup, and vice versa for smaller bra cup sizes, by following measurements for different bra sizes in the chart provided, or trying it on yourself or use one of your favorite bra cups for accurate measurements. Straps are made long enough to be tied at the back of a wearer.
