Product Description
This bralette is great for everyday use or as a bikini top. I love the fit and the feel wearing it. It is beautiful, enhances your beaty and gives you enough support. Adjustable straps with buttons are amazing, they stay in place if you choose the right button, you can adjust them in any time. Straps can be worn straight or crossed in the back. If you fancy you can tie the straps behind your neck.

Iris Bralette Crochet Pattern
What is Being Made
The Iris bralette is a crocheted intimate apparel piece designed by Izabela Firlová. This garment is constructed from the bottom up, with cups added after the main body is complete. The bralette features a lacing back closure and button-fastened straps, making it a customizable and adjustable piece. The pattern is sized to accommodate multiple bust measurements, ranging from 60 cm (23.6 inches) to 85 cm (32.6 inches) under-bust circumference.
Crochet Techniques and Construction Method
This beginner-level crochet pattern employs a straightforward bottom-up construction technique. The garment begins with a foundation chain worked in multiples of six plus one stitch, which establishes the width of the bralette's main body. The pattern specifies that the initial chain should be several inches smaller than the actual under-bust measurement to accommodate the lacing gap in the back. After the foundation chain is established, the crocheter works in rows, turning after each row to build the height of the piece. Once the main body is complete, cups are added as a separate component, and the back is finished with lacing. Straps are then attached with buttons for secure fastening.
Stitches Used
The Iris bralette pattern utilizes fundamental crochet stitches suitable for beginners:
- Chain stitch (ch) – Forms the foundation and is used throughout the pattern
- Single crochet (sc) – A basic short stitch for structure
- Double crochet (dc) – A medium-height stitch for fabric drape
- Triple crochet (tr) – A taller stitch for openness and texture
- Slip stitch (ss) – Used for joining and finishing
The pattern notation indicates that stitches worked into the same stitch are marked with parentheses, and repeated sections are marked with double asterisks (**) to show where pattern repeats occur.
Materials and Gauge
The Iris bralette is worked with 4-ply yarn in a fingering or sport weight cotton, requiring approximately 170 meters of yarn. A 3 mm crochet hook is used to work the pattern. The gauge for this pattern is 14 rows to 24 stitches over a 4-inch square, which is important for achieving the correct fit and drape of the finished bralette.
Additional notions required include 2 buttons (the designer used 1.6 mm buttons, though slightly smaller buttons are acceptable; buttons should not be smaller than 1 cm) and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and assembling the piece. The cotton yarn choice provides a lightweight, breathable fabric suitable for intimate wear, while the sport weight ensures the finished bralette will have an appropriate amount of stretch and comfort.
