Product Description
These crochet pattern notes are for a cup size 38D, which is XXL, but I have provided the size chart I use for all bigger and smaller cup sizes.
The color used in crochet tops is mustard yellow, but the top goes well with any other bright colors, i.e., red, turquoise, blue, orange, and nude brown. These are just a few of my recommendations, but the colors can be varied on a wider scale.

Simple Brallete Top with Pompom by Bobo Stitches
What Is Being Made
The Simple Brallete Top with Pompom is a beginner-friendly crochet bralette designed as a comfortable, casual top. This project features decorative pompoms as a stylish accent detail. The pattern includes sizing options ranging from XS to XL, with corresponding bra cup sizes from 32A through 40D, making it adaptable for various body types and measurements.
Crochet Techniques and Methods
This bralette top is constructed using fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The pattern employs a straightforward approach that relies primarily on basic stitch work and assembly methods. Designers and crafters working with this pattern will practice essential skills including understanding gauge, measuring tension, and adjusting dimensions based on personal gauge measurements. The pattern notes that while different gauges are acceptable for this project, consistency in measurement is key to achieving the correct finished dimensions.
Stitches Used
The Simple Brallete Top is predominantly made using double crochet (dc) stitches, which form the main fabric structure. The pattern also incorporates the following essential stitches:
- Single crochet (sc) – used for shaping and detail work
- Slip stitch (sl st) – used for joining rounds and finishing edges
This limited stitch palette makes the project accessible to crocheters new to the craft while still producing a polished, wearable garment.
Materials and Tools
The Simple Brallete Top requires minimal materials, making it an economical project. The pattern calls for 2 balls of Robin yarn weight 3 in 100% acrylic, with each ball containing 630–635 yards, providing ample yardage for the complete project. A 4.0 mm crochet hook is used to work the yarn at the specified gauge of 14 stitches by 8 rows over 4 inches in double crochet.
Additional tools needed include a tapestry needle (also called a yarn needle) for weaving in ends and assembling pieces, a tape measure for checking dimensions and fit, and scissors for cutting yarn. These basic supplies are standard in most crochet kits.
Sizing and Customization
The pattern provides detailed cup sizing information to ensure proper fit. Cup widths range from 5 inches for size A to 8.5 inches for size E, with corresponding bra sizes listed for each XS through XL option. This sizing structure allows crocheters to select the appropriate size based on standard bra measurements, ensuring a comfortable and well-fitting finished garment.
Difficulty Level
Rated as beginner level, the Simple Brallete Top is ideal for crocheters who are new to the craft or returning to crochet after a break. The straightforward stitch selection and clear pattern structure make this an excellent project for building confidence and fundamental crochet skills.
