Crochet Bikini Bra Pattern
Row 1: Ch 10
Row 2: Ch 2 (or fdc, counts as first dc), dc in next 8 ch, (3dc ch1 3dc) in last ch, dc in next 9 ch on the opposite side of chain, turn
Row 3: chain 2, dc in each dc, (3dc ch1 3dc) in ch space, dc in each dc to end, turn
Row 4 and Row 5: repeat row 3
Row 6: chain 2, dc in next 2 dc, ch1, skip next dc, dc in next 3 dc, repeat ** to end, turn
Row 7: 6 dc shell stitch in each chain space, optionally along bottom edge as well

Fits 32B/34A bra size (pictured). For larger cup sizes, repeat row 3 until desired size is reached, before working rows 6 and 7.

Weave braided yarn through gaps made by row 6 to add boning-like structure to the cup. This prevents revealing of contents when bending forwards.
