This pattern is written “measure yourself” style- meaning it can be scaled to any size you’d like using your measurements, with any yarn of your choosing. This pattern does NOT contain specific stitch counts, sizes, yardage, or gauges!

With a timeless fit, Stella is sure to be your new favourite top for music festivals, beach days and more! This charming bralette features darts along the chest to form best to your natural shape. The open back and convertible straps mean you can adjust the top to fit your body like a glove. Stitch it up solid coloured, or try the multicoloured “Retro Wave” version!

This pattern works best with sport weight yarn. Use Mercerized Cotton if you intend to use this as a swimsuit top!

MATERIALS REQUIRED

IMPORTANT: Yardage, hook size, and gauge will all vary depending on the size and weight of materials used, due to the nature of how this pattern is written. I used 200m (approx) of a sport weight yarn and a 2.5mm hook to make a top that fits as US Women’s Extra Small or 34A/B Bra Size.

Stella is an INTERMEDIATE level crochet pattern- This design uses techniques such as increasing and decreasing using a stitch pattern. It is recommended to have some experience with making garments before trying this project!
