How to Crochet Cups in All Sizes Easily and Quickly | Step by Step

and well guys, to learn how to crochet these bra cups, I'm going to use a 100% acrylic macrame thread remember that if you are going to crochet a swimsuit, you must use a special thread this thread comes to be crocheted with a 2.5 millimeter hook but the secret to crocheting a bra cup is to use a medium or smaller hook recommended by the thread in this case I'm going to use this 2 millimeter this is how we realize that the hook is smaller slip knot and we are going to crochet chains the number of chains we crochet depends on the size we are going to crochet for example once we have them ready, the chains should look like this to measure them we take the measuring tape, in my case I am going to crochet a size M to crochet the size M, these chains must measure 7 centimeters long then we hold them from end to end we are going to stretch them a little and we measure them in my case for these 7 centimeters they gave me 18 chains but remember that depending on the thickness of the thread you are using and the tension with which you crochet, they can give you more or less chains not necessarily for all size M it must be 18 chains for example, for a size XS you crochet chains until you complete 6 centimeters for a size S up to 6.5 centimeters size M 7 centimeters size L 7.5 centimeters and size XL 8 centimeters but if you want this measure to fit perfectly, the ideal thing to do is measure from the base of the bust to the center and that measurement in centimeters is the number of base chains that you are going to crochet having the necessary number of chains for each size we are going to start crocheting the first row for this we hold the last chain in my case this is the chain number 18, remember that this number can vary crochet 2 chains yarn over and we are going to return in double crochet in the last chain that we hold, that is, in the third chain from the crochet hook we are going to crochet the first double crochet in the double crochet we have 3 loops yarn over and we are going to crochet 2 double crochet in the next chain we have 3 loops in this way you already have 3 double crochet because the two chains with which I took height are equivalent to the first double crochet now we are going to continue crocheting a double crochet over each chain until we get here to the first chain and when we get to the end we crochet the last available chain here I already have 19 double crochet even though I started with 18 chains because I remind you that the two chains with which I took height add one more double crochet then to continue these bra cups are knitted like this and like this we are going to turn side to side to make the turn we have to make an increase to make that increase being here in the last available hole where we just crocheted the last stitch the pattern of the increase for all sizes is going to be the same this pattern is going to be 2 double crochet 1 chain and 2 double crochet I am crocheting everything inside the same hole in this way we make the increase to turn and start crocheting on the other side then once we finish our pattern of increase what we have to do is simply crochet double crochet over each double crochet that we just crocheted we start the first double crochet inside the same hole in this first row it is in the only row where in the center there will be 3 double crochet, 1 chain and 3 double crochet in this way I have already completed my increase to start crocheting on this side whenever we are going to start crocheting on this side we are going to take advantage of this little tail that we have here and we are going to hide it as we crochet yarn over and look, the first stitch is made here this little knot is always going to appear what we are going to do is try to turn it back I take it and I start crocheting the first double crochet here and I continue crocheting double crochet in each little hole this is how each little hole looks we are going to continue crocheting in each little hole until the end of this first row this is how it should look and when we get to the end the penultimate double crochet is crocheted here in the little hole that appears and the last double crochet as such we have to crochet it here on the second chain with which we take height our first row should look like this here I have remember that we started with 18 chains, right? these 18 chains when I started crocheting the double crochet with the two chains with which I took height as they added an additional stitch I had 19 double crochet and here in the center when I made the increase I made two additional double crochet that means that in this first row from the base to the little hole in the center that is, to where we have this separation chain I have 21 double crochet on this side and from the increase to the base I have 21 double crochet also on this side we always have to verify that the same number of stitches that you have from here to here is the same for each side as you go around I'm going to increase two stitches on each side finished the first row to start the second row chain 2 turn the fabric chain 2 turn the fabric yarn over and what we are going to do is crochet a double crochet on each double crochet until we get here to the little hole of the chain I should crochet counting these two chains they will always count as the first double crochet until the little hole in the center I should have 21 double crochet in my case because of the number of chains that I started to start crocheting this little hole we are going to skip because these two chains are the equivalent to have that stitch we start on the side double crochet on each double crochet when we put the little hole in the little hole we make sure to go through it we bring the yarn and we continue crocheting a double crochet on each double crochet when we get to the center we have to crochet a double crochet before the center and here where I have the chain in the center I am going to crochet the increase pattern that will be the same for all sizes and in all rows 2 double crochet 1 chain and 2 double crochet all inside the same little hole then we just continue crocheting double crochet until we get here yarn over here when we are going to start the first double crochet after the increase this little hole sometimes hides remember to take it out to crochet it continue crocheting at the end of the second row we have to crochet in the little holes here I have one the penultimate double crochet I do it here in this little hole and the last double crochet as such I always have to remember to crochet it here in the second chain with which I took height there we are always going to crochet at the end of the second row it looks like this here in the first row I had 21 double crochet from the base to the center of the little hole as I increased with 2 stitches here in the second row I have from the center of the little hole to the base 23 double crochet on this side and 23 double crochet on this side always with each row I am going to increase 2 stitches on each side to start the third and all the rows from now on crochet 2 chains turn, yarn over remember that the first double crochet we are not going to crochet it in this little hole because the two chains with which I took height are like that stitch I start crocheting in the stitch next to it and from now on the only thing we are going to do to build our bra cup is to repeat exactly the same making the increase here in the center remember that the pattern of the increase in this little hole are 2 double crochet, 1 chain and 2 double crochet and always the last double crochet we are going to crochet it here in the second chain with which we take height as you go if the bra cup starts to become a little concave it is perfectly normal because we are crocheting with a smaller needle this causes my fabric to shrink a little so I'm going to continue remember that the only thing we are going to do is repeat exactly the same until we achieve the necessary measure and when we get to the end the bra cup should look like this here is the shape that I was telling you for size M of 9 rows to know how much each bra cup should measure once it is ready we are going to stretch it well and size M should measure from here to here 14.5 centimeters you can measure 14.5 or 15 centimeters it is very good and long from the tip to here it should measure 15.5 centimeters if it measures 15.5 or 16 centimeters it is also very good here on the screen I am leaving you a series of images with the exact relationship of measures for each size once we have the measure we are going to try it if you are crocheting it for yourself I suggest that you crochet and measure it because sometimes the width may be insufficient then when trying it the ideal is that we put it like this from below we stretch the top and it looks like this in this way this is how a bra cup looks perfectly adjusted to the bust a question that I get a lot is which is going to be the right and the reverse of the bra cup in reality it does not have a right or a reverse you can use any of the two I personally I really like how it looks this way when this part of the center looks very tight I always take this side as the right that is, the one that is out but if you want if you turn it like this you can also use this side as the right the only thing is that this part looks a little wider it all depends on personal taste I like how it looks this way I hope this tutorial is useful thank you very much for watching and see you in the next video see you later
