Step-by-Step Detailed Pattern

1. Starting the Bra Cup (Make 2)

Foundation Chain:
- Create a slipknot.
- Chain 15 sts.
- Measure your chain to ensure it is 6.5cm wide (adjust accordingly).
Row 1:
- Flip the chain so the "belly" of the chain is facing up.
- Work into the back loops of the chain:
  - Dc into the 5th ch from the hook (skip 4 chains).
  - Dc into each st across for 13 stitches (13 dc total).
- Into the last ch, work:
  - 3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc (this creates the corner for the cup).
- Continue working dc down the other side of the chain for 14 dc total.
  - Mark the last st.
Row 2:
- Turn your work. Chain 3 (counts as the first dc).
- Dc into each st across the row.
- At the corner (ch-1 space):
  - 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc.
- Continue dc across the row. End with 17 sts on each side of the corner.
Rows 3–7:
- Repeat Row 2:
  - Always work 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc into the corner (ch-1 space).
  - Increase the stitch count progressively by adding 1 st per side in each row.
- After Row 7, fasten off the first bra cup and leave a long tail for finishing.

Tip: The number of rows may vary depending on the size of your bust. Use the measurements provided as a guideline, and adjust as needed.

2. Joining the Bra Cups

Take the first completed cup and attach the working yarn to the second cup (do not fasten off the second).
Use single crochet (sc) stitches to join both cups at the inner edges:
- Insert the hook into the last dc of Cup 1 and sc into the corresponding st of Cup 2.
- Repeat across the inner edge until connected.
Once joined:
- Work sc along the remaining edge of Cup 2, up the middle seam, and along the edge of Cup 1.
- This creates a seamless and clean connection.

3. Underbust and Bodice

Working the Underbust

Measure your underbust circumference and subtract the total width of both cups (15cm per cup):
- For example, if your underbust is 75cm, the remaining width is 45cm divided between the front and back.
Chain the additional length for the side straps:
- For a 45cm gap: Chain approx. 50 sts per side (adjust according to your measurements).
- Attach one chain to each side of the bra cups.

Bodice Construction

Once the chains are attached:
- Work Row 1 across the foundation chains using dc stitches (into each chain or st).
- At the center of each bra cup, work 1 sc into every st.
- Repeat for both sides.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until the desired bodice length is achieved.

4. Ruffle Section

Attach yarn to the bottom edge of the bodice.
Row 1:
- Chain 3 (counts as dc). Work dc into each st across the edge.
Row 2 (Ruffle Pattern):
- Chain 3.
- Work 2 dc into each st across the row.
- This will increase the stitch count, forming the ruffles.
Repeat Row 2 for 6 rows or until the desired ruffle length is achieved.

5. Straps

For each strap:
- Attach yarn to the upper corner of the bra cup.
- Chain 200 (approx. 100cm).
- Slip stitch to secure.
- Repeat for the second strap.
Weave in any remaining loose ends.

Finishing the Pattern

Edging: Add a simple sc or slip stitch edging around the bra cups and bodice for a polished finish.
Blocking: Lightly block the finished piece to set the shape and even out edges.

Conclusion and Tips

Customization:
- Adjust the cup size, strap length, and ruffle volume based on measurements.
- Experiment with yarn colors or add decorative edging for a personal touch.
Corrections:
- Ensure even tension for consistent stitch sizing.
- Double-check measurements after each section.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash with gentle detergent.
- Lay flat to dry to maintain its shape.

This pattern results in a cute PR shirt, perfect for summer or as a fashion statement. The detailed ruffles and fitted cups create a flattering, feminine silhouette.
