25 crochet projects to make INSTEAD of a bralette 💌 (with pattern suggestions!!!)

Рет қаралды 32,305

Күн бұрын

Crochet bralettes are low-key really hard to make as a beginner, so I wanted to share lots of other crochet projects you could make instead! This video will also be for you if you're stuck for ideas and are looking for a fun project to get you going again, sometimes it's easy to forget all the possibilities that are out there with crochet :) I tried to gather lots of unique and easy patterns to go along with my references so you are able to recreate these projects yourself 💌 (and if you enjoy making granny squares, you will love a lot of these patterns!!)
* I tried to tag as many references as I could, the references that aren’t tagged I either couldn’t find the owner of or they are my own images*

as someone who always need to follow a pattern, i really appreciate how you're trying to help us create our own projects without the need to follow a specific pattern

@averpmakes 11 ай бұрын

this is something i’m so so passionate about!!! i really struggle following patterns, so learning how to freehand or modify patterns made crochet & knitting a lot much for enjoyable for me

@JB-el6le 11 ай бұрын

Omg love the Miu Miu top! We need a tutorial for that. If we can make dupes for designer crochet thats a win win 😄

I might have to! It’s a fairly quick make as well 😍

@stompingliger 11 ай бұрын

I highly recommend the Horizon cardigan pattern by Hobbii. It’s free, very beginner friendly, whips up fast and best of all it’s made by measuring the piece so it doesn’t matter if you crochet loosely or tightly.

@averpmakes 11 ай бұрын

I love a pattern that uses measuring 😍 thank you for sharing!!!

I also never follow patterns and also really enjoy just freehanding so there is definitely nothing wrong with that

I loved every single idea I already made a mesh long sleeve top, a granny square vest (my best project ever) and I’m finishing my raglan crop top (my new favorite) I started with wearables this year and now I can’t stop doing them

Omg thank you so much!! I love the look of crochet bralettes on other people but I have finally come to accept that these boobs were not made to be held up by two pieces of yarn 😂

@goslingduck 10 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for these fun alternatives!! And, um, just a note on potholders/ oven mitts, for anyone who doesn't know already... (I received this warning from my dad years ago, when I was learning about welding, but the idea applies here.) Your safest bet is going to be 100% natural fibers, like cotton or wool. They may shrink with heat, but if they encounter high temperatures or fire, they will basically burn to ash, and not cause you any harm once they're done burning. Synthetic materials tend to melt rather than burn properly, and can make your first-aid/ healing process more difficult, should you get burned through a potholder. (Because you may then have to deal with burns that have fibers or plastic melted on.) There are some synthetics that are made to withstand heat, like quilt batting for sewing potholders, though. I'm not aware of any synthetic yarns that are heat-safe, so please be careful!

Thank you for clarifying!!! Super helpful for people to know

Not usually a granny square person but your right, they can look so different with different color ways, the pink mohair sweater looks adorable!

@averpmakes 11 ай бұрын

it's so cute, isn't it! I think using different fibres and colours for the granny squares definitely makes them more interesting :))

I am keen to get into tapestry crochet! I've done a few wall hangings with color changes with macrame but never crochet and love what you can do with it! I made monstera coasters a while back and highly recommend them for plant lovers. Not only were they fun to make but they look great and are functional (I didn't initially think they would be, ha) :)

I’m currently making a granny square sweater inspired by ur white and black granny square sweater but I’m getting stuck on the neckline. I think you said on tiktok that you knit the collar/ribbing, but I was curious if you did any extra neck shaping or just worked around the square shape of the neckhole (hopefully that makes sense)? Would also love a video on granny square projects as I’m such a sucker for them !!

@averpmakes 11 ай бұрын

how exciting, please do share the final outcome I’d love to see it! 😍 Yes I knit the neckline etc. in ribbing and just knit around the squares as they are, it automatically falls around the neck in a round shape

I’m still figuring that out as well! I’m currently filming a whole video just in making different scrunchies but I haven’t gotten to the crochet one yet 🙈 i linked a pattern in the description if you wanted to try it
