The Thistle Top is a romantic, cottagecore-inspired crochet bralette featuring softly shaped cups, delicate lace detailing, and fully adjustable construction for a dreamy, made-to-measure fit and multiple different customisations available to make this the bralette of your dreams.

Designed with DK weight yarn and half double crochet as the structural base, this top offers both comfort and support for multiple cup sizes.

The underbust fan and picot lace is worked directly into the foundation, making it supportive while still decorative. The optional cup edging creates a scalloped finish that is meant to imitate wildflower petals.

This pattern is designed as a made-to-measure piece. A sizing guide is included with example stitch counts for cup sizes A–E, along with modification tips for underbust width, strap length, and support. I have tested this for a NZ size 10 tops with D cups.
