Hey there, I’m Krystal Everdeen and welcome to my guide on how to crochet a cup for a crochet top. I use this method for each of my crochet tops that require triangular cups. I think it is the easiest way to make them and hope you are able to easily follow along! However, if you think you may need a more detailed version of this guide, please feel free to watch my video tutorial on how to crochet a cup. I will leave a link to it at the bottom of this guide. Enjoy!
Also, if you didn’t already know, I make crochet tutorials on my Youtube channel, Krystal Everdeen. I have a variety of tops ranging from crop tops like this, to bikinis, halter tops, sweaters, and more!
Then chain 10.
Then go back on that chain of ten with a single crochet. You are going to crochet a whole row of single crochet by making one single crochet inside of every chain.
Once you reach the end of the row, you are going to chain one.
After you have chained one at the end, you are going to flip the project over.
Once flipped over, you are going to go back on the row of single crochet you just created with another row of single crochet on top of it.
From the end (the chain one) make sure that you go into the very first stitch at the end of the row. This is very important.
Similar to how to single crocheted on the chain, you are going create a single crochet inside of every stitch in the previous row of single crochet.
However, once you reach the end of this row, you are no longer going to crochet horizontally as you normally would. You are going to flip the project vertically and go into the middle stitch.
Within that middle stitch, you are going to crochet 3 single crochets within that same stitch. 
This is going to serve as the point of your cup, forming the project into a triangle.
After you have created your 3 single crochets inside of that one middle stitch, you are going to go down the opposite end of the project and complete a row of single crochet.
Once you reach the end of that row,
you are going to chain one,
Flip the project over,
make sure that you go into the very first stitch,
and create another row of single crochet towards the point of the cup.
Once you reach the point, you are going to again find the middle stitch, then crochet 3 single crochets within that one middle stitch.
After creating those 3 single crochets, you are then going to go down the opposite side with a single crochet until you reach the end of the row. 
Once you reach the end of the row,
Once you reach the end of the row, you are going to chain one, flip the project over, go into the very first stitch, then continue up the rest of the row with single crochet until you reach the point. Once you reach the point, you will find the middle stitch and create 3 single crochets within the one stitch.
Afterwards, you will continue down the opposite side with single crochet until you reach the end of the row and so on and so forth until your project grows, and grows, and grows and it is finally the size you need for adequate coverage.
I normally just put the cup against myself as if I were going to wear it and determine if I am finished with the project or not by how much coverage it provides. 
After you have completed the first cup, simply cut the yarn from the yarn ball- making sure to leave a bit of excess yarn at the end- and begin on your second cup.
How to Attach Two Cups (Crochet Top)
Make the second cup the exact same way as you did the first. However, once you have finished the second cup, there is no need to cut the yarn from the yarn ball if you are going to crochet a top (you can if you want to, but you don’t have to. I personally like to cut my yarn as few times as possible per project, but it’s up to you).
To attach the cups, insert your hook into the last loop of your first up and the last loop of your second cup. Then, wrap the excess yarn from the first cup around your hook along with the yarn from the yarn ball (or the excess yarn from the second cup) and pull them through both the loops, creating one loop.
After that, they are attached and you can continue making your crochet top, bikini, etc.
Sorry about the pictures changing from yarn color and background color- I didn’t realize that I was missing a few steps when I took the photos, but hey, I found a way! (aka, I took screenshots from some of my other crochet top tutorials to show specific steps). Regardless, I hope you were able to find this handy and helpful!
