Pink corset

💖Hello everyone, today I want to share something a bit different — a pink crochet corset I made recently.

This project actually started with a couple of very unusual balls of yarn. I had no idea what to do with them, and I couldn’t find any information about the brand. It honestly looked like it had spent a decade or more in someone’s attic.

The yarn was 100% cotton, good quality, not very thick, but extremely stiff. It had a mix of shiny and matte sections, and working with it felt a bit like crocheting with wire.

At first, I thought it would be better suited for something like a bag or a basket. But the soft pink colour, slightly shiny, felt too delicate for that. Then I found some pearl beads in almost the exact same shade, and that’s when the idea of making a corset appeared.

Corsets need structure and stiffness, so this yarn actually made perfect sense.

I used a simple but very effective stitch pattern that creates a 3D texture, helping the segments of the corset stand out more. I added a decorative edge at the bottom with the pearl beads and finished it with a pink chiffon lace.

You can see the result in the video below. I’m honestly very proud of how this project turned out.

I also found the same yarn in a bright green colour, but I’ve already started using it for a summer bag, so no second corset for now. Still, I really enjoyed working on this piece.
