European 4 in 1 Bra: Alternate
Article © MAIL User: cohort

The only thing difficult about this pattern is the center "knot row" "180-degree bend", which I will show step-by-step below.

This is the place I start when making this style bra, because I tend to offset it.

Step 1: simple unit chain - this one is "five units" long (European 4 in 1)..


Step 2: add the surrounding rings for the next row..


Step 3: add the "knot" ring..


(closeup)


Step 4: add two rings to the "knot" to form the surrounding row..


Step 5: second surrounding row (note expansion ring)..


From here, continue outward along the central ridge with a "45 degree" joint and fill in the bottom field rows..

To make this bra, I used equal widths on each side of the joint, but you should experiment for the best fit.
