When crocheting bikinis, it is important to do a crochet gauge swatch since sizing is important. You can also do a test wash of that swatch to determine if the yarn is suitable to get wet regularly. When selecting your fashion fabric, the best choice is something that's specifically marketed for use in swimwear, since it will provide the right amount of stretch, water absorption, and colorfastness. Try searching under the performance fabric category of a few online fabric stores to find your favorite print. This is how the bikini should like after completed Triangle 1 and Triangle 2. I didn't hide the yarn ends in the picture (as instructed in the pattern) just to show you where the crochet begins and ends.

Brown Cow Print Thong Bikini Bottoms

CROCHET RUFFLED SKIRT: crochet the chain base enough to wrap about the tummy of the stuffed animal and add 5 chain stitches for the button loop fastener. Knit row 17 in triangle stitch, mean­ing repeat row 13 of the top of your bikini. You will crochet a total of 13 tri­angles. Row 13: Wrap the hook and introduce it into the first stitch, wrap the hook with the thread again and pull it out, wrap the hook yet again and then pull it out of the first two slings formed by the hook. Wrap the hook and introduce it into the next stitch, wrap the hook with the thread again and pull it out, wrap the hook yet again and then pull it out of the first two slings formed by the hook. Wrap the hook and introduce it into the next two slings. Wrap the hook one last time and introduce it into the last two slings. Crochet Hooks: Use a crochet hook size to match your yarn. Common hook sizes for crochet bikinis are 3.5 mm (E/4), 4 mm (G/6), or 4.5 mm (7). If you require a tighter stitch, you may size down from that recommended on the yarn label. Reinforce the straps: Straps, in particular, can be prone to separating where they join to the bikini top. Reinforce these areas with some hand stitches.

Row 14: Repeat row 13 but this time forming the triangles in the holes be­tween the triangles of the row before. You will have 11 tri­angles in total. Rows 8 to 12: Crochet 2 double cro­chets together twice. Crochet the rest of the stitches in double crochet until you only have 4 stitches left. Crochet 2 double crochets together twice. For example, if your front bust measurement is 18 in (46 cm) and you have a moderately sized bust, you might decide to subtract 2 1⁄ 2 in (6.4 cm). Your finished bikini top's front width will be 15 in (38 cm), plus the 1⁄ 4 in (0.64 cm) seam allowance on both sides. For example, if you determined a top length of 15 in (38 cm) and desire 7 in (18 cm) of height, your rectangle will measure 15 by 7 in (38 by 18 cm).At Row 2, you only have to crochet 65 sts as per the pattern fo the ruffled skirt. Do not crochet on the loop. If you’ve been wanting to make a bikini to fit YOUR BODY, this is the bikini for you! The bikini top has detailed instructions (and video tutorial) on how to make cups that fit YOUR breasts, so whether you’re a size AA or H, you’re covered ;) Yardages for the top will vary based on the amount of coverage you want and the size and shape of your breasts, but I would recommend at least 150 yards for those who typically wear cup sizes A-D, and at least 200 yards for cups DD and higher.

Mark-1 is the base row which has 131 stitches. It is also the strap of the bikini, you may adjust the number of stitches to suit your doll. By using the yarn left from the base, continue to crochet around the piece to complete the bikini top. Like this article?

Cotton, bamboo, and polyester blends are good options. Choose a yarn that is soft and not scratchy on the body. Avoid yarn fibers such as wool which will shrink and be fluffy and scratchy. Tape Measure: A flexible tape measure will help you take your body measurements for accurate sizing.

The recommended yarn for this pattern is Yarn Bee Comfy Classic. This yarn has a lot of stretch and although is listed as worsted (4), it has a slightly heavier feel. Testers have subbed cotton, nylon and polyester worsted yarns with great results, so as long as you can meet gauge, I say use what makes you happy. PLEASE NOTE: Unless you use a microfiber yarn, this bikini is a SUN BATHING SUIT and NOT intended for wear in the water. If you would like to make your bikini a SWIMSUIT, I highly recommend using Alize Diva Stretch. This is a very thin microfiber yarn, but if you hold 3 strands together, it mimics the same weight and has worked successfully in this pattern. Your yardages will be different than those listed above if you decide to use this yarn. Delivery is on a selected date, you can choose a delivery day of your choice, up to 10 days in advance (Excluding next day delivery. Postcode restrictions apply) Choose the correct yarn: Your yarn should be suitable for swimwear. It should be able to get wet and not stretch out of shape as well as being colorfast.

Stretch: The addition of some Spandex or Lycra to your yarn will mean it stretches and has good recovery, so your bikini stays in shape.

Note: For the red and white ruffles skirt, use white yarn to crochet row 1 & row 3, and, red yarn on row 2 & row 4. You need to crochet the double cro­chet from the third chain. When finish­ing the round, you will need to crochet two chains to be able to continue cro­cheting the next round. To start dou­ble crocheting, go around the hook with the thread. Introduce the hook with the thread inside the third chain and go around the hook again. Take out the hook with three threads. Go around the hook with the thread and pass it through the first two threads. Go around the hook again and pass it through the rest of the threads. Make 3 chains. Wrap the hook and introduce it into the next stitch, wrap the hook with the thread again and pull it out, wrap the hook yet again and then pull it out of the first two slings, repeat this twice more until you have 4 slings on your hook. Wrap the hook and pull it out of the first two slings; repeat this until you have only one sling left on the hook. * The white bralette brings a sense of feminity to your ensemble, while the delicate lace adds a touch of romance. The intricate lacework creates a captivating pattern, enhancing the overall beauty of the bikini and creating a stunning visual impact. Free Pattern from Ravelry
