Easy Crochet Simple Bikini Top

Materials Required:

Crochet hook (no specific size mentioned in the scraped content, so choose one that matches your yarn weight)
Yarn (preferably cotton or a cotton blend suitable for wearables)

Crochet Terms Used:

This pattern uses US crochet terminology.

Starting the Bikini Top:

Create a slip knot to begin.

Chain 7 (adjust this according to your size, the initial chains should measure from the underbust to the nipple for a proper fit).

Row 1:

Skip 2 chains and make a double crochet into the 3rd chain from the hook.
Continue making double crochets into each chain across until one chain remains.
In the last chain, make 3 double crochets, chain 1, and then 3 more double crochets into the same chain to form an increase.

Row 2:

Chain 3 (this counts as the first double crochet).
Turn your work, skip the stitch at the base of the chain 3, and double crochet into the next stitch.
Continue with double crochets in each stitch until you reach the chain-1 space from the previous row.
In the chain-1 space, make 2 double crochets, chain 1, and then 2 more double crochets to increase.
Continue making double crochets in each stitch to the end of the row.

Subsequent Rows:

Repeat Row 2, always making the increases in the chain-1 space at the midpoint of the row.
Continue with the pattern until the cup is large enough to cover your breast. The example in the video ends at Row 7 for a size small, with a final bra cup size of approximately 5 inches wide by 5.5 inches tall.

Joining the Cups:

Place the finished cups side by side.
Attach yarn at the corner stitch of one cup.
Chain 1, then proceed to single crochet the two cups together along their bottom edges.
Cut the yarn and tie off once you reach the end.

Creating the Ties:

For the back tie, attach yarn at one corner of the unified cups.
Chain 125 (or more for a longer tie), then slip stitch back along the chain.
Attach a similar chain to the opposite corner for the second back tie.
For the neck ties, attach yarn at the chain-1 space at the top of each cup, chain 125, and slip stitch back along the chain. Repeat for the second cup.
