Materials Needed:
- Medium weight (4) yarn, approximately 750 yards. (Colors used in the tutorial: black, red, green, and yellow)
- A D-hook (3.25mm) or an E-hook (3.5mm) if you make adjustments
Pattern Steps
Waistband (Ribbing):
- Start with a slip knot, chain 18.
- Skip the first chain and slip stitch into the second chain from the hook in the back loops only.
- Chain one and turn. Continue with back loop only slip stitches for the entire row.
- Repeat the process until the waistband reaches your desired length, fitting snugly around your hip.
Adjusting for Different Hook Sizes:
- If using an E-hook, consider reducing the rows in each section slightly since E-hooks create larger stitches than D-hooks.
Main Bikini Top:
- Begin with the waistband section completed.
For the Front Panel:
- Mark the central stitches according to your size.
- Attach the yarn and double crochet across this marked section.
- Change colors as desired, each row representing a new color stripe.
For Decreasing (Creating Armholes):
- Start reducing on the sides by double crocheting two stitches together at the beginning and end of certain rows, following the size guide mentioned in your scraped content.
- Reduce until you reach the specified row for your size.
- Continue straight without decreasing for additional rows, based on the size requirements mentioned in your data, to create the cup height.
Bottom Bikini Part:
- Attach the yarn at the center seam of the waistband. Single crochet around, creating a base for the bikini bottom.
- Split the stitches equally for the front and back, ensuring more stitches at the back for coverage.
- Start with double crochet three together for the first few stitches into one decrease stitch and continue across in double crochets.
- For the thong back, work in tight rows of just 3 double crochets back and forth before beginning increases to create a triangle shape leading back into the waistband.
Finishing Touches:
- Attach your completed rows to the center of the waistband, ensuring to match front and back accordingly.
- Create ties by chaining a long chain and single crocheting it to the top of the bikini top for the necktie and back closure.
- Weave through the chain space created around the ribbing for a customizable fit.
- Trim and weave in any loose ends, and consider adding embellishments like tassels for a personalized touch.
