I have posted this Bikini Top on YouTube before and it is loved by the Lace Edge around the cup. Yes it is beautiful and easy to make with basic stitches. But you need to focus on the Pattern cause this is a various combination of stitches. However it turns out so charming, you will so so love it!
This pattern comes with a large Cup Size range from A Cup to G Cup and Bra Size range from XS to 4XL. The Bra Size applies to the Brand and Straps, and the Cup Size just only apply to Cups. You can see the measurements detail below. There are so much measurement to make bra, you know 😆.
Yarn:
To crochet it I use a Fine/Sport Weight Yarn, I used a Local Brand yarn, you can find the same material one Ice Yarns CAMILLA COTTON as a perfect substitute as it is 100% Mercerized Cotton Sport Weight Yarn, great for summer wearing.
Hook:
For this design I use Tulip 2.00mm Crochet Hook and CLOVER 2.75mm Hook to make the Foundation chain of Brand and Straps. You can replaced them with Tulip 2.20mm Hook and Tulip 3.0 mm Crochet Hook or Tulip 1.8 mm Crochet Hook and Tulip 2.5 mm Crochet Hook based on your crochet tension.
