Hello everyone! I posted a photo of this bikini set on my Instagram account a few days ago and now I've finally finished editing the pattern and video tutorial for the bikini bottom only! I will post the pattern and video tutorial for the top soon.
Well if you're familiar with most of my patterns like the Crochet Bodycon Dress, this pattern works the same way from side to side. You only need to know how to do the increase and decrease. But once you understand the method, I assure you don't have to refer to the pattern anymore.
This pattern is quite simple and plain but if you want to make a more complicated design just follow the method and create your own design. You can create edging, use filet/motifs, or try use different stitches. Following this design as your foundation, can you imagine all the different design that you can create from this method. .
Anyway, if you don’t understand any part of this pattern, please refer to the video tutorial on my YouTube channel.
