Crochet swimwear is very popular as it looks very attractive. In addition, one-of-a-kind items are at the height of fashion and emphasize the sense of style and elegance of their owner.
Instructions
Step 1
First, choose the right yarn for knitting. It is best that it be cotton with elastane, then the product will keep its shape. Depending on the size, you need 200-250 grams of yarn.
Step 2
Start knitting with cups for the top of the swimsuit. Usually they are knitted in the form of an isosceles triangle, starting at the top and gradually adding columns.
Step 3
Be sure to duplicate the cups of the swimsuit with a lining. This will make the product more aesthetic and hygienic. Use supplex fabric or thin jersey for cushioning. The color of the lining must exactly match the color of the threads. Although you can try an alternative option - crochet the swimsuit from bright threads and put it on a contrasting lining.
Step 4
To prevent the leotard bra from stretching, do not forget to put elastic on the sides. You can use a regular hat elastic, but the swimsuit will look much more aesthetically pleasing if you tie its parts with spandex thread (also called rubber or silicone thread).
Step 5
Start making bra straps. They can be knitted in the form of single crochet strings, but this option is only suitable for those with very small breasts. For those with more curvaceous shapes, it is recommended to use a hat elastic as straps, which should be tied with threads from which the swimsuit is made.
Step 6
It remains to knit swimming trunks for a swimsuit. The easiest way to do this: take as a basis panties that are suitable for you in size and style and knit with simple columns, focusing on them, like a pattern. Start from the top, it is convenient to immediately knit an elastic band in the first row.
Step 7
To make your swimsuit look smart, use finishing materials such as rhinestones, beads, or sequins.
