The Skimpy Stitch Bikini is a crocheted thong bikini pattern with minimal coverage on the front of the bikini. Modifications to adjust the fit of the thong and to create a wider border for additional coverage are provided. Video and picture tutorials for creating the bikini top cups are provided. There is also a video tutorial on how to line your bikini with fabric (if you desire).
Please Note- Your yarn choice will determine if your bikini is a sun bathing suit or a bikini suitable for swimming. I recommend using a microfiber yarn like Alize Diva Stretch (you will need to hold yarn triple) in order to make this swimsuit water-friendly. Other yarns like cotton and acrylic will make this suitable for sun bathing only. You may, of course, do as you wish, but if you go into the water in a 100% cotton or acrylic suit, you may not come out with it on your body ;)
Sizing and yardage is provided for the bikini bottoms ONLY because the cups are top are custom-fit based on your measurements. I have included approximate yardages for using light worsted weight yarn and Alize Diva Stretch held triple.
