Passap machine knitting instructions for a striped bikini. The bottoms are knit sideways in one piece. with leg bands attached afterwards. A hem is made at the waist for elastic. The top is knit in two parts with reversed shaping that are joined together at the centre front and are finished with hooks in the back. Tie bands and bottom edging are also sewn on.

The pattern calls for 95g “synthetic bouclé yarn” (370m per 100g): 55g yellow, 20g red and 20g black, as well as narrow elastic.

Test square in stocking stitch: 100 sts=34cm, 100 rows=20.5cm
