Chill your doll at the beach with a bandeau top two-piece swimsuit!

This swimsuit is designed to fit 1/3 scale curvy ball-jointed dolls that are 55 – 60 cm (22 – 23 inches) tall with bust-waist-hips measurements up to 24 – 16 – 25 cm (9.5 – 6.5 – 10 inches) such as Smart Dolls and less expensive UCanaan dolls.

The seamless top and bottom are knit top-down in the round with ~45 yds (~40 m) of Size 10 crochet thread using a long flexible circular needle and Magic Loops. Shaping occurs with increases, decreases, short rows and cast-on stitches.

Eyelets are knit to anchor a centered halter strap, plus eyelets for waist ties and/or an underbust tie.
