Santorini Striped Bikini
This is a fun crochet pattern for a striped bikini. Make this beautiful crochet bikini while looking forward to your next getaway to somewhere sunny! While making this bikini I was dreaming of Greece, which is why I call it the ‘Santorini Bikini’.
It includes a version in U.S. as well as British terminology. Just download the one you prefer, no need to convert the terminology.
SKILL LEVEL: It’s ideal for beginners and intermediate crocheters.
The stitches used in this pattern are chain, slip stitch and single crochet (double crochet in British terminology).
The instructions are accompanied by 65 photos of the process.
SIZE: Top: One size fits cup A to C. The back is adjustable and the instructions include two options for the bodice (XS/S and M/L).
Bottoms: The pattern includes options for sizes S, M, and L. The bottoms are also have straps on the sides, making them adjustable.
MATERIALS: You need DK/Light worsted cotton yarn in two different colours, approx. 200 to 220 yards (180 to 200 metres) for the blue part and approx. 150 to 170 yards (137 to 155 m) for the white part.
I used Stylecraft Classique Cotton and needed 3 x 50g skeins in Greek Blue (2 skeins for size S) and 2 x 50g skeins in Ivory (for all sizes).
The cotton yarn should be soft enough to be worn directly on the skin. Alternatively you can use a cotton acrylic blend.
HOOK Size: 8 / 4mm (UK), G/6 / 4 mm (US)
GAUGE: 16 st x 19 rows sc (dc in British terms) = 4” (10.16 cm) x 4” (10.16 cm)
