What you’ll need:
- Yarn: light / DK (3) weight yarn (Sample uses Lion Brand Coboo in pale pink).
XS~ 50g, S ~ 60g, M ~ 70g, L ~ 80g, XL ~100g
For durability in water, consider using a swim-safe yarn with elastane or nylon content. Other recommend yarn type would be cotton for breathability.

  • Crochet Hook: 3 mm. If using a different yarn weight, choose a hook that is one size smaller than the recommended size on the yarn label for a tighter, more secure fabric.
  • Notions: darning needle (for weaving in ends), stitch markers (at least 2), scissors, measuring tape, optional fabric for lining
