This crochet set from DROPS is a simple, easy project for those warm summer days at the beach. You can make a whole set or pick only a hat or bikini. Hat is light enough that your head won’t overheat, but dense enough to protect it from the midday sun. It’s easy, fun and for a good cause: a fun time on the beach.
Crochet the Perfect Summer Set
This crochet bikini and hat set is perfect for sunny days, combining both style and practicality. Made with half double crochet stitches, the bikini offers a comfy stretch and a snug fit. The hat has fancy holes and a soft brim, giving good shade while keeping it stylish and airy.
What’s the Best Yarn for Summer Wear?
For a comfy and breezy feel, this pattern suggests using DROPS Safran, a sport-weight yarn. Made from 100% Egyptian cotton, it gives great stitch detail and a smooth touch, perfect for clothes.
If you need another option, any sport weight cotton or cotton-blend yarn should do. Always go for natural fibers to keep the fabric breathable and avoid feeling too hot.
Is This Pattern Good for Beginners?
This pattern is good for those who are past the beginner stage. The bikini top and panties are worked in basic stitches and the hat uses increases and fancy openwork. The project features half double crochet, treble crochet, and chain stitches.
