It’s time to hit the beach in style.

Moreover, bBecause of the specifics of such garments, these are easy, super quick projects that very nearly work up themselves. What’s more, they also don’t require a lot of yarns, so the only stash you need to bust is the one you already have. However, by no means does this mean that these are inferior. Indeed, these are fun, sexy and playful projects for you to enjoy making and wearing.
Coctail Swimsuit
This crochet bikini and swimsuit combo is undoubtedly one of the neatest out there. Although it’s very definitely a bikini with a top and bottom, it’s also a one-piece swimsuit, the best of both worlds.

FAQ
What yarn to choose for a crochet bikini?
One thing is certain – don’t go for 100% cotton or other yarns that highly take water in, because you’ll end up with soggy and heavy bikini that slides off your body. Yarns for crochet swimsuits should be acrylic or blends – you can even find yarns that are made especially for this purpose.
Can beginners crochet a bikini?
Of course, because it’s basically two triangles, right? You don’t need any fancy techniques – all you need are proper yarn, crochet hook and basic crochet stitches.
Crochet bikini or a crochet swimsuit?
Why not both? It’s good to have options, right? Well, it’s a question you’ve got to discuss with yourself, because it all depends on how you feel in each of them. One thing is certain – you are beautiful and nothing should stop you from enjoying your time on the beach!

I had an experience with crocheting in school and would like to renew my interest in it now that I am already retired from. Work. I’d like to start learning how to crochet bikinis or 1 piece swimsuits.
