Crochet Swimsuit Pattern

[alaskanray]

Quickly shrinking out of my swimsuit and I want to crochet a new one for myself but don't want a bikini. Anyone know of any one-piece swimsuit patterns, about a women's size 24? Or a suit pattern that could be modified? Please help! Thank you.

This one is a one piece that goes up to size 16 (pretty generous I'm sure). I don't know much about modifying.

that one is CUTE! i'd love to make a swim suit for my daughter.... question -

what kind of yarn do you use? i'd think cotton would get heavy when wet?

[natalie058]

Maybe microspun?? or cotton-ease, I think that's what the LB bikini pattern uses.

 

Pure cotton would stretch... that would be bad...

I've been making bikinis lately out of cotton sock yarn with a little elastic. I have been using Espirt's Sock It to Me! yarn which is 98.3% cotton, 1.7% elastic. It's worked really well and stays put nicely because of the elastic.
