HOW TO MAKE THE PERLÉ CROCHET BIKINI?

Top part

With Caricia Perlé White Nº5 and a Nº2 crochet hook, we make 2 identical straps. In a 50 cm chain, 2 rows of treble crochet, and sew them to the two ends of a strapless top that we will use as a lining and base for our design. Then we make a rosette (you can make the same one shown in the photo or choose the design you like best) and adapt it to the bikini and straps (filling the gaps with 2 chain stitches).

Bottom part

All in single crochet. Make a 32 cm chain with 100 single crochet stitches. After 3 rows, start decreasing 1 stitch at the beginning of each row. At 14 cm from the beginning, decrease 2 stitches at the start of each row. At 18 cm from the beginning, we will have 8 cm wide, make 4 cm, and start increasing 1 stitch at the beginning of all rows until you have 19 cm from the narrowest part. Make some points all around of 3 treble crochets. To tie the bikini, we will make 4 braids on each side, 26 cm long.
