DESIGN INSPIRATION

candy twist bikini set
Matching Bikini Top

I wanted to make another high-waisted bikini bottom since it’s been a while since I made one and, I wanted it to go well with the Candy Twist Bralette that comes with bright colors, and a fun twist.

And since I had this Cascade Fixation Variegated yarn laying around, I thought how perfect this would be if I made a pretty little bikini set!

This bikini bottom is really nice and snug with its wide hip band, which can also be easily adjusted to your preferred height.

This bikini bottom is great for all sizes but remember to use the right yarns that are stretchy and lightweight! Check out the perfect yarns to use for crochet swimsuits and bikinis here.

Here are some other crochet bottom patterns you might like using this yarn.


CONSTRUCTION

For this pattern I am using the Cascade fixation Sprayed Dyed yarn in the color Spring Bouquet and a 2.5mm hook. 

Using simple Half Double Crochet Stitches throughout the entire main body piece and twisted loops along the top band giving it a nice touch!

This bottom also comes in 9 sizes and a matching top here.
