I have been getting a lot of requests for a free pattern for this Brazilian crochet bikini bottom in my inbox and firstly wanted to say a big Thank You for the love!

This crochet bikini bottom only takes no more than 2 hours to make! So simple and perfect for beginners in all 9 sizes! Once you know the basics, you can go on and make your own version and style!

DESIGN INSPIRATION

 

Bikinis are constantly evolving, just like mobile phones. They use to be bigger and wider, then they moved on to being smaller and narrower, lol. So I wanted something current and trendy! Sexy, modern, in-fashion, and most of all super easy to make.

This Gaia Brazilian bikini bottom is at the top of my sexy list. With slim sidebands and a Brazilian cut style that offers minimal tan lines and comfort. Can you swim in them, yes! Check out more details here on FAQ on Crochet Bikinis
