Strawberry Crochet Bikini by Roseanna Murray
What is Being Made
This is a beginner-friendly crochet bikini top designed by independent designer Roseanna Murray. The pattern creates a fitted two-piece bikini top with shaping that accommodates multiple bust sizes: Small (32-34 inches), Medium (34-36 inches), and Large (38-40 inches). The design features strawberry-inspired colorwork using pink and green yarns to create a playful, fruit-themed swimwear piece.
Techniques Used
The pattern employs fundamental crochet shaping techniques suitable for beginners. The construction involves working in rows with increases strategically placed to create the curved bust cups. The pattern uses chain spaces and increases worked into the same stitch to build three-dimensional shaping. Foundation chains establish the base width, and the piece is worked in rows with turning chains, demonstrating basic garment construction principles for fitted crochet swimwear.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch throughout this bikini is the double crochet (dc), which creates a fabric with good drape and structure suitable for swimwear. The pattern utilizes chain stitches (ch) for foundation chains and chain spaces (ch sp) for decorative shaping and increases. Increases are created by working multiple double crochets into the same stitch or chain space, allowing the fabric to expand gradually across rows to form the bust cups.
Materials Required
- Yarn: 200 meters of 4-ply cotton/linen blend yarn in pink, plus 100 meters of 4-ply cotton/linen blend yarn in green
- Hook: 2mm (US C/2) crochet hook
- Notions: Yarn needle for weaving in ends and finishing
- Optional: Lining fabric if you wish to line your bikini for additional coverage and durability
Gauge and Construction Notes
The pattern specifies a gauge of 24 stitches and 12 rows measuring 10 x 10 centimeters (4 x 4 inches) over double crochet stitches. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for proper fit across all three sizes. The pattern instructions recommend reading through the complete pattern before beginning to ensure understanding of the shaping sequence and size-specific modifications. The bikini top is constructed by making two bust pieces separately, which are then assembled to create the complete garment.
