Aster Bikini Top

The #AsterBikiniTop is a bikini top worked bottom-up, with increases for bust shaping, i-cord edging and a fun hole as detail for view A, and a little line for view B. The yarn is elastic, making it comfortable and cozy for everyone <3<3<3 MATERIALS Needles: 3mm needles (DPNs or circular) Gauge: 30 stitches X 48 rows = 10X10 cm in stockinette on 3mm needles Yarn: Cromatico Crochet Filato Bikini Soft (50g/200m) elastic yarn (link: https://cromaticocrochet.com/products/filato-bikini-soft?variant=51773182673160&_pos=1&_sid=dc7e2ebe3&_ss=r) Tapestry needle Tape measure 5 stitch markers Scrap yarn SIZING & YARN ESTIMATION There are 4 UNDERBUST sizes to which the pattern subtracts around 20-25% of negative ease: Underbust size (cm), Size of the final garment underbust (cm) 60-85, 32 (85-105), (39) 105-120, 46 (120-135), (54) Don’t worry it will be very very stretchy and you will increase based in your bust size! you will be covered :) The grams and meters used vary a lot based on your bust and underbust circumference. Between testers the range of yarn used is between: 40g/160m and 85g/340m. (check the tester’s gallery for more info about sizing and meterage). If you are in doubt, size down as the yarn will be very elastic! To the bikini a stretchy lining or a bra cup will be added to prevent it from being see through after a bit of wear, see infos in the last page of the pattern. If you don’t feel like sewing on your top, another option is to hold the yarn double; this means that you will need double of the amount suggested above! Be careful to do a gauge swatch holding the yarn double, as it could change the outcome of the bikini!
