Ore Bikini Top

The Ore Bikini Top is a minimalist, quick-to-stitch summer staple designed to help you catch the very last tail of summer. It features a clean silhouette that works beautifully on its own at the beach or styled as a lightweight layering piece under sheer tops, open button-downs, and summer blazers.This design plays with texture and contrast by using two completely different gauges for the main body and the chunky framing halter straps. The shaping utilizes the linked stitch technique to achieve incredibly smooth, seamless increase and decrease lines along the edgings. The pattern has been professionally tech edited and fully test-crocheted to ensure clarity and accurate sizing.
