Crochet a Bikini Top?

Question

I want to crochet a bikini top using Size H or higher hook. It's for a gal with a 38C bust. She wants me to use all-cotton yarn.
Can someone locate me a pattern that fits my specifics? Please and thank you.

I want to use bigger hooks cause I can't work those tiny steel ones very well with their tiny threads.

P.S. I need the patterns to be American English stuff. I keep finding British English patterns, even though they are lovely.

I even have not made this development, yet based on the training, you're making a shorter preliminary chain. My maximum suitable suggestion is to flow down a minimum of one needle length, and perchance 2. Then do a small swatch, approximately 5 inches via 5 inches, flatten it out, and count selection the form of stitches and the form of rows in one inch. Now degree your well known or maximum suitable setting up bra maximum suitable. based on the form of stitches in line with inch, what proportion stitches do you could desire to make this development in high quality condition? start up with that variety of chains, plus 2 chains for the turn. you additionally could make another differences as nicely, see what happens in case you upload a seam, or pinch the cloth jointly to make a greater useful in high quality condition, and take a stitch. it relatively is recommended to function a deeper band, which will help as nicely, or you could upload something interior the middle between the cups which will take in some greater bulk. good success! playstation What yarn are you employing? there is an astounding cotton yarn available with slightly lycra for stretch. it works especially nicely for bikinis

Here are some. Actually the bigger hook will make bigger holes, so use a regular hook and just make the cups bigger and the straps wider. You can use a bigger hook but you will need bra cups or swimsuit lining material inside.
