PATTERN
The Honey Bikini Top is a textured knitted bikini top worked top-down. The project starts with two identical triangles forming the cups, before they are joined and shaped further with decreases and increases. A thick cord is knitted and used both to bind off the stitches and shaped into a finishing tie of the same length. Finally, straps are knitted, adding an extra sweet detail to the bikini. A creative and summery project that can be worn as both a bikini and a bra!
Size guide
Sizes approximately 85 (90) 95 (100) 110 (120) 130 (140) cm correspond to XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL). If you measure around 90 cm across the bust, you should knit a size S. I measure 93 cm and I wear a C-D cup bra size. I knitted a size M
Measure yourself before starting to knit. If unsure about the size, simply start knitting and try it on along the way.
Knit a gauge swatch before you begin, to check that your gauge is accurate. Note that the gauge is measured after the top has been rinsed.
