CROCHET STAR BIKINI TUTORIAL

[@leoporoto3914]

written pattern: row 1: start with slipknot. ch 5 and slst into first ch so you have a loop. ch3 (counts as a dc) and 2dc into the loop. ch2, 3dc, and repeat this 3 more times (5 sequences total). slst into the first ch3 to complete the row row 2: slst into the next st to skip into the ch space. 1hdc, 1dc, 1tc into the chsp, chain 2 and 1tc, 1dc, 1hdc into that same chsp. slst to skip into the next chsp and repeat that sequence until the row is done. slst to finish it and it should be looking like a little flower :) row 3: 3sc into the next 3 st so youre at the chsp. 1hdc, 1dc, ch2, 1dc, 1hdc. make 1sc into every st until you make it to the next chsp, and repeat this until the row is done. slst into the last st to finish the row. row 4 and 5: repeat row 3 until youve reached your bikini size. 5 rows is usually enough but you can keep going if you need to. to make the straps, ch 60 (or more) into each star point :) mods: for more coverage you can do a ch1 chsp. it may be a little more difficult to place sts into the chsps but it works. for more support, you can do 2 smaller stars and sew/sc them into the 2 main ones. also i recommend giving the straps a row of sc bc i find that chain straps hurt me a bit. also, a tip: you can make round nipple covers and sew/sc them into the stars for more coverage. thank you dana for this awesome pattern!!

You are my new favorite person

I did a magic ring instead of what she said to close the hole better

[@mariaeduardavilelaveigabat5941]

OH MY GOD you r awesome, thank you so freaking much

[@Firefoxy11]

I love you

[@jada5229]

just a tip if you don’t want your nipples to show through the holes you can separately crochet a circle and then thread it into the back

[@Noah-yz7yx]

That's what I was wondering, thanks!

[@rubysantana5876]

Long-time fan of Dana's crochets vids, and I'm eternally grateful that they're so free and useful! It warms my heart to hear her baby in the background

[@LifeWithKy96]

I’m with you! So beautiful to see her growth and she still gives us super cute free patterns and I love it

[@EeliusAstaroth]

Really love this pattern! Simplistically effective~ I ended up sewing the two together for a more fixed/secure top, but that's my personal pref. Wanted it to be beach friendly without the titty-poppin if I ended up doing anything like beach volleyball 😂 made some nice bottoms to go with it, and it's become one of my more favorite bikini combos ♥️ thanks a bunch for the video! It was really easy to follow. I can see why some people may have difficulty seeing with the color, but I still managed without any problems~ I stuck with a classic coral pink for the stars, a sea breeze blue for the straps as well as for the striped bottoms alternating with a cream color. Very retro and nostalgic vibes. I loved this pattern so much I'm planning on doing 2 others. One with a more red/white/blue theme for a more patriotic look, and another most likely black/dark colors for a more goth/punk vibe to contrast the colorful ones.

[@EeliusAstaroth]

Random side note, definitely pay more attention to the amount of slack your yarn provides. I did 2 so far. The first one went fine, so I figured it would have the same exact number of rows for the next one. Kinda wish I payed attention cause I'd go back and take away a few rows before finishing. It's a bit bigger, and still works, but still a mild deterrence.

[@lovelyky5068]

Can I see your pieces I want to make this but idk and did you get that little hole to close ? In the middle bcuz that looks like a nip problem

[@annavupie]

Can't wait for sweater season to come back so I can make more of your cropped sweaters! Love your tutorials 😍

[@madhappy77]

thank you for this tutorial!! this is the first crochet bikini top I've been able to successfully make 😂😅 somehow my stars came out much longer like a more realistic starfish shape (maybe because I just kept going & going to make it big enough for my DDs) but I love it 💞

[@suanneesposito9165]

Such a sweet sound in the background!! Thank you !! Would love a matching bottoms pattern

[@SomeyaMusic]

made this and it turned out so cute❤ thank you for the tutorial!

[@prplehoney7298]

This is so awesome! I can’t wait to do it and sew beads in the holes to give a elevated coverage

[@audjackson2077]

Thank you so much! I made one for my daughter and she loves it.

[@squishygrape63]

I feel really silly when I don’t follow exactly what you’re doing bc I can’t figure out what stitch to go in. Do you have a written pattern anywhere?

[@gemmachristina1661]

Make slip knot. Chain 5 and in the first stitch, slip stich together both ends. Row 1: chain 3, in center of ring make 2 dc. Chain 2. Repeat this sequence (3 dc, chain 2) until you have 5 groupings of 3 dc. Slip stich to first stitch Row 2: slip stich into second chain, in first big space 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 tc, chain 2. 1 tc, 1 dc, 1 hdc. Slip stitch in middle of the three dc group. Repeat (1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 tc, chain 2, 1 tc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, slip stitch in middle chain). Slip stitch into first chain to complete round. Row 3: sc in each stitch until you read the middle of the space (where you made the chain 2 of the last round). In that space, 1 hdc, 1 dc, chain 2, 1 dc, 1 hdc. Sc into the next stitch and all the way until you reach the next space (from the chain 2). Repeat (sc in each stitch until you get to the space, in space 1 hdc, 1 dc, chain 2, 1 dc, 1 hdc, sc the rest) until complete. Slip stitch into first chain to complete round. Repeat round 3 until you get to your desired star size.

Hi love I hope u answer this fast pls , how do u make them in sizes like a med

[@oliviaschmidt214]

What size yarn is everyone using? My star curls and I’m assuming it’s because of the wrong size yarn.

[@user-nq9sj1lk9b]

hey Dana do you have any written patterns online somewhere?

[@toosobersam4302]

In one of your photos on Instagram, I’m not sure if it was while you were pregnant or after your delivery, you posted a photo with some long crochet pants. Can you do a tutorial on those?❤️

I don't know how i ended up there, i keep doing it again and making the same mistake

[@nikkilyne36]

So many gaps for me.those gaps are to big.i would of used a smaller hook and use black fabric to sew on the back side so my nips wouldnt be showing and I'd be covered more.and my nip rings wouldnt be getting stuck between the gaps.but then again I dont see this being DD friendly lol

[@TableforFontana]

The difficult part is trying to figure out how to put this on

[@Jaydhatruth]

very nice request tutorial on very simple bodysuit for absolute beginners

[@nikitolita0460]

does anyone else have the problem that it doesn't turn out completely flat but kinda curls into itself? Or could anyone with more experience tell me what the problem could be? I had to make it a bit bigger, my stitches are pretty tight and I always did slipstitches after each section because i wanted the star to be a bit more defined. Idk if any of these three things could be the reason why it's not flat. I was thinking that it's not that surprising, since the 5 sections are very similar to how you make bralette cups, which also curl in in that way. But I'm surprised that hers turned out flat, so i was thinking maybe i've done something wrong? Does anyone have any tips?

[@yaesu8422]

Hey, i tried it too, i thought that it would be enough big for my boobies, and then i tried to try it on but it looked the same as you describe. it would be big enough but it curls. i unraveld the whole thing. i think the issues are: • crochet to thight (if you are worried for the gaps, try sewing a old t-shirt fabric or any fabric im your desired color on the back on the star when you're done.) •ajust the pattern, (im going to try to do everything with double crochets, every sticht that she makes a double/half double crochet im going to make a tripple/half tripple crochet, and at the beginning im going to do a 4 crochet instead of a tripple crochet) •also if everything dont work try a different yarn, (im also gonna do this if everything from above don't work) •or try to make it thicker (crochet with two strands of yarn) hope that helps, im going to tell you what the issue was so you can do your bikini too 😊

[@05kittycat1]

Please we need an update haha

[@05kittycat1]

@@yaesu8422 yes please I need an update on how you end up doing it

[@yaesu8422]

​@@05kittycat1 Here is the update: i ended up using 2 strands of my yarn (size 2). i crocheted with a 4mm hook and crocheted very loosely. if you have a problem with crocheing loose try to pull the hook upwards (instead of straight through) while pulling the yarn through the loop, so the loop gets a little bigger. if you still need help, i'll do a tutorial on my insta when you wan't to :)

[@yaesu8422]

[@jazmonet]

For whatever reason, I get confused when you end the second sequence (hdc, dc, ch2, dc, hdc). I think because the video jumped but Im not sure which chain exactly you place your slst. Im counting the chains and Im following everything exact but watching the video, its not adding up. Advice please??

[@jazmonet]

Are you placing the ending slst in the previous slst or skipping over that slst and placing it in the next ch? I could really be over thinking but it is not coming out right 🙃

[@rerachel1193]

@@jazmonet I'm having the same issue. I ended up doing a slst in between each 'arm' and not skipping any, but I think I should be skipping the stitch? Just winging it at this point.

[@tatchik77]

Could this also be started with a magic ring (magic circle)?

I did.
