i made a crochet bikini for the first time and it's kinda amazing! (DIY crochet bikini)

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

I remember a college roommate crotcheted a bikini that turned out cute. I don't remember if she actually wore it in the water, but she brought it with her for Spring Break somewhere warm near water. It was made out of cotton and lined. This was in the early '70s. What goes around, comes around!

[@amberpadilla6463]

I love watching you make mistakes, because that's how all my crochet projects work too. The bikini came out great! So cute.

[@gabrielleyelle]

Wow I never really wanted to make crochet swim until now, adding the lining and the soft elastic straps seems like it would be so much more comfortable!

I’m crocheting a bikini while watching this video but I already watched it so it’s my second time

[@8Joya8]

I am crocheing a summer sweater while watching this, you inspired me that i can do it! And it is my first big project.

[@tamaramonster9027]

You could make a crochet flared ant in the same pattern and together with the bikini top it would make a great festival outfit!

[@Royalizzieadventures]

Interesting 😀

[@LindsayMiner]

I'm literally making a crochet skirt right now and the number of times I've had to unravel it....like no. But it always feels SO good when you're done!!

[@jenniferengstrom1250]

I finished a crochet sweater while watching this, I started it a week ago when it was cold and now it's suddenly summer

[@baileysisk815]

i am crocheting a patchwork granny square blanket while watching this! love your vids!!! you inspire me sooo much with knitting and crocheting

[@britachii8359]

I love the colors and the final product omgggg

[@CloeB213]

Thank you for showing when you frog part of your crochet projects. As a beginner frogging seems really off-putting but i dont think people should be discouraged when they need to frog. I think it shows growth in your crochet abilities. I love seeing others frog their projects and showing their growth!

[@Licerao]

I'm knitting a winter scarf in 25 degrees Celsius in the Danish summer time while watching this video 😂 so relaxing, you always know how to bring us watching to a happy place ❤️

[@graciescruggs3320]

JENNA omg i love you videos and all your creations!!!❤❤❤❤

[@cathyclark5791]

You are such a clever gal! You are amazing on picking up new talents. It looks so cute on you. Love watching!

Started learning crochet and knitting after watching your videos and learning knit through your videos..you're so inspiring love your creations and your vibe..so fun to watch💗

[@LucyGrullon]

ok but the idea of adding the straps from an actual bikini is genious and i'm gonna try that too! thanks for the video!♥

[@pollylyons4223]

I'm crocheting pajamas while watching the video! I think the bikini came out great, Jenna!

[@melekkeskin4173]

I've seen some of the plants' leaves have brown bits around the edges. That usually happens due to lack of metal. You can avoid it bu berrying some metal scresw into the pots.

[@pocketfullofbugs]

Just started the video, I have heard that you can use cotton yarn with spandex and it helps it retain elasticity and is good for bathers. 🤗

[@morbidlyxobsessed]

Omg benson is too precious, you always bring me so much joy Jenna ♥️

[@clairecreates2018]

Okay, we get it benson is cute

[@marth5326]

so cuteee!! the hard work really paid off

[@sherrykirklighter3380]

I would love to see you make a quilted/patchwork beach towel from hand towels and rags from the thrift, I just thought of the idea and you would be the most ideal person to try it out.

[@caylarivera2804]

I have worn a cotton crochet bikini in the water before, it does end up stretching out and getting really heavy, but it was much more comfortable to wear out of the water than an acrylic yarn might have been as it was really hot outside. Definitely be careful if you take it swimming it might get kinda loose, but you can always tighten the straps as that happens if they are the kind you can tie. I have never made bottoms however, not sure how those would hold up

[@madisonchurch8997]

Benson in the time-lapse was so funny :D he was flying across the couch

[@Lea-bw9wj]

You took me back to my childhood when I was about 6/7 and rocked my crochet bikini at the beach in the early 80's. Yes I'm that old.

[@annalake4376]

I got my driver's license in 81,I hear ya barkin',but I got you beat,and who puts a crochet bikini on a 6/7yr. old? Your memories when you were 6 are probably not as clear as you want them to be.

[@Lea-bw9wj]

@@annalake4376 was questioning my memories really necessary? It was the very early 80s and while by today’s standards people might not do it, it was still totally innocent. My crochet bikini covered just as much as any other bikini. I just had a saggy bum when I came out of the water.

[@sinceritybaldwin4147]

@@Lea-bw9wj this made me smile so much starting with “questioning my memories”…just adorable . And guess what? I’m older than BOTH of you😂😂❤

[@manonguinchard5829]

Me watching this while crocheting a top on the couch. I feel you haha It’s one of my fave thing about crochet too, being able to do it on the couch and to watch anime doing it 😂😍

[@amarolocable]

I miss your thrift with me videos but at same time me and the planet are glad you stop buying so much stuff. xoxo

[@marvesnewyork]

my crochet bikini is up on the cover for inspo! I feel special :)) celebrity status with Jenna Phipps!

[@UsernamesForDummies]

Watching this in winter and knitting a coatigan. I wished it was crochet season here right now.

[@amanisworldofcreations]

I was recommended to use Alize diva stretch yarn for crochet swimwear :)

[@lu9997]

thats ideal yarn for it

[@nostradamus1162]

ooh i didnt know there was yarn specifically mady for this 🧐 i just made them with 100% cotton yarn and never planned on wearing them in the water

Crocheting along on a big tapestry project, loving the bikini girl! :D

[@quinnhen2325]

I’m almost 60 and have only been crocheting a few months. I wish I had learned when I was in junior high/high school because I swam and went to the beach all the time! I wanted a crochet bikini way back then so badly, but they were expensive!! I could have made my own. 😭 My goal is to make a cute halter top for my daughter when I get a bit better at crochet. Your bikini is adorable!!

[@Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree]

At the moment I’m crocheting a planned scrap blanket that will be a gift.

[@aylainitaly]

from my research acrylic yarn is the best for swimwear

[@alxndradoll]

I’m half way done using the pattern from your website, the bottoms fit amazing oh my god oh my god

[@missmeeraj650]

I was waiting for another crochet video!! Yayyy!!

[@dewaina3097]

I just love watching your videos while I crochet ❤️❤️❤️

[@crazybasslady8494]

Jenna, i just saw your video featured in the dutch tv show RTL Boulevard in an item about crochet fashion!!!

[@carmengomez9935]

Your videos are always so fun and entertaining to watch! Also the swimsuit turned out great!

[@ReynaThePalisman]

Heyyyy I love for you crochet vids I just started after knitting and love it crochet is a lot quicker then knitting in my opinion

[@victoriavegas90]

Okay so ❤️ 1. I absolutely love this top/bottom and absolutely will be attempting this myself. 2. I almost screamed bc i saw you were watching Watcher and I LOVE THOSE DORKS

[@ech0less886]

i am so glad i found your channel! i love watching your videos while i work on my patchwork cardigan. I know it's summer, but i would love to see you try one in the future! ❤

[@kateevans9174]

I’m in the middle of crocheting a heart jumper, just run out of yarn so I have to wait for it to come back in stock.

[@user-np5vy4ds5o]

Beautiful work on the bikini..amazing job!🥰

[@35yoglenmckenna31]

Looks wonderful !! I love the Colors

[@athenachan5148]

I saw a post saying you should use a mix of cotton and spandex yarn. Their reasoning was, after your cotton yarn stretch, it wouldn't return to its original sizing, making it too loose for your body and doesn't fit snug. I'm trying very hard to find that original post.

[@carolewilliams8667]

So beautiful, well done. You make me laugh a lot as you remind me of a younger version of myself. Thank you for making fun videos xx

[@pixysmith3746]

hi!! love u jenna!! 💚💚💚💚💚

Ah! I'm always so stoked to see when you post a vid! This turned out so good!

[@janineclegg3818]

You are soooo clever ...Well done

[@DawnYarnDoll]

I was recommended your channel because of the crochet content and I am so happy you're still crocheting! I'm making the Killstar sweater. It's taken me almost 2 weeks and I am working on the sleeves now. I hope to finish by the end of the week? It's a single crochet so you know how slow that goes O: Sending lots of positive vibes xo

[@francesnoora]

you should use cotton with part spandex! only cotton will just expand and not go back to its original form and size when wet

[@cherthompson2546]

Very cool. Love the pattern!💗

[@jessicamermaid2438]

I have been wanting to try this. It is really cute.

[@pamelafox7677]

When taking apart crochet work, it's called frogging. (I think)

[@vicj8211]

This turned out soo cute! Commercial crocheted bikinis are treated with something to make them not absorb water. I would definitely not wear this to swim lol
