Easy Peasy Sun Top, a summer dream on knitting needles Easy Peasy Sun Top is a simple, easy-to-knit bikini top worked sideways in the soft, stretchy cotton yarn Summer Loop from Casasol Handmade. The pattern is perfect if you want to try your hand at swimwear, or if you're looking for a small, summery project for the holidays. The top pairs beautifully with the Easy Peasy Bikini Trousers for a complete set. You start at the centre front of the bikini top and knit with increases, followed by decreases, to achieve a good fit. The piece is finished off with long ties, as long as you like. A versatile top that suits all bust shapes.

Size guide The size measuring approximately XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) cm corresponds to cup size A (B) C (D) DD (E) F (G). Measure the circumference where your bust is fullest, which is usually around nipple height. If you measure approximately 70-75 (80-85) 90-95 (100-105) 110-115 (120-125) 130-135 (140-145) cm, this corresponds to the sizes given above. Measure yourself before you start knitting. If you're unsure about the size, simply start knitting in the size you usually wear in bras, and try the top on and check the fit as you go.

Feel free to knit a gauge swatch before you start, to check that your gauge is correct. Note that the gauge is measured after the top has been soaked.
