RECIPE

Honey Bikini Top is a textured bikini top that is knitted from the top down. The work begins with two equal triangles that form the cups, before they are joined and the work is done with decreases and increases to shape the garment further. A thick cord is knitted and used both to decrease the stitches and to form a final cord of the same length. Finally, the straps are knitted, which give an extra cute little detail to the bikini. A creative and summery pattern that can be used both as a bikini and as a bra! 🌞🧶

Size guide

Sizes with approximately 85 (90) 95 (100) 110 (120) 130 (140) cm, corresponds to size XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL). This means that if you measure approx. 90 cm around the chest, you should knit a size S. I measure 93 cm across the chest and have knitted a size M, I wear a CD cup in the bra. Measure yourself before you start knitting. If you are unsure of a size, just start knitting and try on as you go.

It is a good idea to knit a sample before you start to check that your knitting tension is correct. Note that the knitting tension is stated after the top has been rinsed.
