Description

I am absolutely LOVING this bikini set! There is no way you could find

something this cool in today's stores... it is so unique and so cute! This 3-piece set comes with patterns for the bikini top, bikini shorts and the skirt to go on top. The best thing is that when you make it yourself, you get the style you want, and you get to pick the color and size.

This listing is for the crochet pattern only. It is a .pdf file that is available for immediate download.

This pattern came from a 1973 magazine that is no longer in circulation, so in order to make it available for more vintage loving knitters, I am transcribing the instructions exactly as written in the original pattern book and offering them here.

This pattern is sized for a 32(34,36) inch bust and 34(36, 38) inch hips
