Crochet Checkered Bikini Bottom Pattern

Materials

  • Yarn (same type and weight as the bikini top)
  • Crochet hook size 2mm (white hook recommended)
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Detailed Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Foundation Chain

  • Begin by chaining 19 stitches for size Small (S).
  • For size Medium (M), chain 9 stitches.
  • For size XL, chain 10 stitches.
  • [Tip: Refer to description for complete sizing suggestions.]

2. Start Row with Double Crochet Height

  • Chain 3 to count as the height of first double crochet (dc) stitch.
  • In the 5th chain from hook, begin the pattern by working small double crochet stitches between chains.

3. First Row Pattern – Color Blocks

  • Work 4 double crochet stitches in white yarn, then change to green yarn for color block.
  • Continue alternating colors every 5 double crochet stitches, following the checkered pattern.
  • Introduce green yarn smoothly by pulling loops carefully to hide color changes inside stitches.

4. Continue Row and Maintain Pattern

  • Repeat the checkered block pattern across the row: 5 stitches per color, alternating between white and green.
  • Use guided yarn technique to keep thread neat and hidden.
  • Work up to the end of the row, preparing for the next row color change.

5. Color Change and Yarn Management

  • When changing colors (white to green or vice versa), make sure to pull the yarn through the last two loops on hook one at a time, for smooth transition.
  • Always position the working yarn in front or behind as needed to maintain tension and hide yarn changes.

6. Next Rows – Repeat Color Blocks

  • Continue crocheting rows of double crochet stitches, maintaining the color block pattern for the checkered design.
  • Each color section is 5 stitches wide, maintaining uniformity.
  • Repeat the pattern for about 15 rows or until desired bottom height is reached.

7. Size and Fit Adjustments

  • The bikini bottom starts from the middle; side panels will be added later for adjustment.
  • Remember to keep sides about 1 cm smaller due to attached panels, to ensure perfect fit.
  • Adjust chain length or rows if needed based on personal sizing.

8. Straight Rows Without Increase

  • After reaching the required width and height, work straight rows without increases or decreases to build up fabric for proper coverage.
  • Work 5-8 straight rows depending on size preference.

9. Increasing Rows for Shape

  • To shape sides and hips, incorporate increases:
    • Chain 3 at row start (counts as dc height).
    • Work 2 double crochet stitches in the first and second-to-last stitch of the row.
    • Continue regular double crochets in remaining stitches.
  • Repeat increase rows 4 times interspersed with straight rows, following video instructions.

10. Final Shaping and Detailing

  • Finish the sides neatly with single crochet (sc) stitches and chain spaces to allow some flexibility and comfort.
  • Add side panel chains to tie bikini securely at hips.
  • Make two side straps or ribbons as desired by chaining enough length for comfortable ties.
  • Attach side straps with single crochet stitching to bikini bottom sides.

Tutor’s Suggestions

  • Watch the top part tutorial first to understand the detailed technique of color change and pattern work.
  • Keep yarn tension consistent to avoid uneven fabric.
  • Hide color changes diligently by positioning working yarn correctly, to create a clean final look.
  • Measure frequently for best fit and comfort.
  • For side ties, consider making them longer for adjustable fit or use wider ribbons for fashion flair.

Uses

  • Perfect matching bottom for the previously crocheted checked bikini top.
  • Suitable for summer beachwear or poolside lounging.
  • Stylish gift idea or custom swimwear option.

Tip

When changing colors, always pull the new yarn through the last two loops of a stitch one at a time and carry the unused yarn along the edge to minimize loose ends and improve durability.

Conclusion

Completing this checkered bikini bottom using the detailed crochet steps and color management will result in a stylish, comfortable garment that matches your crocheted bikini top perfectly. This intermediate pattern enhances your crocheting skills in colorwork and shaping.
