crochet swimsuit

First swimsuit design

So most of you probably know that I have two kids :) and I do not feel so comfortable flaunting my tummy to the public anymore, so to compensate because I still love showing some skin during summer, I have to look for one piece swimsuits. Sadly, I only like a few designs, so this time around, I decided to make my own one piece swimsuit :)

Of course, everything starts with a ‘design’ first:

Quick sketch, yarn selections and initial go

I made a very quick skecth on what my swimsuit would look like. Then I choose my colors and then decided to start the project swiftly.

After sometime, I decided to make the design a bit clearer, and make the upper body into a lacy mesh still with the same aesthetics, zigzag, lines etc.

The bikini top should be more nude tone but I do not have the right hue, so I just used this pale light brown one that I have.

It is always exciting to finish a project, right? :)
