WHAT IS IT?
A crochet pattern on how to crochet a romantic and sexy, twisted top and g-string with the option to make small or big crochet hearts, with or without beads.

The pattern contain links to some youtube videos to help you as well as some process photos of how to twist the top, connect the g-string and add elastic. The pattern is made to measure - there are calculations that you can follow in the pattern but always make sure to try it on as you go, as what you measure and how it fits on your body is unique. If you want to use it as a bikini for swimming, you’ll have to add lining to the set. You have the option of making it with hdc or sc - the sc will make for a more sturdy texture and also give less in size. For reference: the pink is made in hdc and the lilac in sc.
The pattern has been tested! Thank you to Jasmin(lilac set), Marley(green set), Jasmin, Tova, Taylor and Ayway for your help!
