Basic Bikini Cup

Size and shape are determined by manipulating the following factors:

1. Stitch height: Here I’m working with single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc) and double crochet (dc)
2. Foundation Length: The number of stitches that make up the central row to be stitched around. I stick within the range of 10-15 normally but it can be any amount.
3. Increase Style: Increases are placed at the central peak of the cup – here I’m either adding +4 stitches per row (2 stitch, 1 chain, 2 stitches increases – where the chain does not count) or +2 stitches per row (1 stitch, 1 chain, 1 stitch increases).
4. Number of Rows: How many rows of stitching are made.

But it was the popularity of the Basic Bralette Training that finally prompted me to create an overall Bikini Cup training. As with the bralet design, the Basic Bikini Cup Tutorial is designed as a jumping model where you can try out your own unique variations.
