Crochet info: Turn each row with 3 ch.
Increasing tips: Inc 2 dc by crocheting 3 dc in dc with marking thread.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bikini top:
Crochet each cup separately from bottom up. Cups are joined by crocheting together bottom edges.
Cup: Ch 48-57-66 (includes 3 ch to turn with) using hook size 3mm/ C and Safran.
1st row: 1 dc in the 5th ch from the hook, *skip 1 ch, 1 dc in each of the next 2 ch*, repeat from *-* and finish with 1 dc in the last ch = 31-37-43 dc (the first dc = 3 ch). Insert a marker in the middle dc and let the marker follow the piece as you progress.
Remaining rows: Crochet 1 dc in each dc – see Crochet info – at the same time inc 2 dc in the middle of the piece – see Increasing tips above – on the next 4-4-5 rows = 39-45-53 dc.
Now start decreasing in the middle of the piece: on first row skip 1 dc in the middle of piece, on the following rows skip the middle 2 dc. Continue the dec until there are 4 dc left on row – piece measures approx 18-21-25 cm / 7"-8 1/4"-9 3/4".
Crochet tie-string over the remaining 4 dc – 1 dc in each dc – until string measures approx 40 cm / 15 3/4", fasten off.
Crochet one more cup.
Joining together the cups:
Crochet 1 dc in each of the dc at bottom edge on 1 cup and then 1 dc in each of the dc at bottom edge of the other cup = 62-74-86 dc.
Crochet 2 rows with 1 dc in each dc, on the last row adjusting number of dc to 61-74-85 – do this by skipping the occasional dc.
Change to crochet hook size 4mm / US G and crochet next row as follows:
Size S: ch 5, skip 2 dc, 1 dc in next dc, *2 ch, skip 2 dc, 1 dc in next dc*, repeat from *-* to the end of row = 20 ch spaces. Turn the piece, crochet sl sts to the middle of first ch space, ch 5, 1 dc in next ch space, *2 ch, 1 dc in next ch space*, repeat from *-* to the end of row = 19 ch spaces.
Size M: ch 5, skip 2 dc, 1 dc in next dc, *3 ch, skip 3 dc, 1 dc in next dc, ch 2, skip 2 dc, 1 dc in next dc*, repeat from *-* to the end of row = 21 ch spaces. Turn the piece, crochet sl sts to the middle of first ch space, ch 5, 1 dc in next ch space, *2 ch, 1 dc in next ch space, ch 3, 1 dc in next ch space*, repeat from *-* to the end of row = 20 ch spaces.
Size L: ch 6, skip 3 dc, 1 dc in next dc, *3 ch, skip 3 dc, 1 dc in next dc*, repeat from *-* to the end of row = 21 ch spaces. Turn the piece, crochet sl sts to the middle of first ch space, ch 6, 1 dc in next ch space, *3 ch, 1 dc in next ch space*, repeat from *-* to the end of row = 20 ch spaces.
All sizes: Continue like this (i.e. 1 less ch space per row) until there are 2 ch spaces left, fasten off.
Crochet ch spaces around the triangular front pieces as follows, using crochet hook size 4mm / US G and starting at the top on the right side: 1 sc in the last dc-row before the ch spaces, ch 3, 1 sc in first ch space, *3 ch, 1 sc in next ch space*, repeat from *-* around the triangle and finish with 1 sc in first dc-row on the left side.
Tie-strings for back:
Crochet a tie-string form both sides of bikini top, using crochet hook size 3 mm/ C and starting in the lower row of dc as follows: 1 sl st and ch 3, 9 dc along the edge (2 dc in each dc). Turn the piece with 3 ch and crochet 1 dc in each dc. Continue until string measures approx 15-17-19 cm / 6"-6 3/4"-7½".
Now dec 1 dc at the beginning of each row by skipping the first dc from previous row. Continue to decrease until there are 4 dc left on row and continue over these 4 dc until string measures approx 40-45-50 cm / 15 3/4"-17 3/4"-19 3/4".
Fasten off and crochet a similar string the other side.
Tassels:
Insert tassels along the sides of triangular front piece.
1 tassel = 2 strands, each 35 cm / 13 3/4'' long.
Fold strands, pull loop through ch space and pull ends through loop.
Put a bead on tassel and tie a knot approx 5 cm / 2'' from the top.
Insert a tassel in every other ch space on both sides.

The cup i am working doesnt form a triangle rather the middle part is arising or having "angles". The sides dont get in shape (or forming a triangle) it remain straight. How can i fix this? Thank you.

Dear Kat, make sure you first increase 2 sts in the middle of piece (4-5 times depending on the size), then decrease first 1 st in the middle of piece (skipping the middle stitch) 1 time and continue skipping the 2 middle sts in the middle of piece until 4 sts remains. Happy crocheting!

In increasing the decrease of every row is quite confusing. skipping 3stitches leaves a little hole in the middle of a row no matter how tight my tension is. how must i decrease, am i doing correctly?
01.06.2018 - 17:13DROPS Design answered:
Dear Katrin, in the middle of piece you will skip 2 sts and this will create a small hole - that belongs to the pattern. If you rather don't want any hole, you can crochet the 3 middle dc tog (= 2 sts dec). Happy crocheting!
04.06.2018 kl. 08:09Hej! Följer man mönstret med de +2 de 4-5 varven så bildas en utbuktning som är väldigt osmickrande. MEN, om man istället ökar +2 de första 2 varven och sedan bara ökar med +1 tills man kommer upp i antalet 39-45-53 så blir det en mjuk och fin kurva. Ser man på bilden så är det även omöjligt att det är 9 stolpar i början av knytbandet, det ser konstigt ut om man följer det. Gör man bara 4-5 st ser det mer ut som på bilden. /Emelie
25.04.2018 - 13:42Hi, I’m following your pattern however I am unsure of what to do when it states “Crochet tie-string over the remaining 4 tr - 1 tr in each tr” do you have a tutorial for this?
16.03.2018 - 22:37DROPS Design answered:
Dear Hollie, once a cup is finished, there will be 4 trebles (UK) left at its top edge. Into these 4 stitch the tie is crocheted, with 1 treble into each stitch. We don't have a special video for this particular model, but this videomight help you. Happy crafting!

Liebe Stine, die Farben können je nach Bildschirmeinstellungen unterschiedlich aussehen - dieses Modell wird aber mit Fb no 23 gehäkelt, aber gerne können Sie eine andere Farbe auswählen. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!
21.06.2017 kl. 17:08Klopt het dat in dit patroon de st staat voor stokje?
21.06.2016 - 13:24DROPS Design answered:
Hoi Debbie. Ja, dat klopt
21.06.2016 kl. 14:29I am uncertain how to crochet the triangle. Is it separately crochet then attached? For some reason my triangle is not long at all.
19.07.2015 - 00:17DROPS Design answered:
Dear Roseanna, the lace triangle is worked top down from the both cups joined tog. Remember to check your tension and dec 1 ch-space per row until 2 ch-spaces remain. Happy crocheting!
