Crochet Granny Square Triangle Bikini Top Pattern
Material:
- Start with a 5.0 millimeter crochet hook
- hot pink yarn which is suitable for the hook size.
Begin with a slip knot:
- Wrap the end of the yarn around your finger, and wrap it to the back and kind of hook your finger there.
- Go under the first loop and then hook the back loop, pulling it forward.
- Wrap the working yarn (the strand attached to the yarn ball) around your hook and pull through the loop you made around your finger. This creates your first chain.
- Create your second chain by wrapping the yarn around the hook and pulling through the loop already on the hook.
Now start double crochets:
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the third chain from the hook, yarn over and pull through (three loops on the hook), yarn over and pull through two loops (two loops on the hook), yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops. This is your first double crochet.
- Repeat the double crochet two more times for a total of three double crochets.
- Chain two for a small gap.
- Repeat three more double crochets into the same chain space to create a part of the triangle shape.
- Chain two for a small gap again.
- Perform another set of three double crochets to complete the mini triangle.
Create a second triangle:
- Pull the short yarn end to close off the loop.
- Turn your work to go on the opposite side, going underneath the bottom loops.
- Wrap the yarn around the hook and pull through twice to fully close off the mini triangle.
Change to your next color (yellow yarn):
- Make a small loop with the new color.
- Place it at the back or inside of the mini triangle.
- Pull through the new color and secure it to continue with the yellow yarn.
Continue the pattern by hooking into the loop space of the mini triangle:
- Do three double crochets loosely but not too loosely.
- Without cutting the yarn, chain two.
- Add another three double crochets into the same loop space.
- Continue to the next loop, performing the pattern of three double crochets, two chains, and another three double crochets.
- Repeat this pattern for each loop space across the row to complete the first row.
Complete the first row by connecting the final stitches under the first two chains made:
- You may want to join with a slip stitch or by chaining and then starting the next row.
Change to light pink yarn to continue the pattern:
- Attach the new color yarn and follow the pattern established by making sets of three double crochets, two chains, and another three double crochets in each chain space.
- Continue this pattern, ensuring that you work three double crochets into the chain spaces between corners and the sets of three double crochets, two chains, and three double crochets into each corner's chain space.
- Continue this pattern for as many rows as needed for your project.
