The difference between a crochet bralette that fits and one that gapes or digs in almost always comes down to numbers you took before the first stitch. A size chart turns “I hope this fits” into a band length and cup height you can actually work to — no frogging three rounds in because the…
A solid crochet bikini is the make that proves you don’t need a fancy stitch to get a polished result — just clean rows and good cotton.

Some swimwear makes are all about the finish; this one is about the shaping. A crochet bikini top lives or dies on those triangle cups, and here they’re built in tidy concentric rows so the color-block center curves like a little sunrise bright blue framing yellow, white, and black.

Four squares and you’ve got a top this crop keeps granny-square dressing at its most classic, with bold navy borders framing pops of lime and aqua.

Little and lovely this sweet vest sizes the classic granny look down for toddlers, worked in crisp white with a single hand-crocheted rose blooming at the center. The airy cluster fabric keeps it breezy for warm days, and that purple flower gives it a handmade, heirloom-y touch that store bought can’t match. It’s a quick,…
