Crochet swimwear brings together small-scale shaping, expressive color, and the pleasure of choosing every detail. A simple triangle set feels completely different from a pineapple-lace monokini or a floral bikini. These 16 complete-project patterns offer both two-piece sets and connected swimsuits, with three free options and thirteen paid designs. Each entry links directly to its designer or publisher and explains the available sizing, so you can choose a realistic starting point before buying yarn.
The illustrations are original styling and color inspiration, not photographs of items made or tested for this article. Check each designer’s photographs for exact construction; lining, motifs, borders, ties, and color placement may differ, as noted below. A swimwear pattern name does not establish wet-use performance. Follow the designer’s yarn and elastic guidance, check opacity and recovery with a sample, and assess fit and coverage for your intended use. Decorative crochet can also be enjoyed as beach or poolside fashion.

1.) Mesh Bikini Set With a High-Rise Silhouette
A mesh bikini gives a single strong color room to shine. The Mesh Bikini Set pairs a fitted top with a higher waist, creating a different proportion from the familiar string bikini. An orange version feels lively against sand-colored accessories, while a darker shade makes the openwork more graphic. Study the designer’s photographs to judge the mesh spacing and the Brazilian brief’s limited back coverage before choosing this project. The listed elastic at the top matters to the intended fit; do not treat decorative ties as a substitute. Our illustration adds a small central opening and a lined appearance, so use the pattern for the actual shaping and fabric treatment.

2.) Dutiers Bikini With Contrasting Borders
A narrow cream outline makes olive crochet look crisp without overwhelming the stitches. Dutiers’ complete bikini set is a useful option when you want coordinated top and bottom instructions with a clean triangle-cup look. Its made-to-measure approach asks for careful measuring rather than simply choosing a ready-to-wear size. Check both cup coverage and the high-cut Brazilian bottom shape against your preferences. The designer uses yarn held double and discusses optional elastic thread, details that affect the fabric and should guide your swatch. Our dress-form illustration is a color study; border depth, ties, and final coverage should follow the purchased pattern and the designer’s examples.
Pattern and credit: Dutiers Bikini With Contrasting Borders — Dutiers. Access and fit: Paid PDF delivered by email. Made-to-measure top guidance is advertised for AA–H cups; bottoms XXS–6XL. Personal home use only, with no commercial sales of finished pieces under the stated terms. Save the files: the FAQ says orders older than two years cannot be resent.
3.) Patons Bikini With Delicate Scalloped Edges
Small scallops soften the edges of this traditional triangle bikini without changing its straightforward character. Patons’ pattern is especially appealing for a restrained palette such as terracotta, muted blue, or warm ivory, where the outline stays visible. The fine cotton and small hook specified in the PDF produce a different fabric from chunky decorative crochet, so begin with the intended materials and gauge. Pay particular attention to the sizing limits: the cup options do not mean the bottom is graded to match every wearer. The instructions include elastic thread at the bottom. Our flat lay interprets the color and arrangement; compare the publisher’s photograph for the exact edging and tie layout.

4.) MINT Bikini With Fresh White Accents
Mint and white create an airy combination that makes a simple bikini feel thoughtfully coordinated. RSdesign’s MINT set keeps the triangle cups recognizable and uses pale accents to define the edges and ties. This is a good visual direction for someone who likes color but prefers a quiet alternative to neon. Choose the project for its actual S–M sizing rather than assuming the listing’s adult label includes a broader range. The designer recommends cotton or a cotton blend and provides a specific hook size, which should anchor the first sample. Our illustration adds a more textured underbust border; follow the original photographs and PDF for the precise border construction.

5.) Collette Monokini With a Plunging Front
A deep front opening gives the Collette monokini a strong vertical line. Solid crochet around the cups and lower body balances the open waist sides, making an earthy olive shade particularly effective. Before committing, compare the torso length and neckline with the designer’s finished photographs; a one-piece garment needs more than a correct hip measurement. The listed cotton-and-elastic yarn is an important part of this design’s intended fabric, so a substitute needs its own gauge and stretch checks. Our illustration presents the general plunging silhouette in a different setting. The exact connection points, neckline, back coverage, and finishing belong to the designer’s instructions rather than the styling image.

6.) Tropic Twist Swimsuit in Two Bright Colors
Tropic Twist turns contrasting colors into the main design feature. Fuchsia and orange create a cheerful combination, and the central floral detail gives the eye a clear focal point between the upper and lower sections. When choosing colors, keep enough contrast for the flower to read clearly instead of disappearing into the surrounding stitches. The designer recommends a specific bikini yarn, so an ordinary cotton replacement should not be assumed to behave the same way. Review the linked designer notes and current PDF before starting. Our illustration changes the placement of the two colors and the flower’s appearance; consult Jane Green’s photographs for the actual cup arrangement, connections, and intended proportions.

7.) Coralline Bikini With Subtle Decorative Edging
Coralline offers a pretty direction for a bikini that relies on detail rather than a complicated color scheme. A soft gray version allows the edging to stand out along the triangle cups and coordinating briefs, while a single warmer shade would make the same outline feel more relaxed. Look closely at the designer’s elastic guidance and both listed hook sizes before deciding that the fabric can be changed freely. Matching gauge across the two pieces helps the set look intentional. Our hanging display interprets the color and edging, with small differences in the border and ties. Use the designer’s photos to judge the original finish and the amount of coverage provided.
Pattern and credit: Coralline Bikini With Subtle Decorative Edging — Jessica Tsung / Jess Root Knots. Access and fit: Paid Ravelry PDF, sizes XS–XXL. The listing’s terminology metadata and descriptive notes differ; check the purchased PDF’s stitch terminology before starting.
8.) Mitti Bikini With Wider Straps and Lace Details
Wider shoulder straps change the visual balance of a crochet bikini, giving Mitti a more substantial frame around the neckline. Ivory emphasizes that structure while allowing the lacy areas to remain the main decoration. The project is worth considering if you enjoy working edging as carefully as the main fabric, rather than leaving all the interest to color. Read the elastic requirements before shopping, and check the foundation technique if it is unfamiliar. Our illustration shows an opaque backing beneath some openwork and interprets the lace more freely. That backing is a styling choice, not a promise that the pattern includes lining instructions; follow the original construction and assess support separately.
Pattern and credit: Mitti Bikini With Wider Straps and Lace Details — Jessica Tsung / Jess Root Knots. Access and fit: Paid Ravelry PDF, sizes XS–4XL. The materials include 4 mm elastic band; the pattern uses foundation single crochet and decorative edging.
9.) Daffodils Forever Bikini for Floral Color Play
Daffodils Forever is a cheerful choice for someone who wants flowers to be part of the garment’s identity. A pale base gives yellow, lilac, and coral accents space to stand out, while a narrower palette would make the finished set easier to coordinate. Think about motif placement before changing colors so the top and bottom remain visually related. The designer’s support note is important when deciding whether this style suits your intended wear. Our image adds dimensional daffodil-like flowers for decorative inspiration; the original pattern uses its own flatter motif treatment. Follow the designer’s motif instructions and photographs, and do not expect the added flowers shown here to emerge from the pattern unchanged.
Pattern and credit: Daffodils Forever Bikini for Floral Color Play — Lindsey George. Access and fit: Paid Ravelry PDF. The designer advertises adaptable XS–3X-and-up sizing and AA–G-and-up cup guidance. The bralette is explicitly not intended to provide bra-level support.
10.) Green Is the New Gold With Graphic Stripes
Horizontal green and ivory bands make this plunging halter swimsuit feel graphic and deliberate. The stripe rhythm helps connect the upper and lower areas, so planning the color changes before starting is more useful than choosing shades at random. Check how the bands meet the open sides in the designer’s photographs, especially if you are adjusting the length. Customizable sizing still requires accurate measurements and a fabric sample. The listing names stretch yarn options that should guide material selection. Our illustration broadens some stripes and changes the surrounding styling; use the purchased instructions for the original shaping, hip details, tie arrangement, and distribution of the colored sections across the finished garment.
Pattern and credit: Green Is the New Gold With Graphic Stripes — Andrea Campbell / The Curly Vine. Access and fit: Paid five-page Ravelry PDF. The design is customizable rather than presented as a conventional numerical graded range.
11.) Lace Bralette Bikini With a Romantic Outline
Lavender gives a lacy bikini a gentle, romantic quality without hiding the openwork. Deborah O’Leary’s coordinated bralette and bottoms are a useful starting point when decorative edging matters as much as the center of each piece. Look at the actual bottom shape before choosing a size: a Brazilian cut remains minimal even when the measurements are correct. The listed cotton-and-linen yarn and hook provide a starting point for the intended texture, not a guarantee of swimming performance. Our illustration interprets the floral lace and shows a more opaque backing. Check the designer’s photographs for the exact repeat, and decide on any lining separately instead of assuming it is included in the pattern.
Pattern and credit: Lace Bralette Bikini With a Romantic Outline — Deborah O’Leary. Access and fit: Paid Ravelry PDF. Cups A, B, C, D, and D+; bottoms XS, S, M, and L. The Brazilian-style bottom offers minimal coverage.
12.) Hollow Monokini With an Asymmetric Opening
The Hollow Monokini uses a large opening through the middle to make an otherwise compact garment feel sculptural. Orange brings energy to the shape, while a dark neutral would emphasize the asymmetric upper section more strongly. This is a project to assess from several angles in the designer’s listing, because an interesting front silhouette does not tell you everything about the back or the fit of the joining areas. The limited S–M range deserves attention before purchase. Our illustration follows the broad idea of an open center but varies the opening and neckline proportions. Use the original instructions for the attachment points, and check the intended yarn and fit requirements before substituting materials.

13.) Floral Bikini Body in Blue and White
A blue-and-white floral swimsuit brings a fresh contrast between detailed cups and an open connecting panel. Choosing the floral option keeps the motif story consistent from the top into the body, while a restrained two-color palette prevents the design from becoming visually crowded. Check the pattern’s own motif construction before planning extra embellishments. Our image adds prominent white daisy details and interprets the mesh spacing; those features are decorative inspiration rather than an exact preview of the PDF. Compare the original photographs for the integrated floral treatment. Measure torso length as carefully as cup and hip dimensions, because changing the connecting panel can alter the relationship between the upper and lower sections.

14.) Sunset Bikini With a Choice of Cup Styles
Sunset is a useful free option when you want to compare small style decisions within one complete bikini project. The designer offers alternative cup and edging treatments, so read the options before beginning rather than mixing details halfway through. A clear pink shade makes the scalloped outline easy to see and looks lively against a quiet background. The bottom is a low-rise Brazilian style, which is worth checking against your preferred coverage. The designer recommends microfiber with elastane; keep that material guidance in view when sampling. Our illustration selects a simple triangle-and-scallop direction, but tie placement and exact edging should be taken from the complete instructions and the designer’s own examples.
Pattern and credit: Sunset Bikini With a Choice of Cup Styles — Trishagurumi. Access and fit: Free complete web pattern for both top and bottom, without a required account. Sizes S–L and EU cups A–C, with adjustment notes and alternative cup and edging treatments.
15.) Passion Fruit Monokini With a Mesh Connector
Passion Fruit balances shaped cups and a solid lower section with an open mesh connector through the torso. Plum is a rich choice for emphasizing the difference between dense fabric and airy stitches without needing several colors. Study the designer’s mesh panel and underbust area before adjusting the length; both influence how the upper and lower parts sit together. The pattern specifies a cotton yarn with elastic content, which should inform any substitution. Our illustration changes the mesh spacing and some cup shaping for visual inspiration. The designer’s photos and PDF provide the actual construction, and the listed cup range should be checked separately from the chest measurement when choosing a size.
Pattern and credit: Passion Fruit Monokini With a Mesh Connector — Maria Bittner / Pattern Paradise. Access and fit: Paid Ravelry PDF. Adult S, M, and L, with a listed 32–42 inch chest range and A, B, and C cups. Old promotional codes on historic posts should not be assumed current.
16.) Pineapple-Lace Swimsuit With a Long Central Panel
A long pineapple-lace panel gives this green swimsuit an elegant vertical emphasis. The open center contrasts with the more solid cups and briefs, making a single leaf-green shade feel detailed without extra decoration. This free project includes the connected garment rather than only the bikini top, so read the joining and finishing sections before choosing yarn. Jane Green specifies stretch yarn and a small hook; the resulting fabric matters to the intended proportions. Our flat lay interprets the lace arrangement and border depth, so compare the designer’s photographs for the exact pineapple sequence. Check the limited bottom sizing carefully, and assess the torso length before treating cup adjustments as a complete fit solution.
Pattern and credit: Pineapple-Lace Swimsuit With a Long Central Panel — Jane Green / Beautiful Crochet Stuff. Access and fit: Free complete web pattern. Listed cup guidance is 32/34 B, C, and D; the designer’s bottom-size note is S–M, rather than an unrestricted size range.
Choose Your Pattern With Fit in Mind
Choose your first project by its measurements, coverage, and construction before choosing its color. A familiar triangle set, a wider-strapped bikini, and a connected monokini ask different things of the fit. Save the original pattern, keep its yarn and elastic notes together, and work a sample before committing to the garment. Use these illustrations to explore a palette or an overall mood, then return to the designer’s photographs and instructions for the real stitchwork. Thoughtful material choices and small fit checks will help you make a piece that suits your own beachwear plans.
