Looking Better

[atherleisure]

I did eight rows of single crochet around the top edge of the swimsuit instead of five, and with tight straps it will now provide sufficient coverage. I realized that with a stockinet bathing suit, you want it to be pretty well stretched when it's dry so that it doesn't become horrible when wet. Next up will be figuring out the straps. I'll get to those next week.

So close to the end!

Please define "horrible". Like if it dries unstretched it's unwearable?

Knit bathing suits have a reputation for sagging when wet. I figure if it’s pretty well stretched when dry, it can’t sag much when wet.

Aha, thank you.

I took a few rows put of the shoulders on the green and black suit. The arms are very tight and there's no way they'll stretch too much!
