Do you remember those pointed bras from Madonna? Well, this designer has certainly been successful in achieving that look with crocheting. I feel a bit bad for this model…I’m mean it’s obvious she’s an amateur and probably getting paid next to nothing to model this for the designer but oh dear, oh my, how embarassing to pose in a bathing suit that makes your chest look pointed. Too funny!! Oh, the pattern only costs $2…wonder why? The finished product is usually a good indication how well the pattern was written and obviously, this is one bad pattern! And to make your model look 20 pounds heavier isn’t a good sign either.

My goodness…it looks like it was made from plastic canvas!

OH WOW, poor thing! I can’t believe these things on your site!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA

I think this is an attempt at hypnotism… reminds me a lot of the snake’s eyes from Disney’s The Jungle Book.
Honestly, though… it would be a bad crochet even without the pointy boobs and the weird colors. Knit and crocheted swimwear is really never a good idea. And this type of suit… with the top attached to the bottom, is just the most unflattering design.

The pointy boobs might be the best part. My thought..make ‘ em pointy and BIG.
For those of us without perfect bodies, they might help to detract from some vital areas.
They’ve let modesty prevail and decided against a high cut leg in favor of the low rider.
I just keep wanted to reach in, and pull that fabric upward on the sides,
where I KNOW my hips would be taking advantage of the large fat escape holes.

holy mother of dog. why why why???
February 5, 2006 at 2:19 pm
Yes, it does look like plastic canvas! Vile!!!
I just feel sorry for the model–she probably looks great in a non-crocheted bathing suit. She should go shoot whoever talked her into this fat-enhancing gear.

yikes!….lol!

Just imagine this thing when it gets wet.
February 6, 2006 at 2:33 pm
that scares me who would wear that.i feel imbarased for her!
February 8, 2006 at 10:38 am
I love it! Give me pointy boobs, please!
Seriously, has anyone everhefted a large piece of wet crochet? This thing, and all knitted or crocheted swimsuits, will be so heavy that the first time the bathing beauty is splatted down by a wave, she will never get up again.

The first thing I thought of was trying to wring out a crocheted afghan. They weigh at least 150 lbs.

I have just one word of advice before contemplating this sort of project: STROBING!
If, after just one short glance, you close your eyes and still see that pattern (only with the colours reversed), then consider your retinas duly fried.
‘Nuff said.

In the early 80s I had a blue and white bathing suit just like this but it was not crocheted, it was made out of spandex. I am frightened that someone tried to duplicate it in crochet form as it was bad enough the first time around in the original spandex form.

You all should post warnings – just happened across your site…. between the blurry eyes from looking at the swimsuit and the side splitting from laughing at all those comments…and falling out of my chair from laughing so hard… a person can get hurt — oh well, I still think you need to post warnings…. LOL

You know, I am sure I have seen this pattern (different colors, still f-ugly) in one of my old crochet patterns mags, a ’70s (maybe late 60′s) McCall’s N&C or some such…..so, not even ORIGINALLY icky.

i want to know where they get the people to model this stuff at maybe the bathing beauties and the giant bummy with the tail on his face could get together for a photo shoot

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLZ thank you guys for the great laugh!!!

My grandmother crocheted a blue and white bikini for me out of some synthetic material when I was nary seven or eight. I remember wearing it ONCE while playing in the sprinkler with my siblings. ONCE was it, due to the terrible chafing to the girly bits and the horrified look on my mother’s face when I had to draw her attention to this painful Bikini Rub.

What happened? The 70′s are back?(no can’t be there never back)
April 17, 2007 at 1:42 am
Must come with a warning – DO NOT GET IT WET, but I maybe make it in black and white when I’ve gained another 30lbs! and use it to hypnotise the hubby to think otherwise….
May 11, 2007 at 3:01 pm
Egad, mate…where do they find the models for these things? To be honest, they kind of look like hookers.
May 23, 2007 at 2:31 am
Looks like illusion knitting…here the illusion is shes actually happy to be modeling it
November 10, 2007 at 12:12 pm
Oh man, i laughed so hard my eyes are watering.
May 9, 2008 at 4:15 am
haha you bummy
May 12, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Can anybody tell me the name of this website, I know this is old but this is my last shot at finding a pattern like this!
August 15, 2008 at 9:23 am
she looks like a traffic barrier.
September 11, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Hahah I had a bathing suit in this shape. Way back in the 80′s. And it sure as heII wasn’t crocheted.
It surely needs to be worked up in Hunters Orange and lime green. Or Neon red and green, for the holidays!
November 17, 2010 at 4:32 pm
wow, looking at this thing gave me a minor seizure….
