    • Work 2 double crochets (dc) into the ring.

    • You should have 5 clusters of 3 dc separated by ch-2 spaces.

  4. Join: Slip stitch into the top of the initial ch-3 to close.

Round 2: Forming the Points

  1. Setup: Slip stitch into the next stitch to reach the center of the 3-dc cluster.

  2. Point Sequence: In the first ch-2 space, work: 1 half-double crochet (hdc), 1 double crochet (dc), 1 triple crochet (tr).

  3. Peak: Chain 2.

  4. Reverse: Work back into the same space: 1 tr, 1 dc, 1 hdc.

Round 4 & Beyond: Custom Sizing

  1. Repeat the logic of Round 3 (sc up the sides, hdc-dc-ch2-dc-hdc in the peak, sc down the side).

  2. Continue adding rounds until the star is large enough for your cup size. The tutor recommends about two additional rounds for a standard size.

  3. Finish: Fasten off and weave in the center tail. Repeat all steps to make a second star.

Assembly: The Straps

  1. Attach Yarn: On each of the top 3 or 4 points of the star, insert your hook into the ch-2 peak and pull through a new strand of yarn.

  2. Chains: Work 60 to 70 chains to create the ties. Repeat for all desired points.

  3. Tie-Up:

    • Neck: Tie the top points together behind your neck.

    • Back: Use the side points to wrap around your ribs and tie in the back.

Conclusion

Finishing this star bikini provides you with a playful and personalized summer look. By mastering the sequence of increasing stitch heights (hdc to tr), you’ve created sharp, clean points that hold their shape. Once you have finished your second star and attached the long ties, your handmade top is ready for the beach.

Pro Tip: To ensure the stars lay flat against your body and don’t curl at the points, lightly steam block them with an iron (hold the iron 2 inches away, do not touch the yarn) before attaching the straps.
