I don't know if it's just me, but the idea of a crocheted bikini just sounds....bad. Doesn't yarn stretch even worse when wet? The thing would be too warm to wear outside of a pool, and getting it wet would turn it into a wardrobe malfunction nightmare. This is just a waste of material that could have been used for something wearable.

Talk to women over 60.

I used to laugh at pictures and tales from my nan and other older people about the horrors of knitted swim wear from when they were young.

I feel bad for all the women who went swimming before spandex was invented

It looks like the cheapest shittiest acrylic yarn. That stuff doesn't stretch, it weighs a million pounds when it's wet, and isn't breathable at all. The worst combination of things to make swimwear out of. For comparison, I bought a pair of actual swim tights to wear doing laps before my gym shut down and even those tended to make me feel sluggish and awkward.
