Stitch Pattern
The following is a list of rounds that are used throughout the making of this garment. You will refer to this list when making the thong bottom (front and back) and when making the bra cups. You won't always need to work every single round. In fact, most of the time you will only use a few of them. I provided so many rounds because of the need for different bra cupsizes.
Rnd 1: Ch 9, dc in ninth ch from hook [8 skipped chs count as first tr plus ch 4], ch 4, (tr, ch 4, dc, ch 4) twice [in same ch you made the dc in]; join with sl st to first tr. [6 sts and 6 ch spaces] Rnd 2: Ch 7[counts as first tr plus ch 3, now and throughout], dc in same st, ch 3, dc in next dc, ch 3, \*(dc, ch 3, tr, ch3, dc) in next tr, ch 3, dc in next dc, ch 3; rep from \* once more, dc in same st as first tr, ch 3; join with sl st to first tr. [12 sts and 12 ch spaces]
NOTE: Each round is a continuation of the same stitches and stitch groups. There is very little variation except for the increases that occur naturally. The graphs were provided to help you to see how it all looks when it's done and because words alone don't always give you sufficient instruction to feel confident that you are making it right the first time. Rnd 3: Ch 7, dc in same st, ch 3, (dc in next dc, ch 3)3 times; \*(dc, ch 3, tr, ch 3, dc) in next tr, ch 3, (dc in next dc, ch 3)3 times; rep from \* once more, dc in same st as first tr, ch 3; join with sl st to first tr.
