I used to sell the blank ones as well as the patterns when I worked at AC Moore in NJ. I think Dimensions made patterns; of course these were counted patterns and not stamped. You can also try Janlynn and DMC.

I saw one on Venus swimwear’s website, same style; two colors. One white, one tan/nude. I’ve bought a couple of bikinis from them (approx. 7 yrs ago) and they still look great. They are located in Florida. Best of all, they are made in the US & not China. http://www.venus.com

I made a crocheted bikini from worsted yarns probably 35 yrs ago. The pattern I used needed a lot of help, and was not wearable near the water. Be sure whatever you do that you add a strand of #30 crochet thread to your working strands so that it doesn’t stretch very much.The pattern I used called for crocheting 2 triangles that fit over the breasts connected by a crochet band and crochet neck strap.It was double crochet in the triangles and singles in the bands.More than that I cannot help as I cannot remember what magazine I found the pattern in. I do know it was one of the popular crochet mags of the time.

it means to do a single crochet decrease. I provided a link with a picture and a video. Good luck!

you take the yarn of each ball and hold both strands together and crochet with them as one.

Here’s a whole list of towel topper links from my favorite crochet pattern link site:http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/towel_toppers.phpYou could make them more festive by choosing a holiday themed towel and yarn in a Christmassy color.Merry Christmas!

I learned how to crotchet in 4th grade and I’ve never forgotten how. Try this YouTube site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVBnFHGbeK4&feature=relatedThe woman’s voice could put a hyperactive monkey to sleep, but she seems to know what she’s doing.Good luck!

You will be making a slip stitch into the very top stitch of the ch 3, and yes, ch 3 is a chain consisting of 3 chains. It can be a loop or just a spacer like in a granny square.EDIT: I have just followed your directions and made what you are making. You will be slip stitching into the 2nd chain ( middle one ). You go thru both loops. Hope this explains things a bit clearer.

Sounds like double crochet. At the end of the row, chain 3, turn the whole thing around, and continue on across the row.

Here’s a page that explains several methods for attaching crocheted tops to kitchen towels (along with some links to free patterns that may be helpful also): http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa032297.htm

We need a little more information to help you.I remember dresses where the top was crocheted, (like a normal top,) and a skirt was sewn on.I also remember dresses that had a little crocheting in the topmost part, but no more than just decoration.And many styles somewhere in between.If you add details to you question, or post a new question with more details, we can help you to find what you are looking for.If you do not want to wait for that, try entering dress, crochet+fabric into the search bar, Google have found me the most amazing things with no more information than that.

you are not going to be able to find those til like october. go to hat stores maybe they will have some.

I don’t think your going to find a published pattern for this. it looks like it could be a fun and possibly frustrating project! I would start by making a mesh base(like filet crochet) then fill in the grid using dc, chain3, dc in each square to mimic the tab part of the purse. You could maybe use metalic bedspead-weight cotton to give it the silver sheen.Hope this helps.Happy crocheting!

Your repertoire of 4 stitches is all you really need! I would work top down if it was me. As you work down and you get to the part where you want to widen the cape, you can add a stitch at the beginning of every row or add a stitch at the beginning and end of every row. Depends on how much flare-out you want at the ends!You could make a hood pretty easily of two rectangles seamed down the middle and across the top (think seamed L shape) and the attach the long unseamed back part across the back of the neck/top portion of the cap. It would work, even without shaping.Here are some for inspiration and general sizing/diagramming/yarn estimates, some are complete crochet patterns:http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/chs-cape.htmlhttp://web.archive.org/web/20011030193314/http://www.cei.net/~vchisam/groovy/7207.htmlhttp://groups.msn.com/TheCarrotPatchCarole/yourwebpage9.msnwhttp://groups.msn.com/TheCarrotPatchCarole/rahrahcape.msnwThe faerycrafty.com site is pretty neat, too.Try also lionbrand.com for free patterns.
