This beginner-friendly crochet speedo pattern is designed with simplicity and customization in mind. Using only the half double crochet stitch and gradual increases, it’s perfect for those newer to garment-making. The design is completely no-sew and held together by adjustable straps, making it easy to tailor the fit to your body. For a swim-ready finish, nylon yarn is recommended (with links provided to contact the store who sells nylon yarn or make your own by following my video tutorial), but alternative options like thin cotton yarns work great too. A customizable pattern template is also included, so you can plug in your own measurements and create the perfect fit from start to finish.
