Creating a Pocketed Dye Sorting Bikini Top

Introduction: Are you looking for a unique and functional bikini top? In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating a pocketed dye sorting bikini top. This project involves creating two pockets out of a simple hexagon shape, embroidering the design, and attaching the pockets to the base bikini. Let's dive in and get started!

Materials and Tools: Before we begin, gather the following materials and tools:

• Four ply Bendigo Woolen Mills cotton
• Four ply Sheepy's Katona yarn
• Crochet hook (4mm for the bikini pattern, 2mm for embroidery)
• Hexagon pattern (link provided in the description)
• Needle and thread
• Brown color yarn for sewing pockets

Creating the Hexagon: To start, make a loop in the yarn and chain three to form the first stitch. Work double crochet stitches into the loop, following the pattern instructions. Continue working groups of two double crochet stitches with two chains between each group. Join each row with a slip stitch and chain three to move up to the next row. Remember to increase by two stitches on each side by working double crochet, chain two, double crochet into each corner space. Make sure to count your stitches as you go and adjust if necessary.

Adding the Embroidery: Once the hexagon is complete, it's time to add the embroidery. Use a two-millimeter crochet hook to create a chain stitch around the outside of the hexagon, outlining the main shape. Choose your desired colors for the embroidery. Start by creating a triangle using the chain stitch as a guide. Then, add a smaller triangle inside, pointing the opposite way. Connect the points of the hexagon to the larger triangle. Secure the ends of the thread and embroider the numbers using a needle and thread.

Making the Pockets: To create the pockets, pin the embroidered hexagon to a cup and sew it in place using the brown color yarn. Use a whip stitch to ensure the stitches are close together and hidden. The pockets should be large enough to hold one set of polyhedral dice, providing a convenient and stylish dice jail.

Attaching the Pockets: With the pockets sewn onto the cup, the next step is to attach them to the base bikini. Use the same brown color yarn and whip stitch to secure the pockets in place. Make sure the stitches are small and close together to prevent the dice from escaping. Take care to maintain the overall integrity of the bikini fabric while attaching the pockets.

Testing Comfort and Functionality: Once the pocketed dye sorting bikini top is complete, it's time to test its comfort and functionality. The pockets should comfortably hold one set of dice each. When worn, the fabric should stretch slightly, creating a space for the dice without causing discomfort. Enjoy the convenience of having your dice always within reach during your gaming adventures.

Additional Ideas for Bikini Tops: If you're inspired to create more bikini tops, the possibilities are endless. Experiment with different themes, colors, and embellishments to make each design unique. Let your imagination run wild and create bikini tops that reflect your personal style and interests.

Personal Gaming Experience: As an avid tabletop RPG player, I want to share my personal gaming experience with you. I've been playing RPGs since my teens, with the Robotech RPG being the game that holds a special place in my heart. Gaming has its challenges, especially as a Game Master, but the enjoyment and community it brings make it worthwhile. Share your gaming experiences and let's celebrate the joy of tabletop RPGs together.

Conclusion: Congratulations on creating your pocketed dye sorting bikini top! This unique and functional garment allows you to combine your love for crochet and gaming in a stylish way.
