How To

1. Fit Note: Add more rows for fuller coverage or fewer for a smaller fit. Try on as you go for best shape.

2. Yarn Choice: Mercerized cotton is ideal for swimwear as it holds up to moisture and sun.

3. Optional Edging: Add a picot or shell border for a decorative edge.

4. Care Tip: Rinse in cool water after pool/beach use and lay flat to dry.
