Bikini patterns

[LadyNole08]

Hi ladies,

I actually viewed a lot of the patterns for bikinis but I picked a good top for what I want to crochet. I have a photo shoot coming up so here is my question. This link was picked from one of the posts here on the site: http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/visoppskrift.php?d_nr=95&d_id=26&lang=en. Is there a simpler pattern due to the time constraints I have and also, does anyone know of a thong or g-string bottom pattern? I feel like I just violated the rules with those words...lol :D I will keep looking around on the net but I really like that tasseled top and maybe wear it with something else. Oh yeah, before I forget, could I purchase the cotton/elastic yarn at JoAnn Fabrics? Thanks!

What brand/kind of yarn are you looking for?

Here are the links for 2 brands of yarn that are cotton/elastic:
If you are looking for Cascade Fixation (http://www.cascadeyarns.com/cascade-fixation.asp) yarn, try going here to locate a store in your area that carries it:
http://cascadeyarns.findlocation.com/
If you are looking for Elann.com Esprit (http://www.elann.com/ProductDisp.asp?Name=elann%2Ecom+Esprit&ProductType=5) or Esprit Print (http://www.elann.com/ProductDisp.asp?Name=elann%2Ecom+Esprit+Print&ProductType=5), go here:
http://www.elann.com/

(As far as I know, Joann's doesn't carry either brands of the above yarns or at least not the Joann stores in my area anyways.) Try looking at your LYS for either of those brands.

Here are some pattern links for swim suits (some patterns are free & some cost $$):
