Continue knitting by repeating the following pattern five times: for the first row, bind off six stitches and purl to the end. For the second row, knit one, make one, knit to the last stitch and turn your work.
Bind off the remaining six stitches on your needle.
Repeat steps 5 through 9 to make the right cup but instead of making one stitch at the beginning of the row, make one stitch at the end. This is called reverse shaping.
Make the straps by casting on four stitches and working in stockinette until you have reached the desired length. Bind off all stitches and weave in any ends cheap lingerie.
Block each piece of the bra by pinning to a flat surface and spraying liberally with water. Allow to dry naturally.
With yarn and tapestry needle, sew the left and right cup to the bra band and then sew each strap in place.
Thread satin ribbon through each end of the bra band and tie in a bow to secure in place.
How do you remove a bikini top? Untie around the neck and mid-back. Some bikini tops may fool you by tying around the neck, but still having a clasp around the back.
If there are clasps in front, use both hands to push the clasp inward. If the clasp does not come undone, push inward, then pull one side upward so the clasp can slide out.
If the clasps are in the back, use both hands to push each side inward to unhook. Some bikini tops also hook in the back, but the hook must be pulled up out of a loop instead of being pushed inward.
Pull bra off of the arms and away from the body. Back clasping bras will be pulled toward you, while front clasping bras you will pull off of the back.
Celebrate. Act like a pro, as if you knew what you were doing the whole time.
