Choosing a Yarn

If you don't plan on swimming, any yarn of any weight will work for this pattern.

If you plan on swimming, choose a yarn that is stretchy and quick-drying. The best fiber types are synthetic and stretchy (like acrylic, nylon, polyester, and spandex). Cotton and plant fibers will work, but they may get heavy when wet.

The best yarn weight is 3-light, but a 2-fine or 4-medium would be okay.

Choosing a Crochet Hook

If your yarn is 3-light or lower, use a hook one size smaller than the recommended size — this is to prevent large gaps in your piece.

Otherwise, the recommended hook size will do.
