Hi Tamara, I am back with a question this time! What kind of yarn can I use to crochet swim-wear that I can wear to the pool (i.e. chlorinated water). Any pointers will help immensely!
Thanks,
Neema

This is a tough one! They will usually have to be lined, but the yarn itself might be best if it's a cotton lycra blend, something a bit elastic.
Neema
That makes sense. Thank you, Tamara! Have a great day!

I don't know if you've tried these patterns, but I downloaded number 3 and I could not understand what she was trying to explain for the first part to start it? Any interpretation?

In the first row you work all the way around the starting chain, creating a sort of oval - except instead of joining, you turn, so that it stays flat on the end. Does that help?
