ADVICE:  A cord can be a simple chain as is the case in this pattern, but there are many other ways to make a cord.  A cord can be made by twisting, braiding or using the technique of macramé.

STITCHES USED:
1.  Chain
(ch)
2.  Single crochet
(sc)
3.  Half double crochet
(hdc)
4.  Double crochet
(dc)
5.  Slip stitch
(sl st)

PATTERN STITCHES:
1.  Picot: 
in the same st work:  (1 sc, ch 3 and 1 dc), skip 2 sts
2.  Fancy st:  * 1 dc, ch 1, skip 1 st *; on following rows work the dc between the dc of the previous row.

GAUGE:  24 sts = 4";  11 rows = 4"

DIRECTIONS:
PANTS (60 grs for the 2nd size)
Begin by top part of front.
Chain 78 (80-82) and work in dc.  Work 4 rows even, then:

Shape crotch:  at each edge, every row, leave unworked:  23 (24-25) sts (once); and 2 sts (4 times).  Work 5 rows even on the remaining 16 sts then for back, at each edge, every row, increase 1 st (once); 2 sts (18 times); and 2 (3-4) sts (once).  Work even on the 94 (96-98) sts thus obtained for 4 rows.  Break yarn and fasten off.

Finishing:  Make a border at top of front and back of pants by working 4 rows of Fancy st, 1 row of sc and 1 row of picot.  Make a border around each leg edge by working 2 rows of sc.  On wrong side of work join sides with 1 row of sc.  Insert elastic thread at waist and leg edges.

BRA (30 grs for the 2nd size)
Right cup: 
Chain 35, and work in dc, working 2 dc in the center st on each row (8 times) -- 43 sts.  At the same time at right edge, on Row 3, work 6 sc, 1 hdc, and work the other sts in dc, ending row with 1 hdc and 1 sc.  Then work 5 rows leaving unworked at each edge, on first row: 6 sts, and beginning and ending each row with 3 sc and 1 hdc to shape the cup.  Then work 1 row of dc on all the sts (even those left unworked at beg of row) -- thus on 43 sts.  Continue in Fancy st leaving unworked at each edge:  3 sts (once); then on each row, 2 sts (9 times).  Break yarn and fasten off.

Work left cup same as right cup but reversing shapings.

Finishing:  Work 10 sc at left edge of right cup.  Continue in sc, leaving unworked at right edge, on each row:  1 st (8 times).  Break yarn and fasten off.  Work a border on left cup same as right cup but reversing shapings.  Work a border around top of each cup with 2 rows of sc and 1 row of picot.  On wrong side of work join the two cups with 1 row of sc.  At lower edge of bra, work 2 rows of sc.  Make two 10" cords for the back and two 16" cords for neck tie strings.
