The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition 2012 hit the stands today and so we poured over the hundreds of images made available for the issue. While neon colors and whimsical prints seem to be featured every year, for 2012, the editors seemed to have also fallen in love with red designer swimwear, in all shapes and cuts. Colorblocking was also heavily present. Finally, there were lots - and we mean lots - of crochet made swimsuits. Below, you can see a collection of our favorite suits - we either liked them because they feature something interesting and unique or because of their elegant simplicity:
