What Yarn Do I Need for This Beach Cover Up Pattern?
This stylish crochet beach tunic pattern is worked with worsted-weight yarn. You can go for the yarn of your own choice or choose Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton. It’s a good quality 100% cotton yarn that comes in a wide range of shades.
The sample visible in the photos was made using White (100), Navy (110), and Grass (172) colors. The amount of yarn required to finish this project depends on the garment’s size.
Can Adjust My Beach Cover Up Tunic to Any Size?
The pattern is written for the smallest size, but it also offers instructions for other sizes in parentheses. This way, you choose between XS/S, M/L, and 1X/3X sizes. The smallest size is 42 inches (106.5 cm) in bust and 27 inches (68.5 cm) in length.
What Skill Level Should I Have Before Starting This Project?
Every upper beginner should be able to complete this project with ease. The beach cover-up pattern is worked in two identical panels that form the back and the front. It also uses simple stitches, including chains, single crochets, and double crochets that create the mesh texture.
When sewing both panels together, you need to leave side openings for the shoulders. The pattern also includes a simple lower edging that frame things up.
