Who Can Make This Crochet Beach Dress?
The Caladium Hexagon Cover-Up crochet pattern by Briana K Designs will suit those with intermediate experience. The designer provides clear written instructions and tips so you can complete it with ease. The garment features a geometric hexagon pattern worked mostly with simple stitches.
How to Crochet the Caladium Hexagon Cover-Up?
This crochet beach dress is built from two panels worked from the bottom up in rows. The pattern calls for basic stitches, except for stacked single crochets used at the beginning of each row and bobble stitches worked around the sleeve cut-outs.
Once both panels are ready, you seam them together, leaving the opening for the arms and a bottom slit (optional). The last step requires adding an i-cord for the waist.
What Yarn and Hook Will Work Best for This Pattern?
Cotton yarn is a go-to choice for crochet beach garments. To make this handmade cover-up tunic light and airy, Briana recommends using lightweight yarn such as Knit Picks Comfy Fingering. It’s a cotton-acrylic blend with a soft feel and good breathability. You will also need a 3.75 mm crochet hook to obtain the required gauge.
The pattern includes all women’s sizes ranging from X-small to 5X-large.
