Here is a great tunic with some real mods for that summer fun! This lovely project uses double dup yarn to give it that drape and gravity that you just can’t get from a single layer. Also, the V-neck is adjustable as much as you like. So, the more “beachy” the lower the neckline. Have fun with this simple, but eminently enticing summer cover, good for the beach, but also good for the patio or BBQ!
How Do I Ensure My Tunic Has a Nice Drape?
We all love it when crocheted clothes are soft and drapey. If you want your handmade tunic to be both, choosing the right yarn and hook is crucial. Maria Bittner, the designer behind this gorgeous crochet tunic pattern, works it with two strands of fingering yarn held together and a 5 mm hook.
You can go for Red Heart It’s a Wrap or any other cotton-acrylic blend in fingering weight. It’s the perfect choice for this kind of project.100% cotton yarns can result in a sturdy and heavy fabric, which we certainly don’t want to happen. The acrylic blend is there to balance things out, ensuring the right softness and drape.
How to Crochet This Tunic
The Weekender Tunic and Beach Cover Up pattern is a project I wouldn’t recommend for beginners, though it’s not particularly difficult to handle. To make the tunic, you crochet two rectangles and join them at the shoulders and sides.
The fabric features a lot of openwork, which might be tricky for those with little experience. The stitch pattern features easy shell stitches combined with basic filet technique and double crochets.
Is This Tunic Pattern Available In Multiple Sizes?
I have very good news for you! The pattern offers instructions for all adult women’s sizes (from small to 5X), so you can easily adjust it to your body shape. The author also gives tips on how to modify the tunic’s general length and width. The V-neck can be easily adapted to your preference as well!
Whether you’re looking for a stylish summer tunic or a chic beach cover-up, this pattern can deliver both!
