Crochet Beach Cover Up Pattern – This crochet project is quite easy and suitable for beginners. Though most practical at the beach, it can also be accessorized in the spring and fall.
Though at day’s end you want a little shade and coverage, I still enjoy spending time in the sun in a bikini. It just seems tight and unclean, that t-shirt. I like these crochet beach cover up designs for that reason.
To make it as easy as possible, this five-page written crochet beach coverup design comes with a photo tutorial and a link to the video tutorial.
Sizes for ladies XS–4XL are included in this pattern. There are answers to any questions you might have while creating this design inside; if not, please mail me.

JOINING THE PIECES TOGETHER
We will sew the center back seam first. Laying your panels with the right side facing down, we’ll sew on the wrong side.
Lay the last row of each panel facing each other, using the tails that we left earlier for sewing. Using method of choice,
sew the center back 100( 100, 96, 96 ) st of each panel together. Check picture 1
SEW THE SIDE SEAM
Fold your project in half at the shoulder with the right side facing each other, we’ll sew on the wrong side.
Cut a new strand of yarn 70-80 inches long, enough to sew the bottom up to the arm pit. Sew 80( 80, 75, 75 ) st of the front and back side seam together.
Start sewing from the bottom up, using method of choice (If you want smaller arm holes, just sew more st.
If you want bigger arm holes, just sew less st). Check picture 2
