It might look tricky but it is an easy pattern to make. It is a beautifully large crochet wrap that will be the new staple of your summer wardrobe.

How do you crochet a beach cover up dress?

There are many ways you can crochet a beach cover up. Whether you are looking to crochet a vest, dress, or a pullover style swimsuit cover, they all use open lacy stitches for a breathable fabric.

You can simply create a cover-up by crocheting simple shapes using beginner crochet stitches like two larger rectangles. You then sew them together along the long edge of the rectangle leaving an opening in the middle for the head.

Add a simple tie or a belt around your waist and you have a super simple, yet stylish beautiful crochet beach cover-up.

Take your bust measurements into consideration, and create arm openings by leaving space when sewing on the wrong side of the back panel to the front panel.

You can opt for basic crochet stitches to create an open fabric.

Filet crochet is a great technique using only chain stitch and double crochet stitch. You can create a great pattern for a bathing suit cover-up for a fun everyday look.
