Crochet Beach Cover-Up
Being limited in my knowledge of crochet stiches and because I do it for relaxing, thus complicated designs mean I must concentrate solely on my project and cannot watch TV or listen to a podcast I decided to attempt to create a Beach Cover-up to use this summer, using yet again simple stitches, but I learned a new one! Treble Crochet stich!
And this is what I created:
My inspiration came from this:
I had bought a yarn with multiple colors, and I decided went well with one of my bathing suits and thus ideal for a beach cover up!
Using just treble crochet and double crochet creating a sort of a mesh here is how it began:
This is done in 2 panels
Back Panel
120 chains
1st Row – Double Crochet
2nd Row – Treble Crochet skip one and treble crochet
3rd Row – Treble crochet skip one and treble crochet in the next hole so as to be mismatch (unlike the inspiration where the stitch is on top of the other)
In my case for the back Panel I did 63 Rows in total
Front Panel
120 chains
1st Row – Double Crochet
2nd Row – Treble Crochet skip one and treble crochet
3rd Row – Treble crochet skip one and treble crochet in the next hole so as to be mismatch (unlike the inspiration where the stitch is on top of the other)
Form the 45th row onwards until the 63rd row I started to decrease and only worked one side at the time to create de v-neckline. At the end I stitched a single crochet all around the v neckline.
In order to maintain the colors, I had to use a new yarn skein so as to match the colors on both sides of the v neckline.
At the end just stitched along the collar and left some room for the arms and stitched on either side!
When all parts were swoed together at the end I stitched a single crochet all around the v neckline, to give it a finishing.
Pretty simple and it was a success this summer! I do believe the yarn had something to do with this!

As always I must say I am not a designer and thus obtain assistance from youtube when creating my own projects this time I was inspired to create my own version of a beach cover-up using the assistance of Free Beginner Bernat Beachy Keen Cover Up Crochet Pattern | Yarnspirations, whom I thank
New Stiches:
There is a new stich here which is the treble crochet you can learn here: Treble crochet (trc) - Nordic Hook - Crochet stitch tutorial
Please refer to my other posts for the other stiches mentioned or visit Nordic Hook Libray very useful to remeber old and learn new stiches - Stitches - Nordic Hook
I never tire of thanking all whom have helped turn my visons into reality by teaching the necessary steps to get there!
