Crochet Beach Cover up Pattern
Make 2 Panels The Same
ch 220, ch 1, turn,
(Bobble border)
- Row 1 – hdc into every ch, ch 1, turn,
- Row 2 – hdc into every ch, ch 1, turn,
- Row 3 – hdc into every ch, ch 1, turn,
- Row 4 (RS) – sc into the first st, *BO in next st, sc into next stitch, rep from * to the end of the row, ch 1, turn,
- Row 5 – hdc into every ch, ch 1, turn,
- Row 6 – hdc into every ch, ch 1, turn,
- Row 7 – hdc into every ch, ch 4, turn,
Start Main Pattern As Follows:
Row 1 – Tr in every st to the end of the row, ch 1, turn,
Row 2 – hdc in every st to the end of the row, ch 4, turn,
Repeat rows 1 and 2 – 13 more times, ending with an hdc row (row 2).
(Bobble Border)
Now you will work the bobble border to match the start of your panel.
- Row 1 – hdc into every ch, ch 1, turn,
- Row 2 – hdc into every ch, ch 1, turn,
- Row 3 – hdc into every ch, ch 1, turn,
- Row 4 (RS) – sc into the first st, *BO in next st, sc into next stitch, rep from * to the end of the row, ch 1, turn,
- Row 5 – hdc into every ch, ch 1, turn,
- Row 6 – hdc into every ch, ch 1, turn,
- Row 7 – hdc into every ch, ch 4, turn,
Finish with an ss in the last ch, cut the yarn, and secure.
The Bobble Edge Borders
When your panels are complete you will need to create a pretty bobble border edge on each of the shorter edges at each end of both panels (4 in total).
Do this as follows:
- Row 1 – hdc into every ch, ch 1, turn,
- Row 2 (RS) – sc into the first st, *BO in next st, sc into next stitch, rep from * to the end of the row, ss into the last ch, and secure.
Making Up
- To seam your beach cover-up – lie flat on a large surface to begin.
- With the darning needle weave in any loose ends that are not needed.
- With the wrong sides facing, sc the edges together for 20 inches/51 cm.
- Turn the work and repeat – sc the edges together for 20 inches/51 cm.
- This will leave a long opening in the center of the work – for your head to fit through.
- After that, you will need to sc the sides of the piece together – with the wrong sides facing sc the edges together for 16 inches/41 cm.
- Rep on the other side.
- This leaves long open armholes.
- *Please note – you can seam shorter or longer lengths than I have shown to depend on your own preferences – if you want the neck to be less or more open. If it is more open (a shorter seam), you will have a better view of your cleavage and back! The V will be larger.
I-cord belt with tassels
- The I-cord length measures = 82 inches/208 cm
- You can watch this video here to see how I created the I-cord.
I-cord written instructions:
Starting with 3 loops on your 4.5mm (US 7) hook, *pull up a loop through the second ch from hook and third ch from hook (3 loops on hook), slip these 2 loops onto a knitting or cable needle, 1 ch, (slip 1 loop from needle back onto the hook, 1 ch) twice.
Rep from * until I-cord is your desired length.
Finishing and Blocking
You may wish to block your shawl, you can do that as follows:
Make sure all ends are woven in using a tapestry needle or method of choice.
Gently block by filling a sink or water basin with lukewarm water, add a small amount of rinse less wool wash.
Place the items in the water and gently massage out any air bubbles.
Drain water, gently squeezing out any excess water from the item, then roll in a towel, and stomp on the towel roll to remove any more excess water.
Lay the item out on a towel to approx. finished wingspan measurements and allow to dry completely.
