Pick the Perfect Crochet Coverup for Your Swimsuit

Are you ready for warm summer days spent lounging beside the pool or on the beach, family trips to the lake, or finally a vacation? This year we all have a new appreciation for vacations and the opportunity to relax by the water. So celebrate this year with a beautiful crochet coverup for your swimsuit! Use these tips for choosing the perfect pattern.

Your Crochet Coverup Style

Where will you be wearing your coverup? Do you need one that is easy to take off before jumping in the pool and throwing back on as you relax poolside? Create the Pelagic Coverup or Beach Sarong in our coverup collection. The fact that you don’t have to pull these coverups over your head make them perfect for throwing on and off with wet hair.

Tip: Dry off completely before putting on a crochet coverup. As the yarn gets wet, it will become heavy and stretch. And definitely don’t jump into the water while wearing your coverup. That will mean you have to reblock and dry the entire piece.

The Jasmine Flower Dress and St. Tropez Tunic, on the other hand, are perfect if you plan to browse the boardwalk or simply lounge on the beach or in your own backyard oasis. These patterns can be used to create a more substantial crochet coverup which, with a simple shift, can double as a unique custom dress for your vacation.

Perfect Coverup Coverage

Motifs, lace, and more–crochet coverups can be created using almost any technique, from simple single crochet to really openwork crochet lace. It is important to understand how much coverage you want from your coverup.

If you’re looking for a little more coverage, the Marisa Dress or Geometry Dress might be perfect for you. These patterns are so comfortable, as dresses or as coverups.

Tip: Love the openwork lace but want a little more coverage? Layer your crochet coverup over thin fabric.

Not afraid of a little openwork lace in your coverup? Fall in love with the Coastal Tunic and the Zephyr Dress! The openwork crochet lace in these patterns is simply gorgeous. You can show off  your favorite swimsuit as well as your crochet talents.
