Materials Needed
- Yarn: Lightweight cotton yarn (recommended in a soft seafoam green)
- Crochet Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
- Gauge: 14 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in double crochet
- Scissors: For cutting yarn
- Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Foundation Chain:
Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 120 stitches (or adjust to your desired width for the bust). Once you have your chain, join it with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a circle. Be careful not to twist the chain as you join.
- Round 1:
Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet, dc). Now, work a dc in each chain around the circle. When you reach the end of the round, join with a sl st to the top of the beginning chain-3.
- Rounds 2-10:
Begin each round with a chain 3. For each round, work the following pattern: *dc in the next 4 stitches, chain 2, skip the next 2 stitches*. Repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning chain-3 at the end of the round.
- Rounds 11-20:
Start each round with a chain 3. In this section, simply work a dc in each dc and chain across the round. Finish by joining with a sl st to the top of the beginning chain-3.
- Rounds 21-30:
Repeat the pattern from Rounds 2-10 to create a lovely lacy effect. Remember to join with a sl st at the end of each round.
- Rounds 31-40:
For these rounds, begin with a chain 3 and work a dc in each stitch around the circle. Join with a sl st at the end of each round.
- Finishing:
Once you have completed the last round, fasten off your yarn and weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle. If necessary, block your cover up to shape it perfectly.
Now you have your very own Ocean Breeze Crochet Cover Up! Enjoy wearing this beautiful piece on your summer adventures, and don’t forget to share your creations with friends and family!
