Rohn Strong has created the perfect addition to your beach wardrobe with the Shore Thing Crochet Beach Dress. This crochet beach cover up is worked with It’s A Wrap from Red Heart and is a FREE pattern. It might be a weight #1 yarn but that is nothing to be afraid of. Work through the two part video tutorial and you will have each section mastered to make your own crochet beach cover up.
Crochet Beach Cover Up:
Before getting started on this pattern please know that it may take you a little longer than other patterns using worsted weight yarn. This crochet beach cover-up is worked with a super fine weight yarn and a small hook. Although it may take you a little longer to finish, the final results will be worth all of the effort!
Worked in two rectangles and sewn together this pattern is one that you can easily take with you. The start and end of each triangle is worked on the bias to give a great sectioned look.
Inside the pattern you will find a chart for each section of the dress. This allows you to move along the pattern with not only the written instructions but also a chart, and video tutorial. If you have never used charts before now it is a great time to start. Learn how to read crochet charts with my video tutorial.
Not only is this dress perfect for a beach cover up but you could also add a liner and it would be a perfect summertime dress.
Video Notes:
- For the tutorial I am making a smaller version of the crochet beach cover-up to show you how to work the technique, but not make the full dress.
- This video tutorial is broken into two parts. The video was quite long so I put two parts so that you could stop to work on the main body in the middle.
- Rohn designed this pattern using a super fine weight yarn. Be sure to budget more time for this project vs. one worked with worsted weight.
- Find both written and charted instructions in this pattern.
It’s a Wrap:
This pattern is stitched up using It’s a Wrap by Red Heart. This is a super fine (weight #1) yarn that is a cotton acrylic blend.
It’s a Wrap was introduced by Red Heart during the rise of the cake yarn craze. Red Heart didn’t jump on the bandwagon with this one but rather filled a void. Most of the cake yarns available were all of a thicker weight. This was the first superfine weight cake yarn to be found in the mainstream crafting environment.
Each skein/cake of It’s A Wrap comes with a generous amount of yarn, 1,100 yards to be exact. Making it idea for shawls and wraps. With SEVEN different color choices I am sure you will find something that fits with the project that you love.
