Crochet Swimsuit Coverup Pattern & Tutorial

The coverup is user-friendly, suitable for beginners and experts alike, with clear, step-by-step instructions guiding you through the process. Customizable in length and color, it lets you express your individual style effortlessly. Whether you prefer a vibrant hue or a more subtle shade, the possibilities are endless.

Tip:

Use cotton yarn for a cooler, more breathable finish that withstands moisture from the ocean or pool.

Materials Needed:

• Crochet Hook (Size not specified in the provided content)
• Yarn (Type and weight not specified in the provided content)
• Scissors

Getting Started:

Foundation Double Crochet (FDC) Row:

Make a slip knot and chain two.

• Yarn over, insert your hook into the first chain (second chain from the hook), yarn over and pull up a loop.
• Yarn over, pull through one loop (creating the chain), then yarn over, pull through two loops twice to complete your first double crochet.
• For the next stitch and onward, yarn over and insert your hook into the chain you created (under both loops on the bottom of that stitch), yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through one, then complete your double crochet as normal.
• Continue the foundation double crochet for the desired number of stitches for your size. For demonstration, Lindsay uses 12 stitches but mentions any even number will work for this pattern.

Row 2: Creating Space

Chain 3 to begin (this counts as your first double crochet and chain one for Row 2).

• Skip the stitch at the base of the turning chain and place your first double crochet into the next stitch.
• Chain one, skip the next stitch, and double crochet into the following stitch.
• Continue this pattern across the row: Double crochet, chain one, skip one, until reaching the last stitch.
• Make one last double crochet in the final stitch from the row below.

Row 3: Building the Pattern

Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet and chain one).

• Double crochet right into the chain space/gap from the row below, then chain one.
• Continue this sequence across the row: Double crochet into the next gap, chain one.
• Place your final double crochet into the gap formed by the turning chain and the chain one from the previous row.

Repeating the Pattern:

• Repeat Row 3 for the entire pattern. This Row 3 pattern is the core repeat for both panels of the cover-up. The pattern builds up by continually double crocheting into the chain spaces and chaining one in between.

Joining & Finishing:

• After creating two panels following the repeat instructions, fasten off.
• Seam the panels together as desired to create the cover-up shape.
• A separate tutorial is available for creating a crochet cord belt, which is linked in the description of the original video. This belt adds a finishing touch to the swimsuit cover-up.
