Are you ready for a free Crochet Summer Beach Cover Up? What about two different yet the same crochet summer cover-ups that will add some handmade flair to your summer wardrobe? 

If yes, join us and be part of our Crochet-Along (CAL), and let’s create these easy crochet beach cover-ups together.

We’re beyond excited to invite you to our first Crochet-Along (CAL), featuring stunning crochet beach cover-ups designed in partnership with the talented designer Elizabeth of Bizzy Crochet and Designs. 

This 2-week CAL allows us to create, connect, and showcase your crochet skills while making versatile summer crochet beach cover-ups.

Imagine stepping out onto the sand on the beach in a chic crochet cover-up that you made yourself with everyone turning their heads and asking where you bought it from. That is beyond exciting!

With two fabulous construction options – a robe type for a breezy, elegant feel, and a pullover design for added coverage and comfort – you can tailor this piece to fit your style and needs. This CAL is designed for crocheters of all levels, offering clear guidance and a supportive community to ensure your success.

Over two weeks, we’ll walk you through each stage of the pattern, offering tips, answering questions, and celebrating your progress. Share your progress, ask questions, and connect with fellow crocheters who are just as passionate as you. It’s the perfect way to stay motivated and enjoy the process of creating something special for yourself or a loved one.

The Story Behind These Two Beach-Style Cover-Ups

The Story Behind These Two Beach Cover-Ups

I met Elizabeth through a Facebook group we both belong to, led by our crochet coach, Pam Grice of Crochetpreneur.

Elizabeth had posted in the group and included her location, which happened to be Pensacola. When I saw it, I initially thought she was just visiting. I responded to her message, curious if there was a crochet event happening in Pensacola that I wasn’t aware of. To my surprise, she messaged back and said she actually lived here.

I was beyond excited, and we promised to meet up. A few weeks went by before Elizabeth reached out to schedule a meeting. We finally made plans to meet and get to know each other. During our first meeting, we agreed to collaborate on a project, though we did not decide what it would be.

At our second meeting, we agreed to create a beach cover-up since we live on the beach and planned to release the project in the summer, making it the perfect seasonal item. We also decided to offer two different styles to give everyone an option to choose their favorite look. We used the same yarn, same stitch, and main color to maintain a cohesive connection between our projects. The only thing different as far as the material is concerned is our accent colors.

I am so happy we did this and came up with these two different beach cover-up designs. They are perfect for beachgoers who want to bask in the sun, take an evening stroll along the shore, or relax by the poolside.

This is my first CAL, and I am beyond excited to share it with the amazing Elizabeth “Biz” Fisher-Mareno, a fellow Pensacolian.

Yarn

We decided to use Lion Brand Truboo for our crochet beach cover-ups. Neither of us had used this yarn before, but we were drawn to its wide selection of colors, allowing us to choose any color we wanted. Since this was a summer project, we also wanted a lighter-weight yarn. We preferred a cotton or bamboo blend and ultimately chose bamboo.

In hindsight, this choice had its challenges. The yarn tended to split with almost every stitch, which made the process more difficult. While the final product is soft and gentle on the skin, the splitting was a bit frustrating.

If you’ve used this yarn and love it or have extra time, you can certainly use it, but be prepared for a longer process compared to using standard yarn. If you’d rather avoid these issues, any DK or weight 3 cotton/bamboo blend yarn will work. For example, I used Lion Brand 24/7 DK yarn for the Summer Crochet Beach Sun Hat that matches this beach cover-up and loved it – no splitting at all. Check out the free sun hat pattern on my blog

Free Crochet Long V-Stitch Cardigan Pattern

When it comes to fashion, there is nothing as versatile and timeless as a cozy crochet cardigan. If you are a crochet enthusiast and love to cozy up, I have a pattern just for you. Introducing my first V-stitch cardigan. This stunning cardigan combines the elegance of a long cardigan with a V-stitch making it a must-have garment in your wardrobe.

The V-stitch is a classic crochet stitch that creates a delicate, airy fabric perfect for garments. The stitch is simple and works up quickly, creating a lovely texture to any project. The cardigan is lightweight and comfortable, ideal for both transitional weather and cozy nights.

Long cardigans are great because of their practicality. The longer length provides extra length and coverage, which is perfect for layering. Whether you are going to the office, going for a casual outing, or relaxing at home, this cardigan has you covered. Pair it with jeans and a simple tee for a relaxed look or dress up with a dress and boots for a more sophisticated look.

Get the free pattern below or purchase the ad-free PDF version of this pattern on Etsy and Ravelry. The PDF is designed for printing and this way you can support me! And don’t forget to PIN IT on your Pinterest board.

I released this cardigan a few months ago and shared it as a guest designer on Helen Wilkinson’s website. Although I have been a guest designer before, this was my first-time guest hosting at Sunflower Cottage Crochet. I appreciate the opportunity she gave me to share my creativity with her audience. I am finally sharing

Assembly

• Measure for sleeve armhole on each side of the back panel and one side of each of the front panels making sure the RS will be on the outside after the parts are sewn together. Use finished measurements for the armhole for each size starting from the shoulder.

• With WS facing, sew the sides of the front panels to the sides of the back panel ending where the armhole measurements start.

• Sew the shoulders together, leaving about 5-6” in between on the back panel for the neck. You will need to measure and divide evenly so that the shoulders are equal in measurements and the front panels fit in the space between the shoulders and the neck. (You can measure the back panel, divide it in half and place a marker at the center, then measure 2.5”-3” on either side of the marker and place markers where to sew to or from.

• Sew the sleeves to the armhole and then the sleeves together.

Crochet Sleeveless Cardigan

Inspiration

Spring is in the air and so is spring fashion.

I have been promising myself for a while now that I will make myself a sleeveless crochet cardigan. With spring here and summer around the corner, I decided that it was time to add my long-awaited crochet sleeveless cardigan to my wardrobe.

I wanted a simple and easy crochet cardigan that I can layer with either a sleeveless or sleeved garment. I also want spring colors and this green color was perfect with all the greenery around.

Well, this top was really a fulfillment of the promise I made to myself. I have always used store-bought cardigans but for a while, whenever I see a sleeveless cardigan in the store, I will pick it up and then return it to the rack promising to make mine. When I saw the spring approach, I knew I had to make it and use it during this spring and summer.

Get the free pattern below or purchase the ad-free PDF version of this pattern on Etsy and Ravelry. The PDF is designed for printing and this way you can support me! And don’t forget to PIN IT on your Pinterest board.

l am happy my green sleeveless cardigan is done and it’s time to enjoy spring. The pattern worked out faster than I expected and I finished faster than I expected. The pattern is easy and quick to make. Basic stitches are used in the pattern although you will need to know how to make a 4 double crochet cluster.

The pattern comes in 9 different sizes ranging from XS-5X. It is made to fit. If you want positive ease, you can make a size larger than your size or make your size using a hook one size larger than what I used. If you prefer a longer length, add more rows to your preferred length before neck shaping.

This sleeveless cardigan is constructed in three different pieces, back and 2 front pieces. The pieces are then sewn together and then the sleeve ribbing is crocheted on. The front ribbings are crocheted on separately one side at a time and then the neck. ribbing

This cardigan is lightweight making it perfect for spring and summer and possibly fall weather.

Yarn

I used Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton Yarn 100% Cotton 1in Bright Green. This is my first time using this yarn. From the experience of using the yarn, I would say I loved it and would use it again. The yarn is very soft and easy to work with.

The project went faster than I expected. I am looking forward to wearing the cardigan and seeing how it will hold up before I say for sure that I will use yarn again.

You can use your favorite worsted weight 100% cotton yarn.
