This quick-to-crochet swim cover-up features a simple construction and basic stitch variations. The wavy fan stitch pattern is flexible in both directions and transitions to a lacier variation at the hem.

The waistband and ties are crocheted first. The yarn is then re-joined to work the skirt’s lace panel.

A base skirt length is given, but you can work the lace panel to any length you’d like (keeping in mind yardage requirements will change).

This pattern uses U.S. crochet terminology.

Skill level: Easy.
