I wanted the yarn to be the star of this show, so I kept the construction simple. The tunic is made with two rectangles joined at the shoulders and sides with a couple of strategically placed vents and openings at the sides and shoulders for a bit of design flair. I didn’t make the V neckline too deep for the tunic, but if you want to make this as a beach cover up (which I highly recommend), you could go as low as you like! The stitch pattern is an interesting, but easy shell combined with basic filet and double crochet.

I used a fine #1 weight yarn with two strands held together, because I wanted a bit more weight and drape on the finished garment.
