Level of difficulty
Materials:
F/5 - 3.75mm Crochet Hook
7 skeins Sugar Cane Yarn - DK weight
Scissors
Yarn Needle
Blocking Mat and Pins
Notes
● If you desire to make a longer coverup, you will need to make more squares and longer chevron panels.
● The square panels remain the same size for each size, however it is the chevron pieces that are increased per size. For reference, the model in the picture is 5’10” and usually wears a size 4 in women. Keep in mind there is a lot of stretch to crochet.
● This piece should be blocked. It is HIGHLY recommended as it will lengthen the garment quite nicely. Steam blocking with an iron works really well. I recommend blocking once you have completed the coverup.

Now assemble one chevron strip and two lace square strips. Whip stitch the lace square strips to each side of the chevron strip. Do this for both the front and the back. Once completed, you will add the straps before you work on the side pieces.
Straps
Insert hook and yarn in the center outer loop of the Lace Square on the front of your garment. Ch 45. On the back of your garment, you are going to join this foundation ch by placing a sc in the same loop on the adjoining square, then you will place 1 sc in each st back towards the front where you started. Join with a sl st back into the same loop on the square. Repeat on the other side. Slip over your head to make sure the fit is right, and then adjust accordingly.
