Beach Bloom Cover Up

"Looking for a stylish and practical way to cover up at the beach or by the pool? Look no further than this crochet beach cover up! This free crochet pattern is written in UK and US Crochet Terms. I’ve included instructions for sizes XS to 5X. Worked from the bottom up, the neckline shaping is achieved by working each shoulder separately (no decreasing needed). The back panel is worked with no shaping. To cinch the waist in, I’ve included instructions for crocheting a cord to thread through the eyelets of the pattern. "
