Making this now with a #4 yarn in the xlarge size. I adjusted the gauge to be sure it would fit appropriately. I'm using a combination of the pattern and video. I like that you have both avaiable. As a intermediate/advanced crocheter I still enjoy the tips Mikey gives in video. Looking forward to wearing my cover up this summer.
The first couple rows are usually the hardest and then it is easier. That is what I have always found doing these videos. Then you are doing the rest of the project easily. Just watch it once and then do it. That is what I always do now and I can follow him very easily and I think he is a pretty good teacher
This is a great looking coverup and one I think I can do fairly quickly for someone who is fairly slow!!🐢Ive been looking just the right one for sometime. Might be Christmas Gifts for 2 DILs, amongst their other goodies!
This is it!!!!! I have been looking for a beach cover up for ages. I thought I'd found one but something kept me from buy the yarn now I know why..... I was waiting to find this one!!!! I can't wait to get started. Want to wear it on Christmas day.
Mikey Thank you Thank you! My niece wants crochet shoes for work, flip flop sole. I tried this Bernet Maker Fashion Epic fail ! She would have her own canoe 😂 if I had continued. I was heart broken, here I had this great new yarn, she does like bags like is on the wrapper. My niece loves going to the beach😎 Christmas gift 🎄 I am heading to the store to buy additional yarn. Thank you Thank you 😀 Greetings from Canada 🍁
Do they have this new kind of yarn in different yarn sizes/weight? (Worsted, DK, Fingering, Sock etc) because i think thinner versions of this new tube style yarn would look really cool & give the end product a neater & cooler look. If they don't have it in thinner yarn weight, then can you suggested to them?. As usual, Fantastic tutorial & thank-you for doing what you do Mikey!, because you do it so well!!.😁
Has anyone done this child size? I have a friend that would like one for each of her daughter's ages 6 and 8. They saw my daughters and fell in love. Makes me sooo happy!
I had to adapt my size because I used a different yarn, the pattern only requires you to have an even-numbered starting chain! That way the treble rows start and end the same. For a child size, you have a couple of choices- you can either use the same yarn and have fewer trebles per row and larger spaces proportionally, or you could find a different, thinner yarn so that the pattern comes out looking the same, just sized down. The bernat yarn is a 72% cotton, 28% nylon blend, so you should be able to find something thinner within that range. I made mine out of a 100% cotton yarn that was pretty easy to work with and is plenty comfy and usable right out of the water (probably wouldn't be great for swimming in either way), but I had to double it up to keep it sized closer to the pattern. If you find a yarn you think would be a good fit, I would go with the second option! then all you have to do is chain an even-numbered length that would be a good width for the girls, and go from there as you did with your daughter's pattern. Hope this helps!
when I'm crocheting my treble rows my stitch grows 1/4 inch next row 1/2 inch and so on. So my gauge is off with my treble stitches. Any suggestion or advice.
Hi Mikey, I like this pattern however I don’t seem to have any luck finding the yarn. Do you have any recommendations or a different brand and weight and number of balls to purchase for a medium size. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated and I am looking forward to watching and following the video for the Beach Keen Cover Up. Robin
Hi! When you get to the second round of repeat pattern...do you single crochet into each stitch or into top of TR and into chain one space? Please advise...thanks! And thanks for all you all do!!
Just be aware that they are super stretchy. I made my dog a form-fitting coat a few months ago and it just keeps on stretching! had to take in some parts a couple of months ago and it still keeps going. It's a great concept as a yarn, but just be aware.
I will have to circle back. If you draw a crochet diagram of the frame work of this, you may be able to figure that out. I would have to draw a diagram to get you that answer. I just cannot do it at this moment. I will have to circle back another time.
I'm a beginner and this is my first garment and I just finished the first set of the pattern rows. I'm a little confused though on RS and WS. After the initial chain, the written pattern says that the 1st row of SC is the RS. Then when you get to the 1st row of the pattern rows, the written pattern says that row 1 of the pattern is the RS. That does not make sense to me since if you go by the 1st mention of the RS, then the 1st row of the pattern rows would be the WS. Can you please help me with this? Thank you so much and your video is excellent and has been a great help!!
I think the written pattern is wrong. It does 3 rows of single crochet before the pattern rows start. You have only done 2. I'll just have to keep in mind that when I get to the end, since I've followed the written pattern, I'll just do an extra row of single crochets at the top so that I will end on the correct side. I believe that will be right but we shall see. Either way, I can make it work.
I think you are right. I noticed the RS is in [ ]. I'm trying to figure out why and I am stumped. This is old pattern but I really don't have an answer. **Chain (ch) 54 (64-80). 1st row: [Right Side (RS)]. 1 single crochet (sc) in 2nd ch from hook. 1 sc in each ch to end of chain. Turn. 53 (63-79) (sts). 2nd and 3rd rows: Ch 1. 1 sc in each sc to end of row. Turn. Proceed in pattern (pat) as follows:
Hi, I was wondering if you could help me? I'm trying to make a knit 70's tank top for my grandaughter, but I don't know how many to cast on.. my grandaughter is very thin please help..
l don't have a L hook never seen one as long as l been crocheting so can l use a hook lower a J or K hook need to now before l start this beachy Keen cover up
Depends on the yarn. I used the Bernat Maker yarn and the L hook. You might be able to use a K hook with it. Just watch your gauge. Might need to go up a size. ~ Jeanne
I'm making the small to medium. I'll chain 54.. so after that , are the sc 53? Or 52? I'm very curious because I keep messing up. My first panel ended up very crooked. I still have to redo that one. I restarted the second panel 3 x's already. I keep coming up with different numbers. From here on out, how many spaces should there be?
In the pattern it states the following: **Chain (ch) 54 (64-80). 1st row: [Right Side (RS)]. 1 single crochet (sc) in 2nd ch from hook. 1 sc in each ch to end of chain. Turn. 53 (63-79) stitches (sts). So if you chained 54 you should have 53 stitches when you completed row 1. In Row 2, you should have 52 spaces between the edges. If your panel is crooked, check to ensure you are going into the correct chain when you do the Ch 4 to start a Row 2.
Mikey I would like to use Mandala yarn, it's 5.3 oz/150g 590 yd/540m Would you be so kind in telling me the adjustments I would need to do, i.e.hook size and chain start, etc. I thank you so much if you can help me.
Hey Robin... that requires research and development to do testing to tell you such a thing. I don't know the answers tot hat without physically doing the sample in the yarn you are suggesting to know for sure.
Hello, I live in Mexico, so sometimes is really hard for me to find the correct yarn since names are different. Can you tell me another yarn names that might be similar so I try to find them in my country? Thanks!
Hi I started this project and I keep running into the same problem where the trebles dont line up. The trebles are not going in between consistently. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong please?
Crochet always leans. One way... then another. It never is straight up and down. Having said that, are you sure you are putting your crochet hook where you should be?
Thank you so much for responding. I’m doing everything exactly as the video but it’s very noticeable that the trebles don’t align and I end up with less stitches, is that correct?
I think that would be a super idea! Jeanne's matching tote bag was made with dc instead of tr. Check it out on the website in the bag section of the free patterns.
you can order this yarn on Michaels website or Craftsy or yarnspiration websites also you can use a thinner T-shirt yarn might work as long as it is not too fat. loops & Thread has a t-shirt yarn that is similar to this yarn if you can get it. I've seen it on Michaels and Spinrite websites. I hope this helps you
I started mine in ex LG my first row of ch5 row if treble s across I have 32 but on my next row of treble on chain 5 row I have 3 help please I can't find my mistake, anyone out there please help I fid the next row of treble on ch row and got 32 treble :(
crochet girl I know this is kinda late but did you ever find out what was going wrong I just started mine in the size Lg I know my count is right but for some reason my trebles won’t come out right
i've been using sugar & cream's cotton yarn for this project. it's pretty cute doubled up! the stretch is a little different from the picture but I just adjusted the lengths as I went along- doubling up the sugar and cream makes it longer and wider than the bernat yarn- for example with the small size i chained 48 instead of 54, but I would just play with the options and get a few rows on before deciding whether it's too long or too short! I added a hood and a cinch tie to mine, I may choose to put a video up if I ever make another one...'twould be my first!
I didn't address that in this tutorial or on my written article. The pattern by Yarnspirations has the sizes from XS - 5 XL recorded so you can use those sizes.
So after first react row of on i did 3rd row cause there are no sc to sc in and the i added a nest row of sc looks better and the trebles are of set with this row of sc
Bad typing lol the first repeat of row one is actually row 3 then i did another row of sc because the trebles didnt offset without it and it actually looks better more substantiail
Multiple is 2 +1
I need written pattern

Love this pattern such a fast and easy project. I'm making one for my daughter using 100% cotton.
About to start this pattern. Are you glad you used 100% cotton?
This is it!!!!! I have been looking for a beach cover up for ages. I thought I'd found one but something kept me from buy the yarn now I know why..... I was waiting to find this one!!!! I can't wait to get started. Want to wear it on Christmas day.
Glad I could help! Enjoy your new outfit and rock it on Christmas day as you say! :D
Made this and i’m so happy with it. Thank you so much for easy to follow and lovely pattern. x
I’m going to make one with Caron Cotton Cakes in the color “Aqua Breeze”. Looks super easy, I just hope I can make it in the right size.

Thank you Thank you!
My niece wants crochet shoes for work, flip flop sole.

Very pretty an easy to follow
Were you able to find the Bernat yarn suggested and if so where? Thansk
I love this swimsuit cover up
I wish i can make one thank you for the tutorial it was easy to follow 😍
Awesome.
Thank I really love it
Hi, can i do it with milk cotton yarns?
Your Explanation is 👌
Thank you so much.
Can you do the top 3 rows longer maybe do 6 rows so its not so high up on tne neck? I would love a V neck but not sure how to accomplish it.
Just do 6 rows for each side of the shoulder. Don't end the section so quickly. It's possible, yes.
After the first rows of sc is it then one stitch less?
Do they have this new kind of yarn in different yarn sizes/weight? (Worsted, DK, Fingering, Sock etc) because i think thinner versions of this new tube style yarn would look really cool & give the end product a neater & cooler look. If they don't have it in thinner yarn weight, then can you suggested to them?. As usual, Fantastic tutorial & thank-you for doing what you do Mikey!, because you do it so well!!.😁
How do we adjust it for a smaller yarn such as an 8ply?
Hi! my yarn it's different and suggested to use hook 5mm. For size medium, how many chains must start?
hello,can you make this tutorial for girl sizes. my daughter is 7. thank you
Has anyone done this child size? I have a friend that would like one for each of her daughter's ages 6 and 8. They saw my daughters and fell in love. Makes me sooo happy!

I did I. It’s how many yards is needed for xs/m?
Has anyone done about a 3 or 4xl? I’m trying to make one for a friend of mine. I’m going with 100 chain plus 1. Hope it’s big enough.
Yes just finished one with 100 chain for my daughter , fits loose enuf she says.
the colors are beautifull.
sad that i can't get them where i live, have to order them
Love this how many skiens for large?
Sure do. See the video description for a link to the free pattern. The details are there for you. :)
Which type of yarn can be used as a substitution for the BERNAT MAKER FASHION OR HOME DECOR? Can’t find either.
Can I use cotton yarn or acrylic yarn?
I have a worsted weight stripe yarn I really want to use. Any ideas how the smaller yarn might affect the outcome?
I just tried on 5 oz yarn and it came out small so I had to start over
Your video shows only 2 rows of sc then start pattern. The pattern says do three rows of sc then start pattern. Which is the correct way?
when I'm crocheting my treble rows my stitch grows 1/4 inch next row 1/2 inch and so on. So my gauge is off with my treble stitches. Any suggestion or advice.
Is there a printable pattern I could download? I keep getting caught up and the link in the description leads me to a beach bag. Please and thank you!
I found this yarn at Michaels today. They do not carry it at Joanne fabrics or hobby lobby
Thank you for letting us know where we can buy the yarn 😁
Now with this beach cover up I can make it shorter ad off my shoulders?

Omg love it!!! However I keep starting your projects and then you release another one that's even better! Lol!! What's a girl to do??
Dragonflygirl Lol I like to do that too. You should dedicate a weekend to finish your projects then start more
Make them all! 😊

I am very cnfused. Do you do the shoulders on the back panel too? If both panels are 29 inches, wont the back be shorter?
I just love this , can I get it wet, I mean if I go into the sea with it on is it going to be soggy and heavy?
I think if you actually wore it while swimming, it would get heavy. I put mine on right out of the pool with no problems. ~ Jeanne

How many yarns did you use to make this coverup?
All of our videos have the free patterns linked in the video description. This way, you can find details like this and more stuff that I don't cover.
l live in Ghana nd it very hard to get dis yarn. Pls i need de maker fashion yarn
How many skeins of yarn do I need?
Making the xs-med in Bernal. How many skeins are needed?
What is the style of this stitch called?
nice thank you Mickey!
Hey! I was wondering how many balls of yarn to buy?
Mikey I would like to use Mandala yarn, it's 5.3 oz/150g
590 yd/540m
Would you be so kind in telling me the adjustments I would need to do, i.e.hook size and chain start, etc.
I thank you so much if you can help me.
Hey Robin... that requires research and development to do testing to tell you such a thing. I don't know the answers tot hat without physically doing the sample in the yarn you are suggesting to know for sure.
Ok thank you
may i know what os the width of each panel ? those 54 stitches are how many centimeters ?
Can we use a T-SHIRT yarn?
I'm pretty sure it's the same thing
beautiful ..
Is this just a repeat pattern all the way? this is too easy!
Good question about getting it wet..any answers yet??
Am about to do this right now.
I tossed mine on right after getting out of the pool. No problem getting wet. I used the suggested Bernat yarn. ~ Jeanne
How do I get that yarn. I live in Northern KY and none of the yarn store carrie that yarn.
I got this at Michael's. Otherwise try Amazon.com
Yes where do I get the pattern
click on see more or the down arrow right under the tutorial
the link in the for this beachy keen takes you to a beach tote bag... not the cover up.
Hello,
I live in Mexico, so sometimes is really hard for me to find the correct yarn since names are different.
Can you tell me another yarn names that might be similar so I try to find them in my country?
Thanks!
Gabriela vizuet I used red heart strata on mine I got it from red heart.com
Gabriela vizuet es trapillo lo puedes conseguir allá con ese nombre
You explain the pattern so well in the beginning but l really cant understand the upper part I began it but it Will leave aside....
Okay thanks for your feedback. The free pattern is available through the video description if you click it. That may be of help so you.
Micky you r the best thank you

Hi I started this project and I keep running into the same problem where the trebles dont line up. The trebles are not going in between consistently. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong please?
Crochet always leans. One way... then another. It never is straight up and down. Having said that, are you sure you are putting your crochet hook where you should be?
Thank you so much for responding. I’m doing everything exactly as the video but it’s very noticeable that the trebles don’t align and I end up with less stitches, is that correct?
I'm thinking of making this top with douple crochet insteadof triple.using it as a top instead of a beach cover up. do you think it would look good?
I think that would be a super idea! Jeanne's matching tote bag was made with dc instead of tr. Check it out on the website in the bag section of the free patterns.
Is it a bad idea to make this with acrylic yarn?
Yes, the salty water will damage the yarn.
from where can i ordr dis yarn????
you can order this yarn on Michaels website or Craftsy or yarnspiration websites also you can use a thinner T-shirt yarn might work as long as it is not too fat. loops & Thread has a t-shirt yarn that is similar to this yarn if you can get it.

How many inches the bottom,how wide?
I think that is on the pattern. I will check in a few hours. I"m just scanning emails and more at the moment. I have a dr appt later on this morning.
so the repeat pattern is actuall 2,3,4?
Let me see if I recorded what that was... I don't recall I did the multiples for this pattern. I might have though.
I didn't address that in this tutorial or on my written article. The pattern by Yarnspirations has the sizes from XS - 5 XL recorded so you can use those sizes.
I just looked at the pattern and drew a quick diagram. It's 2+1 for the multiple.
So after first react row of on i did 3rd row cause there are no sc to sc in and the i added a nest row of sc looks better and the trebles are of set with this row of sc
Bad typing lol the first repeat of row one is actually row 3 then i did another row of sc because the trebles didnt offset without it and it actually looks better more substantiail
