Gimme Some Ocean Crochet Swim Suit Cover Pattern

This Gimme Some Ocean Crochet Swim Suit Cover Pattern is the perfect summer project! It’s as easy as making two rectangles and sewing them together. I used a pretty lacy mesh stitch for the open and airy design.

Cotton is a great summer yarn, especially for the beach. Not only is it lighter than other fibers, but it’s works well with water. I chose black and white for the stripes in my swim suit cover because that’s what matches my swim suit, but any color combo would work. I think bright colors would be fun. You can leave out the stripes, or add more! There really are so many possibilities!
