It’s so hard to communicate the feel of this unique yarn with words and photos – it really is something you have to feel to believe! It’s a tape style yarn, which means that the orientation of the strand is flat and skinny, like a piece of tape.

(I also made my June Sun Hat out of this yarn and it’s so dreamy, find that free pattern here.) It’s a blend of polyester and viscose fibers which is most unusual – and totally perfect for my Weekender Tunic. I chose to use Lion Brand’s new Rewind yarn. However you like it, you’re going to look cute in your Weekender! PATTERNS I LOVE (& you should too)ġ. I wanted a long, oversized fit so I went with my true size. I am wearing the Weekender Tunic in the size Medium, but I could have easily fit into a small. The Weekender Tunic is just that – and it can be crocheted in a weekend! (Thus the name for this vacationer’s top) It consists of just simple double crochets and skipped stitches – it really is that easy! I’ve also taken care to size this pattern from XS-3XL womens, though I will tell ya this – if you’re in between sizes, size DOWN. So I needed something light to toss on over that swimsuit that would hold up well to wear, cover the necessary bits, and let the ocean air waft through it in the breeziest way – all while being stylish and cute!

I’m lucky enough to live near some beautiful beaches and I love taking my two year old Parker to play on the sand, but I don’t always want to hike to and from the parking area in just my swimmer. Wear this baby over a tank and jeans for a casual handmade look, or wear it my favorite way – as a light layer of coverage over your swimsuit! It’s super breathable and roomy, while being plenty long enough to cover your bum when getting to and from the beach house. The perfect swim coverup for warm weather, the Weekender Tunic!
