Think lacy stitches, lightweight yarns, and projects that are as breathable as they are beautiful. If you want to make a quick sarong or a show-stopping cover-up, summer crochet is here to shine.

What Is The Best Yarn to Use for a Crochet Beach Cover-Up?
When it comes to choosing the perfect yarn for your crochet beach cover-up, think lightweight and quick-drying!
Cotton blends are my absolute go-to; they're breathable, hold up well against saltwater, and won't weigh you down when wet.
I've had amazing results with mercerized cotton (it has that gorgeous sheen!) and cotton-bamboo blends that feel silky against sun-kissed skin.
For something with a bit more drape, try a cotton-bamboo mix that gets softer with each wash.
Just steer clear of wool or acrylic for beachwear; they take forever to dry and can get uncomfortably hot.
Remember, the yarn you choose should be as ready for summer adventures as you are!
