Crochet Beach Coverup from Idea to Finished Piece

In this video, I’m sharing the full process of crocheting a lacy beach or poolside coverup — from the very first sketch to the finished piece. This project definitely had its ups and downs… I made mistakes, had moments of doubt, and honestly wasn’t sure I’d finish it. But I kept going — and I’m so happy with how it turned out! If you're curious about what goes into designing and finishing a crochet garment, I invite you to follow along. I talk through my ideas, yarn choices, stitch decisions, and the real-life process behind this summer-ready project. ✨ Main stitch used in this project (lacy shawl tutorial): https://youtu.be/MnGVaVJVOoc Written pattern: https://olgapoltava.etsy.com/listing/4310155704 🧶 The yarn I used is Herrschners Self-Striping Cotton Cake Mill Ends (now discontinued).
