I made this summer cover-up whilst on holiday in the beautiful Suisse Normande. The weather was wonderful (for the most part!) but could be cool in the evenings, so I needed something light and airy to throw on when we went out for meals. The design came about as I wanted a bit more pattern to the stitching than repeated row upon row, so I left out a picot here and there, creating a band every so often.

Skill level: beginner
Size: One size fits all
Supplies: 5 x 100g balls of any DK yarn will work. I used Stylecraft Batik Cream 1900.
Hook: 4 mm
Gauge: tension is not critical for this pattern
Stitches used: foundation chain (fc)/chain (ch)/double crochet (dc)
