This oversized crochet cover up drapes loose from a wide V neckline, with short, dropped sleeves and an open circle-stitch pattern that runs the full length in even rows. It's cut generously enough that you can slip it over a bikini without pulling anywhere, and the hem sits at hip length rather than cropping short. Throw it on straight from the water and it reads as a proper top, not just something to hide under.
The generous cut is the whole point here - a fitted crochet top would cling in the heat and show every seam underneath, while this one skims over a bikini and moves with you instead. That looseness is also what makes the circle-stitch pattern read clearly rather than stretching out of shape the way a tighter knit would. Worth knowing before you order: the stitch is open throughout, so this is genuinely see-through in normal daylight, built as a layer rather than a top you'd wear with nothing underneath.
It's cut loose and oversized throughout, with a wide V neckline and short dropped sleeves, and coverage is minimal given the open crochet stitch, so it's built to go over a bikini. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.
It's made from polyester, worked into an open circle-stitch crochet. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer. Check the care label on your own garment as well before the first wash.
It's the kind of piece that works just as well thrown over a swimsuit at the pool as it does paired with shorts for the walk to get coffee after. The oversized cut means it never feels like something you have to plan an outfit around.
What size oversized crochet cover up should I order?
It's designed to be worn generously, so your usual size will already sit loose, and there's no need to size up unless you want it even roomier.
Is this crochet top see-through?
Yes, the open circle stitch is see-through throughout, so it's built to go over a bikini rather than to be worn alone.
What is it made from?
It's made from polyester, worked into an open circle-stitch pattern.
