You can make the cover up longer by adding more rnds after rnd 33.
BOTTOM OF COVER-UP:
Make as many blocks as you need to stretch around bottom (rnd 34) of cover-up. In my example I needed 43 blocks to fit around the bottom.
Sew the blocks tog as you did for the cover-ups top and then sew to the bottom (rnd 34) edge.
EDGING:
RND 1: With yarn and F hook join in any st along outer edge of blocks, ch-1, sc same st as beg sch-1, evenly sc around, sl st top beg sc, fasten off.
Rep on both the bottom and top of the cover-up.
STRAPS:
Again this is a measure to fit items. Make and sew tog the number of blocks you need to make a strap. In my example I used 8 blocks for ea strap.
Edge ea strap by joining yarn in any ch-2 sp on strap, ch-1, (sc, ch-2, sc) in ch-2 sp, evenly sc ea st around and working () ea corner, sl st top beg sc, fasten off.
-make 2. Sew to top of cover-up.
The cover-up is an easy to make and fit article of clothing. By its design it gets wider as it is worked to accommodate hips and thighs. It can be made longer or shorter by working more (longer) or less (shorter) rnds at the end (rnd 34).
