Designed by Heather Lodinsky for Red Heart Yarn, this easy-to-fit pattern is written for girls sized 2 to 8 years.
The cover -up is easy to make as it is worked in one piece from side to side, then folded at the shoulders and sewn along the sides. Add the drawstring cords complete with tassels and TADA you have this stylish rainbow colored cover-up perfect for the warm summer fun!
The pattern recommends using Red Heart It’s a Wrap Rainbow yarn. This yarn is a super soft and drapey acrylic and cotton blend which is available in 8 different colors. The cover-up pictured was made using “Fiesta”. This is the same yarn featured in our Fiesta Poncho (also for Mom).
