Crochet is the fabric MAKEMECHIC uses most after plain knit, and it does one thing better than any other: it lets air through. That is why the cover-ups, the beach sets and half the summer halters on this page are crochet, and why none of them is lined. A crochet piece goes over a swimsuit, a slip or a cami, and the card says crochet so that nobody buys a cover-up expecting a dress.

What crochet asks in return is care. It snags on a ring, it relaxes with wear and comes back with a wash, and it wants a cold hand wash or a wash bag and a flat dry, which the label sewn into the piece will say. The sparkly crochet sweater vest is the piece that crosses into the knits rail, and the plus-size crochet tops, cut to 3XL Plus, are the deepest plus run in the range.

Every colourway here is priced on its own; the MAKEMECHIC wardrobe keeps the figures current and the till is what decides.

Questions about MAKEMECHIC Crochet

The open knit

Is your MAKEMECHIC crochet piece lined?

No. Crochet is an open knit and the holes are the point; a lined crochet would be a different garment. Wear it over a swimsuit, a slip or a cami, and the card names the fabric so that you plan for it.

How do you wash your MAKEMECHIC crochet top?

By the label, which will say cold, by hand or in a bag, and flat to dry. Hanging a wet crochet piece is how it grows a size; laying it flat is how it keeps the one it came in.

Can you get MAKEMECHIC crochet in plus sizes?

Yes, and the deepest plus run in the range is here: the crochet cover-up tops are cut to 3XL Plus, and several of the beach sets and skirts carry a plus run. The card prints the run each piece is cut in.
