Women’s crochet rectangular wrap pattern





This is an easy wrap pattern to make which is worked up along the length so that the stitch design runs lengthwise. It uses about 1150m of 8 ply yarn. Using a 3.5mm hook, this wrap has a finished size of 15 inches wide and 56 inches long.

It is made using a combination of moss stitch, noughts and crosses stitch, and wave stitch, with some small sections of single crochet. These different stitches give it an interesting texture and the solid centre ensures it is warm to wear.



Noughts and crosses stitch:                                            













Wave stitch:














For this scarf, I used Lincraft’s Opus yarn (50g (150m), 25% alpaca 30% wool and 45% acrylic, 8 ply, colour maroon) for the bulk of the wrap and Lincraft’s Double Knitting yarn (100g (250m), 100% acrylic, 8ply, colour maroon) for the wave stitch sections. It could be made using a single yarn, multiple yarns and colours, or a multicoloured self striping yarn. The Opus yarn is very soft and gives the wrap a very nice draping quality. The wrap is also soft enough to fold in half lengthwise and wear as a scarf.



 
The pattern could also be made using a different thickness of yarn and hook. You would simply need to adjust the number of beginning chain (increase or decrease in multiples of 21), and adjust the middle section of the moss stitch, to achieve your desired length and width.

I hope you enjoy wearing your wrap J
