Skill Level: Intermediate (requires basic crochet stitches and some shaping experience)
Materials:
- Approximately 700-800 yards of your preferred yarn weight (worsted weight recommended)
- Crochet hook suitable for your chosen yarn weight (e.g., size H/8 for worsted weight)
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
- Stitch markers (optional)
Gauge:
16 stitches x 8 rows in double crochet stitch = 4” x 4” (adjust hook size if needed to achieve gauge)
Finished Size:
One size fits most (approximately 60” wingspan and 30” depth)
Instructions:
Chain 3.
Row 1: Double crochet in the third chain from the hook, chain 2, 2 double crochets in the same chain, turn. (3 dc)
Row 2: Double crochet in each stitch across, chain 2, turn. (6 dc)
Row 3: Double crochet in each stitch across, chain 2, turn. (9 dc)
Row 4: Double crochet in each stitch across, chain 2, turn. (12 dc)
Row 5: Double crochet in each stitch across, chain 3, turn. (15 dc)
Continue increasing by 3 double crochets at the end of each row.
Tip: Place stitch markers at the beginning of each increase section to keep track.
Shape the neckline:
Once you reach your desired neckline depth (approximately 15-20 rows), continue crocheting double crochets across, but omit the last 3 increases in each row.
Shape the armholes:
When your work reaches the desired armhole depth (approximately 10-15 rows), crochet across until you reach the center stitch. Chain 3, skip 2 stitches, continue crocheting double crochets in each stitch across. Work the other side of the armhole identically.
Continue increasing by 1 double crochet at the end of each row until you reach your desired wingspan.
Finish the edge:
Crochet a border of your choice around the entire wrap. Simple options include single crochet, crab stitch, or a decorative edging pattern.
Weave in all ends.
Customization:
- Adjust the yarn weight and hook size to achieve your desired drape and warmth.
- Play with different stitch patterns for the body and border.
- Add pockets or tassels for an extra touch of personality.
- Experiment with different color combinations or yarn textures.
Tips:
- Use stitch markers to keep track of increases and decreases.
- Block your finished wrap for a neat and even appearance.
- Choose a yarn that is soft and comfortable against the skin.
- Have fun and be creative!
