FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:

Wrap measures approximately 17"/43 cm wide x 60"/152.5 cm long

MATERIALS:

• Caron International One Pound (100% acrylic; 16 oz/454 g, 812 yds/742 m skein): 1 skein Shown in: #580 Soft Sage
• One size US N-15 (10 mm) crochet hook, or size to obtain gauge.
• Yarn needle

GAUGE

In pattern stitch, 1 pattern repeat = 2 1/2"/6.5 cm and 6 rows = 4"/10 cm.

Gauge is not critical for this project.

STITCHES USED

Chain (ch), double crochet (dc), single crochet (sc), slip stitch (slip st)

SPECIAL TERM

Fsc: Foundation single crochet (This technique creates a foundation chain and a row of single crochet stitches in one) –
Step 1: Place a slip knot on hook, ch 2, insert hook in second ch from hook and draw up a loop; yarn over and draw through one loop on hook (the "chain"); yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook (the "single crochet").

Step 2: The following stitch is worked under the forward 2 loops of the stem of the previous stitch (into the "chain"). Insert hook into the face of the "chain" and under the nub at the back of the "chain", draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through one loop on hook (the "chain"), yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook (the "single crochet"). Repeat for the length of foundation.

HELPFUL

If a wider wrap is desired, add 7 chains or Fsc for each additional repeat desired. For a narrower wrap, subtract 7 chains or Fsc for each repeat to be reduced.

WRAP

Note: The wrap can begin with a familiar foundation chain (ch 46) or with a row of foundation single crochet (Fsc).

Beginning with foundation chain: Ch 49, (dc, ch 1, dc) in 4th ch from hook, then continue with Row 1.

Beginning with row of foundation single crochet: Fsc 46, ch 3, (dc, ch 1, dc) in first Fsc, then continue with Row 1.

Row 1 (RS): Sk next 2 chs or sts, sc in next ch or st, *ch 3, sk next 3 chs or sts, (dc, ch 1, dc) in next ch or st (V-st made), sk next 2 chs or sts, sc in next ch or st; repeat from * across, turn—7 sc, 7 V-sts, and 7 ch-3 sps.

Rows 2–90: Ch 3, (dc, ch 1, dc) in first sc, *sc in next ch-3 sp, ch 3, (dc, ch 1, dc) in next sc; repeat from * across, sc in top of turning ch, turn.

Row 91: Ch 1, work 1 sc in each sc, dc, and ch across, do not turn—46 sc.

Border
