About this Multi-Seasonal Wrap

What makes this pattern unique, besides the trellising cabled diamonds, is that it is oversized and can be styled in so many different ways. Although I designed this free crochet wrap pattern using Wool-Ease, a worsted weight yarn from Lion Brand, don’t think that this is a cool weather only pattern!

Wool-Ease, with the right stitches and some blocking or steaming, creates a beautiful drape that makes this thick crochet wrap deceivingly lightweight!

Wear this rectangle wrap delicately over your sun kissed shoulders after a day spent on the beach to stay cozy on a summer night!

I must tell you how quick of a crochet project this is, that it would be a perfect gift! Once you get the hang of the cabled it works up surprisingly fast!

As an added bonus, you can keep this blanket wrap out all year long and transition its styling to match any season!

I have created a video tutorial, so if you are a determined advanced beginner or visual learner have no fear!

Color Choices for Any Season

This blanket wrap was made using Wool-Ease, an 80% acrylic, 20% wool blend that combines the warmth of wool with the easy-care benefits of acrylic making it a yarn that is perfect for any season.

This worsted weight yarn comes in 30 gorgeous colors so you will surly be able to find a color that matches your style and fits the season you are creating for.

Color Edit Dark Rose Heather — Arrowwood

Created for a Collection

This crochet blanket wrap pattern was created in collaboration with Lion Brand to bring you a collection of heirloom quality crochet pieces.

Crochet is meant to help you slow down, create with intention and help you to disconnect to reconnect. Yarn crafts have been experiencing some sort of a revival, especially among a younger generation searching for a tangible hobby.

I designed these 4 pieces to take my grandma hobby to the next level creating yet more advanced crochet patterns that allow my brain to stretch. I hope you enjoy all of them as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Materials

Size 6.00 mm crochet hook
6 Skeins of Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Umber [620-026A]
Worsted Wt. No. 4 Yarn – 1180 yards or 17.3 ounces
2 Stitch Markers

Yarn Substitutes

Lion Brand has a huge Worsted Weight Yarn Selection and here are a few that I would recommend as yarn subs if you do not want to use Wool-Ease.

Vanna’s Choice
Color Theory
Pima Cotton

Looking to do some stash busting? A great thing you can do is mix yarn weights and hold them double! To use DK weight use two strands of yarn and you’ve made a worsted!

Gauge

15 sts by 15 rows is 4” by 4” in sc, make bigger so you aren’t measuring your first or last row and row ends.
Whether you are working with the recommended yarn, a yarn of similar fiber content or something different, gauge for this pattern along side your preferred blocking method is EXTREMELY important.
Lion Brand’s Wool-Ease does/can block out significantly while other fibers might not.
My PREBLOCKED Blanket Wrap is 14 by 64”
My BLOCKED Blanket Wrap is 14 by 68” once dry.
I used steam blocking.
Please note that the WORN Gauge will be a bit larger due to the weight of the final fabric.
The cables will lay much nicer once blocked.
If using a different fiber, say 100% wool or 100% cotton for example, you may need to change your hook and/or blocking method to reach the same Blocked/Finished Gauge.
Remember to always check your yarn label for care instructions.
If you would like your blanket wrap even larger consider wet blacking and pinning to really open up the stitches.
Always treat your swatch the way you will treat your final project, some surprises are great, but not this one is not!

How to Check and Adjust Gauge

Once you have made your gauge swatch, remember bigger than the given gauge to get an accurate measurement, measure your stitches and rows. This is your pre-blocked gauge.
Then block your swatch in the same manner that you will block your finished blanket wrap and allow it to dry.
Once dry, measure your swatch again, this will be your blocked gauge.
.If your swatch is too big go down crochet hook size if it is too small go up a crochet hook size.

Sizing

One Size: 14” by 68” blocked.

How to Adjust Sizing

If you would like your Blanket Wrap longer add more rows.
If you would like your Blanket Wrap shorter subtract rows.
If you would like your Blanket Wrap wider add more stitches before AND after the repeat.

Pattern Notes

* Designates a repeat.
“sc 1” means to single crochet in the next stitch.
“sc 2” means to single crochet in each of the next 2 stitches.
“2 sc” means to single crochet twice in the next stitch to create an increase.
There are NO chain 1’s in the cable section but there ARE chain 1’s in the trim rows/rounds.
Stitch count does not change from Row 1 unless noted.
Watch the Video Tutorial for help with stitch placement and adding the trim ribbing.
All even rows are a simple single crochet repeat row.
All odd rows are a cable repeat row.

An Overview of Intricate Cables

Be mindful of when it is noted to work behind or in front of a FPdc when crossing sts.
When a FPdc is created make sure to skip the single crochet stitches behind.
You will have the same number of stitches in all cable rows as single crochet rows.
To create the Row 3 FPdc sts you will work them in the Fsc Row. Each next cable row will work its FPdc sts in FPdc sts of the previous row.
Rows 15 and 17 are exceptions and have FPdc sts worked in single crochet stitches so be mindful of your stitch placement in the rows and when to work in a single crochet. Use the stitch diagram for clarity.
Reference the stitch diagram for the repeats and proper stitch placement, note that FPdc sts are worked in FPdc sts but for clarity the diagram does NOT show the overlap.
NOTE: The Stitch Diagram shows 2 sets of repeats.
The Stitch Diagram for Row Repeats has the order of the placement of the FPdc sts alphabetized if you prefer a visual. Be mindful of if you are working in FRONT or BEHIND of a FPdc.
FPdc sts are always worked in FPdc sts with the exception of Row 3 where the FPdc sts are worked in the Foundation Single Crochet Stitches of Row 1 and Rows 15 and 17.
If you find that your FPdc stitches are too tight feel free to try using a Front Post Treble Crochet instead.
If this is your first crochet cable project I would suggest using stitch markers at the beginner and end of the row to avoid any skipped stitches.

How to Create Knit-Like Crochet Ribbing

I love this ribbed edging, just be sure to be mindful of you tension to avoid pinching and waving.

Chain 6, turn so that the right side of the blanket wrap is facing you, sl st in the second chain from the hook and each next chain back to the blanket wrap. [5 total sl sts]
Sl st in the next st of blanket wrap, turn, skip first sl st, sl st blo next 5 sts.
Turn, ch 1, sl st blo in next 5 sl sts.
Sl st in the next st of blanket wrap, turn, skip first sl st, sl st blo next 5 sts.
Repeat Steps 3 and 4, skipping every 8th stitch on the blanket wrap to keep your trim from getting wavy to the last stitch. You should be at the edge of the trim, not the blanket side.
Now repeat Steps 1 to 5 except you will be working in the Row Ends not stitches.
Now repeat Steps 1 to 5 except you will be working in the Foundation Single Crochet Stitches.
Now repeat Steps 1 to 5 except you will be working in the Row Ends not stitches.
