Crocheted Wrap - sharing the rough pattern
I finished this yesterday evening:
The stitch pattern is a crocheted version of the Old Shale ripple pattern.
This wrap used about 450 yards of yarn, about 25 yards per row, 17 rows total, plus fringe.
The yarns used are various fibers and weights, with some lace weight mohair used double or as a carry-along with a lighter yarn.
Leaving an 8 inch length (will be part of the fringe), loosely chain 206 stitches. You can chain a few extra and undo them at the end of the first row after checking your stitch count.
Row 1: Double crochet ("DC") in each stitch.
Row 2: DC in first 4 stitches, * DC two stitches together 3 times; chain 1, DC in next stitch 6 times; DC two stitches together 3 times *. Repeat across the row, DC 4 stitches at the end of the row.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until 13 rows are worked. For the final row, omit the chain 1 and work 2 DC in each stitch instead.
Turn the work and work one row into the starting chain, reversing the shaping and using 2 DC in one stitch instead of the chain 1 increase.
Work a row of half double crochet along each edge.
Cut 36 16 inch lengths of yarn (I used a thin yarn doubled), and apply fringe at each knot. You could trim the fringe evenly if you want, but I like the uneven look.
Block lightly if desired.
