Finished Size (Approx.):
- Length: 173 cm (68 inches)
- Depth: 60 cm (24 inches)
Gauge:
- Not specified. Adjust hook size to achieve desired drape.
Pattern Notes:
- UK terminology used with US terminology in parenthesis.
- Starting chains do count as stitches unless stated otherwise.
- This pattern is worked in multiples of 4 + 1 for the starting chain.
Instructions:
Foundation Chain:
- Make a slip knot and chain in multiples of 4 + 1. For the wrap specified in the video, start with 197 chains (which is 196 for the multiples of four + 1 additional chain).
Row 1:
- Starting from the second chain from the hook, make a UK double crochet (US single crochet) into each chain across.
- At the end of the row, chain 3 and turn.
Row 2:
- Skip the very first stitch directly below the chain 3. Counting from the next stitch, skip 3 stitches.
- In the 4th stitch, create a cluster: (Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through two loops) three times all in the same stitch, then chain 2 and do one more treble crochet (UK) / double crochet (US) into the same stitch to complete the cluster.
Continue across the row by skipping 3 stitches, and in the 4th, make another cluster until the end of the row. Complete the final cluster and then make one UK treble crochet (US double crochet) in the last stitch. Chain 2 and turn.
For Row 3 and Beyond:
- Work a cluster into the first chain space from the previous row, followed by chain 2, and another treble/double crochet to complete the cluster.
- Skip directly to the next chain space, work another cluster, and repeat this pattern across the row.
- At the end of each row, make a UK treble crochet (US double crochet) into the top of the turning chain from the previous row.
- Turn your work, chain 2, and continue in the pattern. The pattern will be a one-row repeat from this point forward. Continue until the piece reaches your desired size.
Finishing:
- Once you reach the desired dimensions, fasten off and weave in all ends for a neat finish.
Additional Notes:
- No border is added in this pattern as the creator felt it wasn't necessary due to the variegated yarn and the natural edge created.
