Loving Hearts Wrap Pattern
Supplies
Hook: 4.50 mm (7)
Yarn: Patons Glam Stripes (Light – 3) (2 balls)
Gauge: “5 ch, work a picot of [1 sc ,3 ch, 1 sc] into the 3rd ch of the next 5 ch arch” stitch set = 1″ and 2 rows = 1″
Finished Length: 65″ (unblocked)
Finished Width: 16″ (unblocked)
Abbreviations Used: ch – chain, sc – single crochet, st – stitch, sts – stitches, * to * – repeat the instructions between the * (stars) as indicated, dc – double crochet
Picot: (1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) into the indicated stitch
Note: when I use the word “underlying” I mean the stitches in the row below the one you are currently crocheting
R1: Ch 61 sts – 1 sc in the 2nd ch from your hook, *ch 5, skip the underlying 4 ch sts and 1 sc in the next ch st* repeat from * to * across, turn
R2: *ch 5, work a picot (1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) into the 3rd ch of the underlying ch-5 arch*, repeat from * to * across; ch 2 and 1 dc into the last sc of the row (skip the turning ch), turn
R3: ch 1, 1 sc into the first st of the row, *ch 5, skip the picot stitch, picot (1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) into the 3rd ch of the underlying ch-5 arch*, repeat from * to * across; ch 5, skip the last picot st and 1 sc into the 2nd ch of the turning ch arch (Note: you ch 5 at the beginning of R2 – the first 3 ch sts count as a ‘double crochet’ you work into the next ch – leaving the last ch to be part of the arch – so you work the last sc into the 2nd ch of the turning ch arch), turn
Repeat R2 and R3 for the desired length. I crocheted until I used the full 2 balls of Yarn (approximately 65″ in length).
Do you want to make this piece wider?
The stitch pattern multiple used is: 5 sts + 1

Hi Mo, You are very welcome 🙂 You finish off after the end of Row 3 when your wrap is the length you would like it to be. I didn’t add any finishing edge to mine. It is actually a rectangle – it should not be growing in size as you repeat the pattern rows. It might seem like it is growing if you are becoming more relaxed when you are crocheting and the spaces between the stitches are becoming slightly larger. The gauge might be increasing – you could check this by measuring your stitches per inch at the beginning when the pattern was ‘new’ to you vs at the point you are noticing it is growing to be sure. You may need to tighten up your stitches to maintain the gauge to keep the rectangular shape. The wrap shown in the photos wasn’t blocked it ended up as a rectangle. Hope this helps, Rhondda
Mo says
Hi Rhondda thanks for lovely pattern just wondering mine is looking like it is getting wider as it grows, I have same number of stitches etc do you think this will block out?
Anyone else have this problem?
Also do you just fasten off at end of row 3 or is there a row to finish with?
Thanks
Rhondda says
Hi Kate 🙂
If you have finished Row 1 you will have chains of 5 stitches with single crochet stitches between. When you end Row 1 you turn, ch 5, then the picot you will work is into the 3rd ch in the first set of 5 chain stitches. Then you chain 5 again and work your next picot stitch into the 3rd ch of the next set of 5 chain stitches. You repeat this all the way across your project.
Hope this helps,
Rhondda

I do apologize Minna and Nasrin, I do not have video tutorials for this design yet. I hope to start doing more videos in the Fall once my son goes to school full-time. Right now it is very difficult to find a second of quiet time to video 🙂 3.5 year olds can be very noisy! I’m happy you love the pattern 🙂 Rhondda

Love the wrap, very chic!
But I’ll use the stitch to make a set of cases for our hanbags (tissues, glasses, make-up, mobile phone…) I can see them with a bright contrasting linen 😉

Hi Madeline, Thank you 🙂 I used 2 balls of Patons Glam Stripes – each ball has 261 yards (239 m) – so you need 2 to make one the same size as the one I made.
Thanks!
Rhondda
