This wrap is scrumptious! The delicious blend of chocolate and cherry colored yarns along with the squishy, soft texture created by the up and down stitch combine to create a magical wrap that is simply divine to wear. It truly is one of my all-time favorite pieces. Add to that the fact that it is so easy and relaxing to crochet, and you have an awesome project for those long winter nights. The finished wrap is 24”x76” so it’s big enough to drape around you in a stylish way or simply wrap up in for warmth like those big blanket scarves that are so in fashion now. But this wrap is a classic. No matter what the fashion is you will be enjoying this one for years to come!

Materials:
Lion Brand Heartland in Acadia – 1 skeins
Lion Brand Heartland in Badlands – 2 skeins
Lion Brand Heartland in Sequoia – 3 skeins
Hook size K/10.5 – 6.5mm for main body of wrap
Hook size L/11 – 8.00 mm for foundation row (optional)
Abbreviations:
Ch – chain
Sc – single crochet
Dc – double crochet
St, sts – stitch, stitches
Gauge:
9 stitches and 9 rows = 4”
Notes:
1. Beginning chains do not count as stitches. Always make your first stitch in the very first stitch in the row.
2. The wrap is 24” from top to bottom, and 76” from end to end.
3. I recommend using the larger hook for the foundation row so it doesn’t turn out too tight, but it’s optional.
4. This simple stitch is called an “up and down” stitch, or a “high-low” stitch. You simply alternate between a sc and dc across your row.
Instructions:
With Acadia, ch 160 plus one (with the larger L hook if you choose to.)
Row 1: With hook size K, sc in 2nd ch from hook, *dc in next ch, sc in next ch,* repeat from * to * across. Dc in last ch.
Row 2: Turn, ch 1, *sc in next st (which is the dc from the previous row), dc in next st (which is the sc from the previous row)*, repeat from * to * across. Dc in last st.
Row 3: Turn, ch 1, *sc in next st, dc in next st*, repeat from * to * across. Dc in last st.
Row 4: With Sequoia, repeat pattern from row 3 for all remaining rows following color changes where indicated.

Thank you! I’m so glad you like it! I can never accurately say how long a project takes me because I stop and start so much, but I’m guessing about 4-6 hours? It wasn’t too long – I know that. And it’s a fun pattern. It feels so good in your hands as you’re working it. 😊

December 16, 2018 10:41 pmlove this! Did you use Heartland or Heartland thick and quick for this project? Looking at the website there are two types. Thank you.

I used the regular Heartland for this wrap.
Thanks for your interest!

April 8, 2021 2:27 amHi Tia,
I followed instructions to the letter, yarn, hooks. It came out so much smaller. 19″×62″. Very disappointing. Any ideas why? With chain of 160 +1 on k hook?
I don’t crochet THAT tightly!
Thanks
Tia
April 19, 2021 12:34 pmHi Jami,
I’m so sorry it didn’t come out the right size. I can’t imagine why, and I know I’d be disappointed, too. The only thing I can think of is that I took my measurements after I had worn it a while, and with the yarn being heavy and stretchy, the shawl stretched out larger. Again, sorry for the issue.
Sincerely,
Tia

December 29, 2018 9:44 pmHi, I’ve got exactly the same yarn and hooks sizes, but my foundation and tension swatch are both coming up really short. Even using an 8mm hook doesn’t get my swatch to 4 inches. Can you help please?
thanks
Tia
December 29, 2018 10:00 pmHi Amanda,
I crochet pretty loosely so that could be the issue. I don’t know how long you’ve been crocheting, but beginners tend to crochet more tightly. If you can’t manage to loosen your tension, and you’re satisfied with the way your stitches look, you could just create a longer starting chain so your wrap ends up the same size. Hope this helps!😊
