It’s A Wrap….

It’s A Wrap…

Here’s two wraps I’ve completed in the past month. One for my mom; the other for my mom-in-law. They both enjoy the outside but the cool evenings makes each of them easily susceptible to cold bones and getting sick. So, I made each of them a wrap.

For both wraps, I used Crafter’s Secret yarn from Hobby Lobby and an 8mm hook

For the first one, I used a simple HDC stitch and started with a chain of 101. I worked rows until I got my desired width of 15”. I then used Burgundy yarn across the top and the bottom rows. I started with a SC, then DC one row down, then DC two rows down and repeated this across for both rows. I joined back my main color and SC around, with 2 SC in each corner. Finish off. Weave ends.

Once completed, I decided to use the Burgundy yarn to add fringe to each end.

For the second wrap, I used three colors. For this one, I used the Herringbone HDC stitch. It is worked basically the same way as the first one, except that I started with a 15” length and worked it that way.

For the border, I worked *5 HDC in a stitch, skip 2 stitches, SC in next stitch, skip 2 stitches* and repeat from * to * around. Finish off and weave ends.
