16 oz

Shown in: #9721 Victorian Rose

One size US I-9 (5.5 mm) crochet hook, or size to obtain gauge

Yarn needle

GAUGE

Gauge is not critical for this project; each square motif shown measures approximately 6.5”/16.5 cm 

SPECIAL TECHNIQUES

Beginning Cluster (Beg CL): Yo, insert hook in space indicated, yo and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops, * yo, insert hook in same space, yo and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops; repeat from * once more, yo and draw through 4 loops on hook.

Cluster (CL): Yo, insert hook in space indicated, yo and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops, * yo, insert hook in same space, yo and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops; repeat from * twice more, yo and draw through 5 loops on hook.

STITCHES USED

Chain (ch): Begin by making a slip knot on your hook. * Wrap the yarn around the hook (yarn over) and pull up a loop, [draw the yarn through the loop on the hook to form the first chain]. Repeat from * for number of chains required. Note: The loop on the hook is not included when counting the number of chains.

Double Crochet (dc): Yarn over hook, insert hook into stitch indicated, yarn over and pull up a loop, [yarn over and draw through two loops on hook] twice.

Half Double Crochet (hdc): Yarn over hook, insert hook into stitch indicated, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through all three loops on hook.

Single Crochet (sc): Insert hook in stitch indicated, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through both loops on hook.

Slip Stitch (slip st): Insert hook in the stitch indicated, yarn over and draw through both the stitch and the loop on the hook.

Treble Crochet (tr): Yarn over hook two times, insert hook in stitch indicated, yarn over and pull up a loop, [yarn over and draw through two loops] three times.

NOTES

1. Six different Square Motifs are used for Wrap shown; work as given, or mix and match as desired.
2.  Motifs are joined as-you-go in the instructions given below; if changing the arrangement of the Motifs, work Rounds 1 – 3 (4) – in other words, do not work the last (joining) round of the Square Motifs. Lay Squares on a flat surface, in desired arrangement, then work the last round of the Squares, joining as you go.
3. Alternately – for a take-along project, work all Square Motifs without joining. Lay out in the desired arrangement, and sew together.
4. The size of the wrap is easily adjusted; to make it shorter, use less Squares. If making longer, you may need to purchase additional yarn.
5. Corkscrew fringe is optional, and is included in yarn requirements.
6. Join all rounds with a slip st in st noted.

WRAP

Work 24 Squares (4 each of each Motif), joining Motifs as-you-go.
