GAUGE

In pattern stitch, 11 pattern repeats = 8"/20.5cm and 6 1/2 rows = 4"/10cm. Note: One pattern repeat consists of one Bullion st (B-st) and one ch-2 sp.

STITCHES USED

Chain (ch), single crochet (sc), slip stitch (sl st)

SPECIAL STITCHES

B-st: Bullion stitch—[Yarn over] 7 times, insert hook in indicated stitch or space and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through ALL loops on hook (ease through each loop, rather than pulling through all of them at once).

NOTES

1. Wrap is worked from lower edge upwards.

2. One less bullion stitch is worked in each row, forming the slanting side edges.

HELPFUL

If you would like to make a longer wrap, increase the length of the foundation ch in multiples of 3 ch (e.g. 280, 283, 286, 289,...).
