I'm a beginner and I have to say, I do not find this easy. The explanation of stitches is confusing to me. What's with the brackets in the stitch explanation? I don't understand it and it's not working out right.

Love this simple but elegant One Skein Wrap. It is so versatile, it can match any color of top but will look great on dark sleeveless, short or even long sleeves tops. The width and length is just right but you can make adjustments to suit your preference.

I like the fact that you make this lengthwise. I have made wraps lengthwise before and I think it goes faster - at least for me. It is a beautiful pattern and I am a big fan of Caron yarns. I usually would not choose that color but the photo really brings out the pattern. Thank you.

Does this really only use one skein of yarn? It is gorgeous! Could a beginner figure it out? It looks so soft, I would just want to snuggle up with it. What would you recommend a beginner do to learn crochet? Take a class, or watch videos, or buy a book to teach me? Does it matter that I'm left-handed? I really want to be able to make a wrap like this!

Yes, but it's a ONE POUND skein, which is 16 ounces. If you use smaller skeins, just be sure the total yarn is 16 ounces. Most skeins you see are about 3 1/2 to 4 ounces. The one pound skeins can be real price savers.

I learned to crochet from a magazine article years ago, but Youtube videos will help you, as will taking a class. Crochet is not hard. It just takes some practice to get the tension right, so you can expect to feel awkward for a few weeks until you learn to control the tension on the yarn. Find a Youtube video instructing lefties. That will help. Best wishes!

This is just beautiful. With this wrap only using one skein of yarn, I could get several of these made for women at my church, and use up some of the skeins of yarn I have been storing for some time now. I would love to put them to good use. I think this wrap is just beautiful, thank you for the idea.

I've been crocheting for almost 50 years and I found this pattern to be next to impossible. I tried it 4 times before I finally threw it in the trash. How they could say it's "easy" is beyond me. Shame on them.

I couldn't get this pattern to work. Once I got to the third and fourth rows it looked like a mess and nothing was in line. I started over 4 times to make sure I counted right. I'm an experienced crocheter in more of the intermediate level, but I've done advanced level items that I've had no problems following the patterns on.

I asked for help with this pattern both in an email to AllFree Crochet and on their FB page. Now I can't even find my request for help. Very frustrating when no one wants to help. I have asked how to get in touch with the original designer but no one has answered that question either. Very, very disappointed in both FaveCrafts and AllFree Crochet.

I am an experienced crocheter but am having problems with this pattern. Am assuming the "dc7tog over next 7 ch" should be in the same place, in each row where this stitch is used. In other words, these clusters should line up vertically. Unfortunately, I am finding that some do, while others don't. They are in more of an alternating, back and forth pattern, instead of lining up one on top the other. Am I making the wrong assumption? How can I get in touch with Marilyn Losee, the pattern designer? Thank you.

TR means triple crochet :) There are a few different ways to call out a triple crochet, based on whether the pattern is in English or US terms, but they all mean the same thing! We're so glad you like this pattern! Let us know if we can help with anything else!

I just did the first row. chained 159 and did all 13 repeats, but came up short, I do not have 4 chains left at the end for the dc4tog, before turning. I read down some comments and some mentioned add 3 additional chains - which would make 162. Does this seem correct to everyone? Thanks.

Well, I have tried several times and failed miserably. Usually I can figure things out is there is an error, but this once would go along fine then whoops upsy daisy! I think once finished it would look lovely-for me it ended up as a scarf ! have been reading bananna comment and will try again her way...keep you posted!

FINaLLY, after 10 tries rocheting and taking out) I figured out the problem.Row 3 is written incorrectly. You need to skip a double crochet before and after the (trible crochet), then is worked out just fine. You can contact me if you like and I will define it better. Yea, now I am on a roll, will finish the wrap in no time. easy now.

Jan 24, 2013
you are most definately not stupid. the pattern is written with an error. If you look at bananana's comment it might help...do not despair everyone has a different way of understanding things and it has nothing to do with stupidity, but rather creativity!

Such an easy, pretty pattern. I just had to go step by step and it was fine. I just used a different brand acrylic yarn because that's all I had on hand. I guess there may have been corrections made in the past because it has worked out fine for me and it works up fast once you memorize the pattern for each row. Good luck crocheters!

I LOVE this pattern! I have made 4 of them already in 4 different colors! I have had no trouble reading and following the pattern, but I have come across the issue that by the time the wrap is done, there's never enough yarn left to do the fringe. Anyone else have this problem?

For those who want a better view of what this should look like, the original pattern is on the Caron website: http://tinyurl.com/2a3z3oc. The site also provides a downloadable PDF. I do think this post is a little disingenuous, as the one skein is calls for is a Caron one pound skein, not an average 7 or 8 ounce skein.

The wrap in the picture looks great, but I stumble upon the pattern (I am not a native english speaker). Can anyone please help: the patterns says: 'dc7tog over next 7 ch' Does this mean that a) I have to do dc7tog in the next 7 chains? or: b) skip 7 chains and do dc7tog in next one? or: c) something completely different. I'd be glad to get an answer!
GreenGrannie
Jul 15, 2012
You probably have an answer to this already, or have given up, but just in case, what this means is that you yarn over, insert hook in next stitch and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook, yarn over, insert hook in the second of the seven stitches, draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook, yarn over, insert hook in the third of the seven stitches, draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook... and so on until you have covered the seven stitches. At this point you should have eight loops on your hook. Yarn over and draw through the eight loops on your hook. Hope this helps.

I just tested this pattern and it appears okay. The pattern repeat is in multiples of 12. Add 3 to the beginning chain. The 13 pattern repeats at the end of row 1 is a row count to help ensure accuracy. It is letting you know that when you finish row 1, you should have 13 pattern repeats (assuming you are working from the patterns beginning chain of 159.

Could someone explain..I have crocheted for years and I am having problems with this pattern. In row one what does it mean when it says "dc7tog over next 7 ch"? If I read the instructions correctly, the pattern is worked in patterns of 12 stitches each; however, when I read row one I come up with 13 chains used(if I dc7tog in one chain space... Perhaps I have it all wrong. Please help if you can. Thanks

I'm having a tough time with this pattern, too. I've added the additional 12 stitches required to make it longer and can't get it to come out (not enough stitches at the end.) Yet the first row seems ok. Maybe I'll go to Caron's site and check it out there.

Per the Caron yarn website the Wrap measures approximately 24"/61cm wide x 68"/172.5cm long. There is also a way to enlarge the picture on the Caron website that might help you understand the pattern better. Hope all that helps.
