The Whirlwind Wrap is crocheted in Forest Floor and uses the Bullion stitch. I added some metal buckles because I love the look of hardware on garments but if that’s not your gig, a shawl pin would also work beautifully.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Wrap measures approximately 64”/162.5cm across (at widest), 36”/91.5cm across (at narrowest), and 27”/68.5cm tall.

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)

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,…).
