If those colors aren’t available, any from this category will work.

Notes From the Designer:

Tropical sunshine, fruit drinks, sandy beaches, salty air, and gorgeous sunsets. These are all of the things that I was imagining when designing this squares wrap. Pineapple motifs surrounded by columns of Cluster Shells are the main features that I included to give this wrap a tropical feel. The bamboo alpaca blend yarn has a gorgeous drape that helps bring the pineapple motif sections to life.

  • The original version of this pattern used four skeins of our Limited Edition Bamboo Fingering yarn in the discontinued colors: A) Sailboat, B) Yoga on the Beach, C) Resort, and D) Green Coconut.
  • The wrap is made of four squares and is worked flat from the top down before being seamed together.
  • Gauge is crucial to this project, so be sure to check your gauge often and adjust accordingly.
  • The beginning ch 4 counts as dc and ch 1 unless otherwise noted.
  • You can opt to make all four panels in a single color, each in a different color, or any other combination you choose. Make it your own!
  • Armholes are created by seaming part way up on each side, leaving approximately 8” (20.5 cm) open at the top. (See Finishing instructions).
  • To adjust the width of the panels, cast on more/fewer multiples of 20. Each multiple of 20 will translate to about 4.5” (11.5 cm), blocked.
  • To adjust the length of the panels, simply change the number of times you repeat Rows 3-10. Each repeat of Rows 3-10 translates to about 4” (10 cm), blocked.
  • Simple repeating rows make this a great pattern for those who wish to practice their lace crochet techniques.
  • Pattern includes schematics for seaming.
  • The original sample was made using four separate colors, but would look lovely in a single color, as shown in the updated version.
  • The wrap contains armholes to allow for greater flexibility.
  • Wear Pineapple Sunset open or tied in the front for an easy wrap that’ll look gorgeous on all your exotic travels.
