A gorgeous, warm, triangular wrap for the colder months. Can be worn around the back and fastened at the front, or worn in front and fastened at the back. The Wrap starts in the centre of the long edge and gradually increases out and down to the points of the triangle. I’ve kept the stitches simple, only using double and treble crochets (UK terms), but the trebles are worked in front or back loops, around posts or grouped into popcorns. I have suggested a stitch marker to easily locate the centre stitch in the wrap. There is a stitch count provided for the first 12 rows so that you can have confidence in reading the pattern. The pattern is written in English, and I have created two versions of the pattern: one using UK terms and one using US terms.
