This budget friendly version of Cate’s Wrap was made for my mother who is only 5’ 3”. I left off rounds 0-2 and began at round 3 and finished ending with row 29. I crochet a boarder around the whole wrap adding a button hole at the top of round 3. I slightly gathered the neck area and added a large button.

At round 18 I stopped increasing the length of the rounds by: 2 decrease at start of row 1, 1 increase at start of row 2, 4, and 6, 1 increase at start of row 8 and 1 decrease at end of row 8. On row C decease at start of row, On row D 1 increase at start of row and 1 decrease at end of row D.

I used a thicker yarn than pattern calls for so the eyelet holes were too big. I closed up the eyelets by weaving my hook through the last single crochet of the short row and inside edge of single crochets in the short row (7 loops or holes weaved through), at the bottom single crochet, yarn over and pull yarn all the way through with out going through loop on hook (pull and tighten slightly), yo pull through both loops on hook (sc completed) then continue to the next un-worked sc of the long row. Check count of stitches in row. If you are off a stitch this is most likely where the problem is.

See the notes from another Cate’s Wrap I did about the yarn and problems I had.
