Shoulder Wrap Pattern
Shoulder Wrap
This is not so much of a pattern as it is for a guide, because you can vary it. It's really just a simple stitch that you probably wouldn't need a pattern for, but this can serve as a good guideline for beginners too, I suppose.
I saw something in a book and it was the only item in there I liked, but I didn't like it enough to buy the whole book! I wish now I remembered what it was. Anyway, I came home and made one up myself. It was stitched in a yarn that had a metallic strand. I didn't have one so I again made that up myself.
~Original pattern called for 2 balls of yarn, each 82-yards
though I used 98-yard balls, myself. My yarn was Mongolia by Dynasty yarns.
~Hook, size I or so, if your yarn is a bit bulkier than worsted. Depends on your yarn - adjust accordingly (maybe an H with worsted and add more stitches, or a J for extra bulky and add fewer stitches per row)
~To add the metallic gleam, I bought a spool of metallic sewing machine thread, Coats. You can even find this at Wal-Mart. Mine was silver.
Hold both strands together while crocheting this project.
Chain 89. (Check to be sure this is big enough to go all the way around your shoulders to the desired circumference before continuing! Your yarn, hook, and desired project size will vary.)
Turn and SC in the 2nd SC from the hook, to the end of the row
Repeat until the wrap is as long as you'd like it to be, and you're done!
To hold the wrap together and to give it a nice touch, just pin it together at the top with a brooch or a pin.
Unrolled:
Well, they were cheap
