WOVEN WRAP

Note The slipped stitches at each edge of this wrap will stop the

edges curling in. Make sure to check occasionally that all your holes

are lined up, there is nothing worse than having to pull back lots of

rows if you spot a mistake. When making the crochet cords be sure

to make them long enough, even a little longer than your wrap.

Once threaded through you can pull back a few chains if required to

ensure an accurate fit.

FINISHING

1 Weave in ends and block gently to measurements, following any

yarn care instructions on the ball band.

2 Using a 6.5mm crochet hook make cords of crochet chains (page

94) of approx 195cm in length (or length of your wrap). Be sure to

make them long enough. Make three cords in Yarn B and three

cords in Yarn C.

3 Weave the crochet cords through the holes in the wrap using the

photograph as a guide. Make sure you lay your wrap on a flat

surface when weaving the crochet cords through. Don’t pull the

cords too tight or your wrap will not lie flat and will pucker.

4 Once woven through fasten off each end of the cords on the

reverse of the wrap.

TOP TIP
Knitting patterns often have
detail worked in crochet, but
you don’t really need to be a
crocheter to have a go. If you’ve
never tried crochet before you
can find a mini step-by-step of
chain stitch on page 94.
Always check your threading holes are lined up,
one out of place will ruin the overall look of your wrap
Make sure your crochet
chains are long enough to
run the length of your wrap
without puckering it
