    The Dewdrop Wrap is the perfect crochet shawl for any season! Summer, fall, winter or spring - the mesh arches give the wrap an open airy look while the (optional) scalloped border adds a romantic and feminine feel.

    Although the design looks intricate, this crochet wrap is a lot easier to crochet than it seems. The only crochet stitches you need are chains, single crochet and double crochet. This shawl follows a four row repeat that will feel intuitive after a few repeats, so it’s the perfect project to crochet toss in your bag and crochet on the go during lunch breaks, in waiting rooms or in the car!

    How to Crochet a Triangle Wrap

    The Dewdrop Wrap uses the centre-out technique that’s seamless! This means absolutely no seaming or spending hours at the end of your project assembling everything. If you find the most boring part of crocheting is the sewing (Like me haha) you’ll absolutely love this project.

    This easy triangle wrap starts with a loop – you simply chain 4 and slip stitch to join to form a ring.

    Once you have your ring, we’ll work into the centre on the ring to crochet your first row. A triangle has 3 points, so you’ll increase in 3 times each row – it’s as simple as that! Once, at the beginning of the row, secondly, in the centre chain space and thirdly, at the end of the row.

    After a couple of rows, you’ll see the triangle take shape and grow. This is such a satisfying project to track your progress 🙂 This pattern follows a 4 row repeat, with 3 different types of rows. You’ll crochet 2 rows of double crochets with one row of chain scallops and one row of double crochet clusters.

    To create the mesh scallop row, you’ll simply chain 5, skip 2 stitches and then single crochet. There’s no need for advanced stitches to crochet a lacy wrap!

    For the row of double crochet clusters, you’ll work 3 double crochets into the chain spaces. These clusters of double crochet help the chain scallops keep their signature ‘half-moon’ shape.

    You can crochet this shawl to any size you want and the scalloped edging is completely optional. Add it for a vintage touch or leave it off for a more modern look. This lacy crochet wrap makes the perfect Mother’s Day or Christmas Gift for a loved one.

    Crochet Stitch Chart for Visual Leaners

    If you love being able to ‘see’ the pattern before crocheting, then a stitch chart is perfect for you! The low-cost printable PDF includes a bonus stitch chart that shows the 4 row repeat and the finishing scallop border. If you’re having trouble understanding the centre-out triangle or knowing when to increase or forming the mesh scallops, you’ll find the printable PDF and stitch chart is a really valuable upgrade.

    Design Inspiration

    I’ve been thinking of a scalloped shawl design for a while (since I first made the Sunburst Scarf last year! Also check out the Stormborn Wrap) but I like wrap patterns that are simple and a little bit mindless, without complicated stitch designs or the need to count stitches every single row.

    I couldn’t quite come up with a design that looked delicate and lacy without requiring the skills to read a crazy advanced crochet stitch chart. Finally, I was playing around with creating mesh fabrics and discovered this combination of stitches that looked a lot more intricate and lacier than it really was!

    The best part is that it follows such a simple repeat so it's a lot easier to crochet than you would think, even after you've read the pattern! And the four row repeat means that you’ll quickly know if your stitch count is on the right track. I find that wraps with large sections of double crochet rows are easy but you can quickly loose the right stitch count since everything looks the same!

    I love how the mesh/eyelets/gaps of this shawl all have rounded edges instead of the normal grid like look you find with crochet mesh to create a dreamy, romantic look. Also, I’d highly recommend steam blocking this wrap as it helps all the scallops and eyelets open up and create such a beautiful lacy effect.

    Thanks to the airy design, the Dewdrop Wrap works well in any season – winter, spring, summer or fall! (Does anyone else hear the Gilmore Girls theme song in their head? haha).  Just choose a yarn fibre that’s suitable to the season you’d like to wear this wrap. I can already imagine a cotton version in a light sea blue would be amazing in summer or a merino wool yarn for winter!

    You can also style this wrap for casual or formal occasions! Perfect for weddings, windy beach days or a stylish layer in fall – the Dewdrop Wrap is perfectly casual and put together all at once. For a casual look, pair it with a denim jacket and leggings (as pictured) or over a flowy maxi dress for all the romantic summer vibes.

    Yarn

    My yarn stash has been getting out of control so I used an aran merino yarn that’s from a small farm in the South Island of New Zealand. This organic merino really has the bounciest, most marshmallowy feel in any yarn I’ve ever tried! This merino is also undyed, so it’s just the natural cream colour of the sheep.

    This triangle crochet wrap is very forgiving so any aran/worsted/Medium (4) weight yarn would make a great substitute! For the closest substitute you can pick a merino yarn from WeCrochet’s Bare range – they are all untreated yarns that shine by themselves or are great for dying or Lionbrand’s Jeans or Basic stitch are great affordable alternatives!

    Should I Steam Block the Wrap?

    To get your shawl looking it’s best I’d highly recommend steam blocking this wrap. Normally, I leave it up to you to decide if you want to block your pattern. As a general rule of thumb, I steam block when I want my stitches to be more open and relaxed. It’s great if you want a drapey, slouchy and casual look.

    With the Dewdrop Wrap, steam blocking as it helps all the scallops and eyelets open up to create such a beautiful lacy effect. Also steam blocking helps to straighten the edges of triangle wraps for a crisp and even triangle.

    To steam block, I like to use blocking mats and metal t-pins but in a pinch, you can just lay your shawl over a couple of towels. I place the wrap on the mats, and slowly wave the steamer over the wrap like a wand. Once the wrap feels damp, I pin the edges into place to form a straight line. Make sure to pin down the corners well so they don’t curl up. I gently steam the wrap again and leave it to dry overnight or in the sun.

    If you don’t have a steamer you can always use an iron on the steam function just be very careful. Do not let the plate of the iron touch the stitches as the iron can burn your yarn and even melt acrylic! To look after your hard work, always hover an inch above your garment.

        Hi, I'd suggest using the hook size that's recommended on the yarn label. You might need more yarn (and repeat the 4-row repeat more times) to make the wrap the same as the sample. Grace 🙂

      It's lovely!! I have 4skeins of 50gr / 155m / 170y to use with a 3mm hook. If I use a 5mm do you think I'll be ok? Or I will end up having a wrap with big holes? The 4skeins are enough? Thank you!

        June 27, 2020 at 5:30 am

        Hi Eleni,
        If the yarn is suitable for a 3mm hook, a 5mm hook is quite a big difference! Remember that for smaller hook sizes it goes 3mm, 3.25mm, 3.5mm, 3.75mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm. So the difference between 3mm and a 4mm hook is actually 4 sizes while the difference between a 4mm hook and 5mm hook is 2 sizes. Since you're using a different weight of yarn, your gauge will probably be completely different but since this pattern uses 7 skeins of aran yarn I'm guessing that 4 skeins of a sport/5ply yarn will make a much smaller wrap.
        I hope this helps,
        Grace

      I love this wrap but having a small problem. I am having problems by the time I get to row 17. I guessed that each row would be a plus 6 count for the next row. Am I guessing wrong?

        July 23, 2020 at 3:53 am

        Hi Debbie,
        You should have 96 sts at the end of row 16 (and your st count should increase by 6 sts each except for rows that are a repeat of row 5). Row 17 is a chain scallop row so you'll have 8DC, 2 ch-4-sp, 30 ch-5-sp.
        I hope this helps,

        So beautiful shawl and Love it cause ist's getting a nice wrap.
        I started it with Acryl Medium yarn and 5mm hook. It Looks really great,but i have a problem i guess...it ist not really straight at the Line where i make the increases and the beginning side of the shawl. Hope that it will geht straight after the blocking.
        Could this Happen because of the 3 DC at the last stitch i make at the beginning ch2 of last row?? If you understand what i mean, would bei very nice of an answer.

      I started crocheting at the end of 2020 and am loving it. I recently made this shawl using Bernat's Baby Velvet and Crushed Velvet and it turned out wonderfully! Using skills I learned from this pattern I was able to improvise the edges a little bit. Made it for my mum's birthday and think I might make myself one next. Thanks so much! The pattern is great and so easy to follow.

      Could you give me the name of the supplier of the organic yarn you used please? I would like to use it to make your shawl pattern.
      Thank you.

      Hi there! I have started this shawl several times … beautiful pattern and it is easy to follow . Unfortunately my triangle curls in on the corners!!!! The three double crochets in the first chain seem to be causing the curl. !?! Someone has told me that it will straighten out but the curl gets worse as the triangle grows

        Have the Same problem. Did you Block it? I think this Happens because of the 3 DC at the "last" stitch...of the previous ch 2..

      Thank you for this! What would your thoughts be about a 1 or 2 weight yarn? Thinking about for a wedding shawl.
