    Easy Crochet Wrap for Spring! free pattern + video tutorial

    Learn how to crochet a lacy summer wrap with this easy to follow step-by-step video tutorial!

    The Dewdrop wrap is the perfect shawl for any season! 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 it a lot easier to make than it seems. Chains and double crochets make up 99% of this easy wrap (with single crochets making up the last 1%) and the pattern follows a four row repeat so you can extend it to any length you want! This simple and versatile project would also make a great Mother’s day gift.

    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 (for upcoming summer designs *wink*) 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!

    I also styled this wrap two different ways so you could see just how versatile it is! Despite, the lacy stitches and scalloped edge you can style it with a more casual look (i.e. – the denim jacket and leggings) to add a feminine touch to your outfit or you can pair it with a flowy maxi dress for all the romantic vibes – imagine strolling through Provence (south of France) with this wrap during lavender season!

    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.

    The Dewdrop wrap is very forgiving so any aran/worsted 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!

        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 🙂

        Thank you Maria! You can work the 3DC into the last st or in the turning chain ch-2 at the end of the row - as long as you're consistent it won't change the look of the wrap 🙂

      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!

        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?

      • Grace says

        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,
        Grace

Though I made some adjustments here and there with smaller yarn and hook which reward me with more rows but I keep the measurements like yours. Made this as a present for my mom and she loves it!! >< thanks so much for the beautiful patterns, I’ll continue to look forward for more amazing designs from you !

      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.

      Thank you, Grace, for making this beautiful wrap pattern available! I made it with DK Cloudborn Pima cotton yarn in peach. I used a 6mm hook , thinking wrap would be more lacy looking for summer weather. I think it is lovely.I wish I could attach photo but can't seem to do that.

      I finally figured out how to crotchet during the pandemic and tried this pattern with a skein of yard I had laying around. I think I've figured out all the stitches. My first row isn't a straight line but is almost triangular. Cannot figure out what I've done.

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
