Description of my Graceful Wrap:

The Graceful Wrap is created from the bottom up which makes it the perfect project to do while chilling with a movie. Once you have got into the rhythm of the sedge stitch you just keep going.

This free summer wrap pattern uses the sedge stitch. I chose the sedge stitch as it is a simple stitch but creates such a high impact. The texture it creates is quite magical.

This Graceful Wrap is 13 ” wide approximately and 74″  long. Of course you can customize it by adding extra stitches for added width, and doing extra rows to make it longer. Just remember to always go up in multiples of 3 when adding stitches for the sedge stitch.

Don’t forget to pin it for later so you don’t lose it.

Here is a great video tutorial on how to make a bralette. There is a right as well as a left handed version of this tutorial so check it out.

All About the Yarn I Chose for my Graceful Wrap.

For this free summer wrap pattern I decided to use Caron Cotton Cakes  yarn in the colourway Cracked Pepper. I chose this yarn as the colours were subtle and neutral and it was perfect for my vision of an elegant lacy summer wrap.

This yarn is a 60% cotton, 40% acrylic blend and it is a number 4  worsted weight.   You can make a scarf or a small shawl with just one cake. I used two as I wanted my summer wrap to be wider and longer than one ball would allow.

 

 

The Graceful Wrap is a free summer wrap pattern and is perfect for advanced beginners as well as advanced crocheters. It has such a beautiful lacy texture.

Special Stitch for this Pattern.

I have a video tutorial for the sedge stitch on my Carroway Crochet YouTube channel. There is a right and a left handed version.

 

Written Sedge Stitch Instructions.

This stitch uses multiples of 3

Row 1: HDC into the 2nd ch from the hook, make a DC into the same ch.  skip two chains and in the next ch make a SC, HDC, DC., *Skip two chains and make “SC, HDC, DC” into the next ch.* Repeat from*to * across to the end and there is one chain left. Do one SC and turn.

Row 2: Chain one (this counts as your first SC), HDC and DC into the top of the SC you just made of the row below. Skip over the DC and HDC, “SC, HDC, DC” into the SC. You’ll always be looking for the SC to do your “SC, HDC, DC” into. Repeat the pattern across ending the last stitch with one single crochet. (When you get to the end, you’ll have two stitches left, just skip one and SC into the last stitch).

Row 2 forms the pattern for the sedge stitch.

This is the sedge stitch and I just love the beautiful texture it creates!
