🧶 Pattern Instructions

Step 1

Ch 4. Sl st to first ch to form a ring. (4 sts)

Row counter:

💡 Tip: Place stitch markers in the corners of each section to track increases.

Round 1

Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 2 dc in ring, ch 1, 3 dc in ring, ch 1, 3 dc in ring, ch 1, 3 dc in ring, ch 1. Sl st to top of ch-3. (12 dc, 4 ch-1 sps)
Round 2

Ch 3, 2 dc in same st, dc in next 2 sts, *2 dc in ch-1 sp, dc in next 2 sts of next dc-group* 3 times, 2 dc in last ch-1 sp. Sl st to top of ch-3. (28 dc)
Round 3

Ch 3, dc in each st around, increasing 1 dc in every 7th st by working 2 dc in one st. Sl st to top of ch-3. (32 dc)

Row counter:

💡 Tip: Maintain consistent spacing of openwork by keeping 6 dc between each ch-2 sp. Count frequently to ensure increases are even.

Rounds 4-8

Ch 3, dc in next 4 sts, *ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next 5 sts* repeat around, increasing 4 sts evenly distributed per round. Sl st to top of ch-3. Each round ends with approximately 8 more sts than previous round.
Round 9

Ch 3, dc in next 6 sts, *ch 2, sk 2 sts, dc in next 6 sts* repeat around, increasing 4 sts. Sl st to top of ch-3. (68 dc)
Rounds 10-15

Ch 3, dc in next 6 sts, *ch 2, sk 2 sts, dc in next 6 sts* repeat around, increasing 6 sts per round by adding increases in the middle of dc-groups. Sl st to top of ch-3. After Round 15: approximately 104 sts.

Row counter:

💡 Tip: The wrap should begin to curve naturally as you work outward. If it curls up, you may be working too tightly; loosen your tension slightly.

Rounds 16-20

Ch 3, dc in next 7 sts, *ch 2, sk 2 sts, dc in next 7 sts* repeat around, increasing 8 sts per round. Sl st to top of ch-3. Continue until piece measures approximately 18 inches from center. Final round: approximately 144 sts.

Row counter:

Round 21 (Final)

Ch 1, sc in each dc around and in each ch-2 sp (work 2 sc in each ch-2 sp). Work 3 sc in each corner/turning area to maintain curve. Sl st to first sc. (approximately 190 sts)

Row counter:

✂️ Finishing

Cut yarn leaving a 6-inch tail. Pull tail through last loop and weave in all ends using tapestry needle. Wet block the wrap by pinning it to shape on a blocking board, spray with cool water, and allow to dry completely (12-24 hours). This will even out stitches and enhance the drape. Gently stretch the crescent shape while blocking to create proper curvature.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Sport). You'll need about approximately 800 yards, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Fine yarns give delicate detail. Cotton is great for structured pieces; mohair adds a halo effect for a dreamy look.

This intermediate pattern assumes you're comfortable with basic stitches. You'll use ch, sc, dc, hdc and a few more (see the Abbreviations section above). If increases and decreases are new to you, a quick 10-minute tutorial on YouTube before you start will make the pattern much smoother.

Usually it's the joining or finishing — where individual sections meet and need to align. Read through the entire pattern once before you start so there are no surprises. Use stitch markers generously to track your place, especially in rounds. If a section looks wrong, count your stitches before proceeding — catching an error early saves a lot of frogging later.

For this pattern, gauge is "24 sc x 20 rows = 4 inches in single crochet". For decorative or non-fitted items it's less critical, but matching gauge ensures you use the right amount of yarn and get the proportions the pattern intends. If your swatch is too small (too many stitches/inch), go up a hook size. Too large — go down.

Hand wash in cool water with gentle soap. Rinse thoroughly and squeeze out excess water gently—do not wring. Lay flat on a towel to dry or block to shape. Store folded in a breathable bag away from direct sunlight. Avoid chlorine and bleach. If blocking wears out, re-block as needed. A general rule: when unsure about the yarn, hand wash in cool water with a drop of gentle detergent, squeeze (don't wring), and block flat to dry. This is safe for almost every fiber.

Each section builds on the last, so yes — follow them in order. That said, some finishing sections (like embellishments or optional edging) can be skipped if you prefer a simpler look. Read through all sections before starting so you understand how the pieces fit together and can plan your yarn usage across sections.
