Inspiration behind the design

The Kate Crochet Wrap Pattern marks the beginning of something truly special! This design was the first piece in the Kate Collection, a project I’ve been passionately working on since last December. 

I envisioned a cozy, elegant crochet wrap that could double as a thick, warm scarf, with the possibility of adding pockets for practicality. 

While I was in the midst of designing the Robin Poncho, the idea for this crochet wrap pattern kept calling to me. I found myself searching for just the right stitch pattern, experimenting with textures, and calculating stitch counts until I discovered the perfect combination.

A whole collection:

The Kate Collection has since blossomed from this initial crochet wrap pattern. Each piece in the collection uses the same beautiful stitch pattern, creating a cohesive set of accessories that can be worn together or separately. 

Beyond the Kate Wrap, the collection now includes a cozy hat, a matching scarf, a baby bonnet and blanket set, a wristlet, a charming mug cozy, and our trademarked Coffee Beanie Cozy. And I’m not stopping there—I’m already dreaming up new designs, like fingerless gloves, to add to this ever-growing collection. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to complement the others, offering you a versatile, stylish look that suits any occasion. 

The Kate Crochet Wrap Pattern is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to see where this creative journey takes us next!

Construction of the design

The Kate Crochet Wrap Pattern is designed with simplicity and versatility in mind, making it an ideal project for a confident beginner with a basic understanding of crochet stitches. This crochet wrap is worked in short rows with an easy-to-memorize repeat, allowing you to customize the length to suit your personal style. Whether you prefer a shorter wrap for a more fitted look or a longer version to drape elegantly around your shoulders, this pattern can be easily adjusted to match your preference.

The stitch combination used in this design creates a beautiful texture while remaining straightforward and approachable. For those who are newer to crochet or unfamiliar with the special stitches in this pattern, don’t worry! I’ve included video tutorials to guide you through the stitch combination step-by-step, ensuring you have all the support you need to create your own stunning wrap. With a bit of practice, you’ll be surprised at how quickly you master the stitches and bring this elegant crochet wrap pattern to life!

The Yarn

This crochet wrap pattern has been designed to use 4 weight (aran) yarn. You can use any yarn you prefer for this one. It will look great in a solid, speckled, cake, shimmery or tweed yarn!

To be honest, the Kate wrap was something that I have been thinking about for a little while. And I had my yarn bought and ready! I used Women’s Institute in pink tweed – it’s a yarn that is only available in the UK at the moment. You can purchase it at Hobby Craft. But it works up beautifully. 

I’m not really a ‘pink person’ but this yarn just lept into my basket during a shopping trip. 

I think it’s a perfect colour for an elegant valentines gift. 

And, of course, tweed is always popular for the winter months!

You can also use a dk or #3 yarn for a lacier and more lightweight option to see you through spring as we patiently await the warmth of the summer sun….. I think we are all ready for a little bit of that now! If I’m being honest maybe the ‘patiently’ part is a little bit of a porky! I’m longing for some warm sunshine now!

 The Kate Wrap crochet pattern specifics:

Materials:

• Approx 950 yards of #4 worsted weight / aran yarn (or make it with a #3 yarn for a lighter wrap) Some of our testers used up to 1200 yards so it depends on the yarn you use and your gauge!
• 5mm hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle

Gauge:

Not important for this project as you can add or reduce length on the foundation row / starting chain, to achieved desired size.

Sizing:

Measures 24’’ x 73’’ – but to adjust length simply amend the number of repeats worked.

Abbreviations used:

Ch(s)–chain(s) Alt ch3 – alternate chain 3 St(s)–stitch(es) rep—repeat dc–double crochet fpdc – front post double crochet bpdc – back post double crochet sk—skip

Other notes:

Written in US terms Easily adapted for width and length. Alt ch3 counts as a st. We work this wrap from left to right rather than bottom to top.  Our first row therefore creates the height and we work to the length we desire.

Special Stitches:

Alt Ch 3: This is a way of starting the row without using the ch3 which can look gappy at the edges.
To do the alt ch3 turn your work, sc into the first st and then ch2. This counts as a stitch.

Fhdc: You will find the foundation hdc at 14:22 into these videos:

I find this has a more aesthetically pleasing finish than the chain start to projects.

Front and back post double crochets:
