DAWN’S CROCHETED WRAP

DAWN'S WRAP (2)DAWN'S WRAP

This is the wrap that I have made for my friend Dawn.  It is my first crocheted item.  I have used Knitman’s Kitchen 50% SWMerino 50% Tencel, 800m/100g. I used a 5.5 mm hook.  The stitch is my own.  I had thought it was a treble but it is not and it is also not a double.  I wrap the yarn poke the hook through, , pull the yarn through, wrap again and pulled through one through one loop, wrap and pull through two loops, wrap and pull through two loops.

I am very pleased with the drape of this wrap.  It did not take me long to do.  I will post it off to Dawn later today.

Hi Colin :) The stitch you described is an "extended double crochet" (in American terms - treble in UK) and is sometimes called and "Elmore double crochet". It is often used for filet crochet, to help square up the open mesh. Great job on the wrap - love the colour :)

Ditto on what Catlady said. I've used this stitch before on a shawl.

Good job, Colin!

The shawl looks great, I am sure Dawn will enjoy it.

Very nice work, and beautiful yarn. I am a total failure at crochet.

Your wrap turned out incredible, it looks drapy soft and the colorway is fantastic! I'm envious of Dawn!

Beautiful! I bet it feels wonderful to wrap up in.
