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.
Really nice. I like the colour
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.
