The Autumn Stroll Wrap

Written by on in Crochet Patterns, Free Patterns

I love chevrons -crocheting them makes my heart happy, so I knew I wanted to make a wrap using them. I also know that crocheting chevrons can be intimidating, so I created a video tutorial to guide you through the process.

I had wonderful pattern testers help me with this – if you are curious, check out the #autumnstollwrap on Instagram. You can also check out my profile here. This wrap is also such a quick work up that I’ve made two! One is the two color version above, and the second is the monochromatic version below:

The monochromatic version uses a lovely Malabrigo Sock – check out the yarn details below for information on both versions.

I have fallen so in love with this pattern that I want to share it with the world! The only way I can do that is to offer it as a free pattern!

If you’d prefer to purchase an ad free PDF version, you can either do that through Ravelry or Payhip.

There is also a video tutorial to go long with it – you can watch it here:

What you’ll need:

  • 200 g of fingering weight yarn
  • 3.5 mm crochet hook
  • Gram scale
  • Stitch marker
  • Scissors
  • Tape measure

Yarn notes:  I used  458y or 99 g in Enchanted Garden by The Frosted Stitch (Snowflake Sock) and 376 y or 94g in Prowl by Explorer Knits Fibers (Denali Sock). 

For the second shawl (as seen in the video), I used 810 y or 184 g Malabrigo Sock in Botticelli Red.  

This pattern can be made in any number of ways – a single color, two colors, or a fade.  Let your creativity roam free with this one!

Final measurements after blocking: Approximately 67” by 17”

Abbreviations (in US terms):

  • Ch(s) – Chains 
  • Dc – Double crochet
  • Dc2tog/3 – Double crochet 2 together over 3 stitches
  • Dc2tog/5 – Double crochet 2 together over 5 stitches
  • Dc5tog – Double crochet 5 together 
  • DTr – Double Treble crochet
  • Hdc- Half double crochet
  • Sc – Single crochet 
  • Sk- Skip
  • Sl st – Slip stitch 
  • Sp – Space 
  • St(s) – Stitch(es)
  • Tr – Treble crochet 

Special Stitches:

Dc5tog/5: *Yarn over, pull up a loop.  Yarn over and pull through two.*  You will have 2 loops on your hook.  Repeat * to * in the next 4 sts.  You will have 6 loops on your hook.  Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops.  

Dc2tog/5: Yarn over, pull up a loop.  Yarn over and pull through two (you will have two loops on your hook).  Sk 3 sts, yarn over and pull up a loop in the next st.  Yarn over and pull through two, then yarn over and pull through all 3. 

Dc2tog/3: Yarn over, pull up a loop.  Yarn over and pull through two (you will have two loops on your hook).  Sk the next st, yarn over and pull up a loop in the next st.  Yarn over, pull through two, then yarn over and pull through all 3.

Gauge: 

Measured blocked 

Main body 4” x 4”: 18 sts by 8 rows

Chevron: 8 rows per 4” 

Gauge is not crucial in this wrap as long as your yarn (if using more than one color) is similar in weight and fiber content.  

Pattern notes:

This is an intermediate pattern and does require you to be aware of your st counts!

  • The beginning ch 2 counts as Dc.
  • The beginning ch 3 counts as Dc, ch 1. 
  • The beginning ch 4 counts as Tr, ch 1.
  • The beginning ch 5 counts as a Dtr, ch 1. 
  • The ch 3 at the top of the chevron counts as 3 stitches towards st count.
  • When working on the row after a mesh row, always place your st in the ch sp from the previous row, not in the stitch itself.
  • The wrap ends are not mirror images – the chevrons are constructed a little differently on each end. 

Optional color changes: 

You can change your colors as you please.  For the wrap pictured above, I changed colors as follows:

Use Color 1 for Beginning Chevron section.  Change to color 2 at the end of the last chevron row and use Color 2 for the Transition 1 section. Continue with Color 2 through the Main Body until Row 17. 

Change to Color 1 for Rows 18-26.  

Change to Color 2 for Rows 27-44.    

Change to Color 1 for Rows 45-53.

Change to Color 2 for Rows 54-72.

Use Color 2 for the Transition 2 section, then switch to Color 1 for the Ending Chevron Section.

Change to Color 2 for the Optional Picot Border.

Row 4: Repeat Main Body Row 2.

Repeat Main Body Rows 1-4 until the remaining yarn you have is the same weight as the part you weighed, plus 3 g.  For example, if the Beginning Chevron and Decreasing sections weighed 36 g, stop with the main body when you have 39 g (36 + 3) left.  You will also need to stop at either Row 2 or Row 4.  If you’d like a longer wrap, you may add a 3rd skein of yarn.

Final Notes:

It is very important to block this garment! This will open up the stitches to give it that lacy look. I recommend soaking the garment in cool water for 20 minutes in a non-wash rinse such as Eucalan or Soak. Do not wring or twist the garment, but instead roll it in a towel to get rid of any excess water. If you would like to open up the stitch pattern more, I recommend using pins or a blocking board. If you wait to weave in your ends until after blocking, you will have less pucker or pull in the garment.  I love my blocking boards from We Crochet – find them here.
