Cranberry Chill Wrap

Well hello there!

Today, I’d like to share a new pattern with you…

The Cranberry Chill Wrap!

This wrap is so stinkin’ easy and beginner friendly. It’s basically a giant rectangle.

The most difficult part is the cluster stitch and I’ve created a great little photo tutorial just to make it even easier! You can find that tutorial here.

If you refer to the photo tutorial for the cluster stitch, the only part you need to concern yourself with is the part showing how to work a cluster. Ignore the row of single crochet or repeated cluster stitches to form a row. I just wanted you to see how the cluster stitch itself is done.

Other than the cluster stitch, you will be crocheting the V-stitch (dc, ch 1, dc) and single crochets. Even the shell stitch border is a breeze.

Now this wrap measures 88″ long, which was long on me and I’m 5’8″.

For you shorter women, I would suggest not adding as many rows. Trust me, it won’t affect the pattern at all since it is just a four row repeat and you won’t need as much yarn…bonus! To make it easier to work a border, I would suggest ending on a Row 5, which is a row of only single crochets.

This elegant wrap will look stunning when paired with an evening dress or a simple pair of jeans! It’s an easy pattern and you can customize the length and colors to your own specifications—or someone else’s if you are giving it as a gift.

I also think this would make a great craft fair item! Just don’t forget to credit the designer if you’re selling online please.

Finished Size Approximately:

88” L x 21” W

Gauge:

16 single crochet stitches and 9.5 rows of the pattern in a 4” (10cm) square.

Special Stitches:

Cluster Stitch

YO, insert hook in st, YO, draw back through st, YO, draw through 2 loops on hook, (YO, insert hook back into same st, YO, draw back through st, YO, draw through 2 loops on hook) twice, YO, draw through all 4 loops on hook.

Shell Stitch

Five double crochets in the same stitch.

V-Stitch

Dc, ch 1, dc in same space.

Abbreviations:

FC – foundation chain
ch – chain
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
V-st – V-Stitch
sk – skip
sp – space
ea – each
st(s) – stitch(es)
sl st – slip stitch

Notes:

  • This wrap measures 88” long, which is pretty long, even for a tall person. Each 4 row repeat of the pattern measures about 1 ¾”. If you’d like to make the wrap shorter, stop working when the wrap measures your desired length. I recommend stopping on a Row 5 in the pattern for a neater appearance.
  • There are more Greybeard stripes because I wanted to begin and end with the same color.
  • If you’d like to make this shawl in any other size, you will need to adjust your foundation chain (starting chain). You will use a multiple of three chains plus one.

*** American crochet terms used throughout.

Instructions:

With Greybeard

FC: Ch 79

Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook. Sc in ea st across. Turn your work. (78 sc)

Row 5: Ch 1, sc in ea sc across. Turn. (78 sc)

Row 6: Ch 3, (counts as a dc), sk the 1st st that the ch 3 comes out of. *V-st in next st, sk next 2 sts* Repeat from * to * across until one st remains. Dc in last st. Turn. (26 V-sts)

Repeat Row 5 – Row 8 for pattern changing colors according to your preference or the pattern written below.

The color pattern is:

Total number of Stripes:

  • 9 Greybeard stripes
  • 8 Cranberry stripes
  • 8 Graphite stripes

Border

close up of corner detail

***Be sure to read all of the border directions before you begin. Essentially, you will be working the pattern of *single crochet, skip 2 stitches, shell stitch, skip 2 stitches* and repeat around the entire perimeter of the wrap, with a modified shell (7 dc) at each corner.

With Graphite

Attach Graphite in third st from any corner (working away from that corner, not towards). Sc, *sk 2 sts, shell st in next st (see special stitches), sk 2 sts, sc in next st.* Repeat from * to * across until there are 3 stitches left before the next corner. Sk 2 sts. In the corner and all in the same stitch, 7 dc. Working along the next edge, sk 2 sts, sc in next st and continue working the shell border pattern along the edge until you come to the next corner where you will work 7 dc in the corner st. Continue working this pattern along all four edges. Sl st into the first sc you made of the border.

Finish off. Weave in end.

Note: I did have to fudge the border a little since the stitches did not work out evenly. A few sides (at the end of the sides just before a corner) had 2 stitches left or 4 stitches left. I just went with it, pretending like there were three. As long as your corner stitches end up in the actual corners, it will be fine to miss a stitch or skip an extra stitch. Just don’t skip 5 or more because your wrap will start to pucker.

Note: (Optional) You also have the option to single crochet around the entire perimeter before the shell stitch border if you find that it would be easier to see what stitch you will be working into. Just (sc, ch 1, sc) in each corner and single crochet evenly around the rest. When working the corner shell, crochet into ch-1 sp of the corner made from your row of sc.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the Cranberry Chill Wrap pattern!

  1. Hello Chantal! I’m so excited to hear that you love the design of the Cranberry Chill Wrap! If you would like to change the width, you would need a multiple of three chains plus one. If you have any more questions, just let me know and thanks for commenting!

  2. Hi, i love this pattern i want to make it but not so large so if i don’t do it with thé 79 foundation stitches what number of foundation stitches would fit this pattern? Sometimes we could see like a multiple of a number in particular but i don’t see this information on this pattern is it possible to change the width? Hoping that i’m clear english is not my first langage

  3. Thank you so much! I’m thrilled to hear that you like my instructions! Thanks for commenting!

  4. Hello Kayla! Row 4 and Row 8 are exactly the same, but I wrote it this way because of the color changes in the example. If you’d prefer, you can repeat Row 5, Row 6, Row 7, Row 4. It will still work out the same as long as you are beginning each stripe with a single crochet row and ending each stripe with a single crochet row. If you Repeat Rows 4 – 7, you would end up with two rows of single crochet next to each other and the stripe would end on a clusters row. It wouldn’t look the same. Of course, all of this doesn’t matter if you aren’t using stripes. I hope this makes sense. Thank you for commenting!

  5. Hello, I was just curious about the repeat rows. On row 4, you make your row of SC with specific instructions, and row 5 is just SC’s. But you repeat rows 5 – 8 throughout. So when it comes to the clusters, do you still do row 4, or just row 5? Doesnt make mich sense to do row 4 only once to me when it comes to the clusters.

  6. Hi I love this shawl and would love to make it for my daughter. Where would I get your yarn.

  7. Hi Louise! To make it more narrow you will use a foundation chain with a multiple of 3 chains plus 1. You’ll be able to make it any size you want! 🙂

  8. I understand how to make the shawl shorter but I would like to make it narrower. What is the stitch count for making the chain so that mine would not be so wide?

  9. Hi Tammy!

    I don’t have a video at this time, but I can certainly make one. I can email you as soon as it is complete if you like. If you’d like to make a shorter version of this shawl, I would leave the foundation chain the same and leave off some of the rows. As you work, you can keep wrapping it around yourself periodically after adding a few rows to judge if you are happy with the length. I hope this helps! 🙂

  10. Hi Erica,

    I’m VERY new to crocheting and teaching myself via videos and tutorials. Would you happen to have a video?

    Also, to make a shorter version, do I still do the 79 foundation chain?

  11. Hi! I’m a bit confused your instructions call for repeats of rows 2 thru 5. Which means v-stitch row, cluster row, sc row, sc row then changing color after X amount of repeats. This means changing color after 2 rows of sc. Starting the new color as the v-stitch.
    Your pictures show the color change happening with row 5, the second row of sc.
    Which is it supposed to be?

    I am going to do mine as the pix show. I think starting and ending the repeats with the sc gives a cleaner look. Plus it makes hiding the ends simple!
    I just wanted to make you aware of the discrepancy so you could fix it for the less experienced crocheter.

  12. Can you make special order For one of your scarfs.Im want a particular scarf made? Looking forward to hearing back. Thanks

  13. Hi Clarissa! The foundation chain is simply your beginning chain at the base of the project that you will be crocheting your first row of instructions into. So for this pattern, you will chain 79 and that is your foundation or starting base. The Row 1 of single crochets will be worked along this starting chain. It sounds more technical than it really is. I hope this helps, but if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask! Thank you!

    Erica
