Are you looking to make a nice, large wrap to keep your shoulders warm, one with a unique construction and an eye-catching design? Are you looking for a relaxing, meditative project that you can just pick up at the end of the day and work a few rows to help you wind down? Then, this is the crochet project for you!

Construction: This trapezoidal wrap is worked lengthwise from the bottom up with increases at the beginning and end of each row.

Stitch pattern: A variation of granny stitch, you’ll work (ch 1, 2 dc) in each chain-1 space between 2-dc groups.

Colorwork: Tapestry crochet is used to create the vertical stripe pattern. You’ll change colors after every 2-dc group.

Whether you’re familiar with tapestry crochet or you’re trying it for the first time, I hope you’ll enjoy making a Shadow Plaid Wrap.
