The Dovetail Wrap pattern uses an easy two row repeat and the stitches that you will be working are the chain, single crochet, 3-dc puff stitch and the triple crochet. There are written instructions included in the “Special Stitches” section of the pattern that indicate how to work the 3-dc puff stitch. And, there is also a stitch chart for you chart readers out there.

I found this stitch pattern in my favorite book of crochet stitches called The Complete Book of Crochet Stitch Designs. If you haven’t picked this one up yet, I suggest that you do. It’s been the best book I’ve found so far and has 500 different stitches in it to choose from.

One thing I love about this pattern is that you can customize it to whatever size you want. You will need to start with a foundation chain (beginning chain) with a multiple of 6 chains and then add 2 more chains. You can add more rows to make it longer, you can use larger yarn to make the entire stole bigger and you can wear it several different ways. This is truly a pattern that almost anyone can use!

Please don’t let the size 1 yarn intimidate you. Like I said in the last paragraph, you can definitely use a larger size yarn, just keep in mind that the finished shawl will be slightly larger than the example, both in width and length. However, you can easily adjust the foundation chain and number of rows if desired.

This pattern calls for a size E/4 (3.5 mm) crochet hook. For those of you who don’t like working with smaller hooks or have a hard time holding them, have you ever considered the squishy ergonomic crochet hooks? They were a game changer for me! Click this link to see the ones that I use every day.

I really enjoyed playing around with all the ways that you can wear it. I tried to include photos of each of the ways. Did I miss any? Let me know in the comments below!

You know, I actually just thought of another! How about wrapping it around your waist when wearing a swimsuit!? Well, I didn’t get a photo of that one, but it is certainly another option. Realistically, you can wear this wrap/scarf year round.

This would also make a great gift for your friends, family, church members, anyone waiting in a hospital for good news. Someone is genuinely going to love and appreciate your kindness and generosity.

The Dovetail Wrap

Materials Used:

• E/4 (3.50 mm) crochet hook
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

14” Width x 67½” Length

Gauge:

23 double crochet stitches and 9 rows in a 4” (10cm) square.

Skill Level:

Easy

Special Stitches:

3 double crochet puff stitch (3-dc puff st)

(YO, insert hook in st, YO, draw yarn back through st, YO, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook) 3 times in same st, YO, draw yarn through 4 loops on hook.

Abbreviations:

YO – yarn over

FC – foundation chain

st(s) – stitch(es)

ch(s) – chain(s)

sc – single crochet

tc – triple crochet

3-dc puff st – 3 double crochet puff stitch

Notes:

• All 3-dc puff stitches will be worked into ch-3 spaces with the exception of Row 1, where they are worked into a single stitch.
• You can customize the width of this wrap by adjusting your foundation chain. Use a multiple of 6 chains and then add 2.
• You can also customize the length by adding or removing rows.
• This pattern calls for a size 1 yarn, but you can definitely use any size yarn you wish. Just remember that your shawl will be wider and longer, so you may wish to adjust your FC and number of rows.
• The pattern calls for 6.5 ounces to be used out of the 7 ounces simply because I had used .5 ounce on another project. You can either stop at Row 71 like the example, or you can use the remaining .5 ounce from your skein. Your shawl will just be a few rows longer than the example.
