HDC Criss-Cross Crochet Fall Wrap
Make this crochet fall wrap in any two or more colors as you like. I changed color after every eight rows, but it’s super easy to customize this as you like. Work it up in three colors changing every row, every two rows, or whatever works with your wardrobe and/or yarn stash! That’s basically what I did and it turned out great!
I had this Lion Brand 24/7 cotton yarn, and the first thing that came to mind was a shawl for the fall. It’s a cotton material, but with the stitch that I used, I think it’ll make for a nice cozy wrap, just perfect for the fall season.
The Stitch Pattern
The shawl is worked in rows with the half double crochet cross stitch and rows of single crochets.
It’s a super easy and mindless stitch pattern that you can enjoy along with watching your favorite T.V. shows. (Can you tell by now that I enjoy T.V. while I crochet?)
The Size
The finished size is 64″ x 12″ after blocking. But, in a simple multiple of 2 + 1, you can adjust this to any length that you like. The width too can be adjusted simply by doing more repeats of the pattern.
The Yarn
I used Lion Brand 24/7 cotton just because the colors I had on hand were so fitting for the fall. But, honestly, this stitch will look great in any yarn and color design that you want. Just make sure to do a gauge swatch to calculate the number of stitches you need for the size that you want.
How to Block
To block this you need to wet it down. Then squeeze out any excess water with your hands and then with a towel. Lay it flat and allow to dry completely.
