Best Stitches for Crochet Wraps

- Single Crochet Stitch (sc)
- Double Crochet (dc)
- Half Double Crochet (hdc)
- Treble Crochet (trc)
- Slip Stitch Crochet (sl st)
- Chain Stitches (ch)
Supplies for Crocheted Wraps
Most of these wrap patterns only used common crochet tools.
- Yarn: Crochet wraps are made with yarns of various weights depending on whether it is suitable for winter or summer. Warm wraps are generally made in wool or acrylic yarn in chunky yarn weights. On the other hand, cotton makes a lighter wrap and gives a lacy, elegant feel.
Most of these crochet wrap patterns use either a worsted weight yarn or DK weight yarn. Both of these weights are suitable for beginners. Any lighter yarn, such as sport or fingering weight yarn, is better for intermediate or advanced crocheters.
TIP: Always make sure you buy all yarn for your crochet wrap at once so it is from the same dye lot. You don't want the color to change halfway through your crochet project.
- Crochet Hooks: Use a suitable hook size for your yarn. Because crochet wraps are unfitted, you don't really need to do a crochet gauge swatch and adjust your hook. Just use the hook recommended on the pattern or yarn label.
- Blocking Tools: After you have finished crocheting a wrap, you will want to block it to get even edges and flatten the shape. Crochet shawls are pinned to the blocking mats, then sprayed with water and left to dry in the perfect shape.
- Crochet Basics: Tapestry needle for sewing in the ends, scissors, measuring tape, and stitch markers.
Crochet Wrap Sizes and Shapes
Some crochet wraps are a triangle shape while others are rectangle. This means sizing can vary dramatically. As a general rule, wraps are around 60 to 70 inches long. If you want something that wraps around a few times, you might be better off learning how to crochet a scarf - or just make the wrap larger than the pattern indicates.
How to Crochet a Wrap
You can make a crochet wrap pattern from any triangle crochet shape. Just make it large enough to fit around your shoulders.

Crochet Wrap FAQs
What Size is a Crochet Wrap
A crochet wrap pattern can vary enormously in size, but as a general rule, they are 60 to 70 inches long. They don't wrap around your neck or body as many times as a scarf. Wraps tend to be longer than scarves, and most start at 20 inches wide.
What is the Best Crochet Stitch for a Shawl?
The best crochet stitch for a shawl depends on your skill level. If you are looking for a beginner-friendly pattern, then look for simple stitches such as the popular double crochet. For a warmer shawl, dense stitches such as single crochet or half double crochet can be used. Lacy shawls suit the treble crochet.
What are the Basic Crochet Shawl Shapes?
The most common shawl shapes are either a rectangle, triangle, or circular with a hole for the neck. Within these shapes, there can be many variations and sizing differences. If you are a beginner crocheter, the easiest shawl shape is the rectangle.
How Much Yarn Do You Need to Crochet a Shawl
For most crochet shawl patterns, you will need 3 or 4 balls of yarn. Always check the pattern and consider whether you will make it exactly the same or slightly larger or smaller.
Decorating Crochet Wraps
Crochet wraps don't need to be plain! You can add fringing, make pom poms for the ends or add tassels. This is a great way to use up some of your leftover yarns.
