Ocean Kiss Summer Wrap

The Ocean Kiss Summer Wrap is the 3rd pattern released from my Ocean Kiss Summer Collection, this time using the whole of one ball of Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball in Wind Chimes which has a beautiful silver metallic effect thread running through it. It really twinkles in bright sunlight.

If you would prefer an inexpensive ad-free formatted PDF version, here is the link to purchase from Ravelry CLICK HERE

If this is your first visit to my site then you will soon discover that I am a very big fan of Lion Brand yarn, and particularly Shawl in a Ball. The Ocean Kiss Summer Collection uses Opal and Wind Chimes as the colours to highlight the patterns, but the whole range is lovely, with some stunning colour combinations.

Shawl in a Ball comes in 150g balls that just go on and on, you can make this wrap with just one ball. If you live in the UK, I do have small quantities in my online store.

Now, before you scroll down to read the pattern details for the wrap, I have some very exciting news to tell you!

 

The other news is that I have decided to open a Facebook Group, so it’s easier for me to talk to you all, and get to see pictures of your work, and have other designers share their new pattern links with you.

My new group is called Crochet 24/7 Club – Crochet Together – I would love for you all to join CLICK HERE

Additional Pattern Note:- The finished wrap measures 80” in length and 9 1/2 inches wide. If you want it to be longer use the multiple I have added, divisible by 3, then add 2, and add 1 just for your starting chain. Prefer it wider? You will need a second ball of yarn to crochet another repeat of rows 13-22.

Instructions written using USA crochet terms.

CH1 – Does not count as a stitch

CH4 – Counts as the first TRC stitch on “X” rows, meaning the very first space to place a stitch, is already “used”. And also counts as the first DC/CH1 on TRC Cluster rows.

Multiple 3+2+1 for the foundation chain.

ROW 1:- CH183, SC in 2nd CH from hook, SC in each CH to end of row, turn (182 SC)

ROW 2:- CH1, HDC in each SC, repeat across, turn (182 HDC)

ROW 3:- CH1, HDC in each HDC, repeat across, turn (182 HDC)

ROW 4:- CH1, SC in each HDC, repeat across, turn (182 SC)

ROW 5:- CH4 (counts as a TRC), TRX across, ending with a TRC in final SC, turn (60 TRX, 2 TRC)

ROW 6:- CH4, *(DC Cluster (space in top half of first “X”), CH2), repeat a further 58 times, on the final “X” DC Cluster, CH1, DC in 4th CH, turn (60 DC Cluster, 2 DC)

ROW 7:- CH1, SC into previous row DC, SC in the CH1 space, *(SC through top of DC3TOG Cluster, 2 SC in CH2 space), *repeat across ending with SC through top of final cluster, SC under CH1 space (4th CH previous row), then SC in 3rd CH of previous row, turn (182 SC)

Check your count here, the easiest place to miss a SC is either the first 2, (the SC in the first cluster is your 3rd SC made) or the last 2 SC’s (made using the starting CH4 of the previous row).

 

ROW 8:- CH1, HDC in each SC, repeat across, turn (182 HDC)

ROW 9:- CH1, HDC in each HDC, repeat across, turn (182 HDC)

ROW 10:- CH1, SC in each HDC, repeat across, turn (182 SC)

ROW 11:- CH4 (counts as a TRC), TRX across, ending with a TRC in final SC, turn  (60 TRX, 2 TRC)

ROW 12:- CH4, *(DC Cluster (space in top half of first “X”), CH2), repeat a further 58 times, final “X” DC Cluster, CH1, DC in 4th CH, turn (60 DC Cluster, 2 DC)

ROW 13-18:- repeat rows 7-12

ROW 19- 22 repeat rows 7-10

Cut your yarn, leaving a tail to weave in. Pull yarn through final loop on hook and then weave in the end to hide.
