Crochet Pattern At A Glance

My Crochet Pattern Notes

Don’t let the long starting chain fool you. Each successive row removes one full 3-stitch repeat. The rows get shorter and shorter as you go.

The result is a long right-angled triangle, hence the name “The Right Wrap”.

Yarn Substitution

An excellent substitution is Lion Brand Mandala Yarn. It’s currently available in 27 shades. The cakes are a little smaller but two cakes should still be enough yardage for completion.

Other Materials

Suggested Crochet Hook Size J-10 (6mm) or hook needed to meet gauge.
Yarn Needle for weaving ends.

Gauge

In stitch pattern, 19 stitches for 12 rows equals approximately 4×4″.

Working at a different tension may require additional materials.

Special Stitches

For ease of counting, each [sc, ch 2, sc] is called a “Shell”.

Abbreviations

This crochet pattern is written in US crochet terminology.

ch=chain; rep=repeat; sc=single crochet; sk=skip; sl=slip; sp(s)=space(s); st(s)=stitch(es).

All numbers after the colon at the end of an instruction are stitch counts. Use the stitch count to check your work.

Stitch Multiple

To change the size, make your initial chain any multiple of 3, then add 3.

I love the Multiple of 3. In order to find out if any number is a multiple of 3, add all the digits together and, if the end result is a multiple of 3, then the full number is a multiple of 3.

Examples: 42 is 4+2=6. 6 is a multiple of 3 so 42 is too. 252 is 2+5+2=9. 9 is a multiple of 3 so 252 is too.
