Slice of Fall Wrap Crochet Pattern

What is Being Made

The Slice of Fall is a crocheted wrap designed by Jessie Rayot, measuring 72 inches by 23 inches.

The finished piece showcases a sophisticated drape suitable for both casual and dressed-up occasions.

Skill Level and Suitability

This pattern is rated at beginner skill level, making it an excellent choice for crocheters who are just starting their journey or those looking for a straightforward project. Despite its accessibility, the finished wrap delivers professional-looking results that belie its simple construction.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches Used

The Slice of Fall wrap is constructed using fundamental crochet techniques appropriate for beginners. The primary stitch used is the linen stitch, which creates a beautiful, textured fabric with excellent drape characteristics. The pattern also incorporates basic foundational stitches including:

• Chain stitch (ch) – used to create the foundation and increase rows throughout the pattern
• Single crochet (sc) – provides structure and density to the fabric
• Spaces (sp) – openwork areas created between stitches that contribute to the wrap's elegant appearance and breathability

The linen stitch technique, while beginner-friendly, produces a refined fabric with excellent stitch definition and a professional finish. This stitch is known for creating a dense, stable fabric that drapes beautifully without being heavy.

Yarn and Materials

The sample wrap is created using Feederbrook Farms Milk and Honey, a DK weight yarn with a luxurious fiber blend of 67% Merino wool, 16% milk fibers, and 16% alpaca. This yarn requires 520 yards per 200 grams, with only 1 skein needed to complete the project. The milk fiber and alpaca content adds softness and a subtle sheen to the finished wrap, while the merino wool provides warmth and elasticity.

For those seeking alternative yarns, Knit Picks Galileo in DK weight is recommended as a good yarn substitute, requiring 4 skeins for completion. The pattern specifies a 4.5 mm (US 7) crochet hook and maintains a gauge of 22 stitches by 21 rows over 4 inches (10 centimeters) when working the linen stitch. A yarn needle is required for weaving in ends upon completion.
