Boho Wrap

Boho Wrap Crochet Shawl by Annelies Baes

What is Being Made

The Boho Wrap is a colorful crocheted shawl designed by independent designer Annelies Baes. This downloadable crochet pattern creates a rectangular wrap measuring 160 centimeters (63 inches) in length and 35 centimeters (13.75 inches) in width when measured without the fringe or tassels. The finished piece is an intermediate-level project suitable for crocheters with some experience looking to expand their skills.

Crochet Techniques and Construction

The Boho Wrap is worked using the filet stitch technique, a classic crochet method that creates an open, lacy fabric with a geometric appearance. The pattern is divided into 2 sections, with the first section beginning with a foundation chain followed by rows 1 through 94. The construction uses treble crochet stitches combined with chain spaces to build the filet pattern structure. The shawl is worked flat in rows, with 2 chain stitches at the beginning of each row as specified in the pattern instructions.

Stitches Used

This pattern utilizes several fundamental crochet stitches:

• Chain (ch) – the foundation stitch used to create the base and spaces throughout the pattern
• Chain-space(s) (ch-sp) – the open areas created between stitches that form the characteristic filet pattern
• Treble crochet (tr) – the primary stitch used to build the fabric structure and create the filet grid
• Slip stitch (slst) – used for joining and finishing techniques

Materials and Yarn Specifications

The Boho Wrap pattern calls for Lamana Cosma yarn, a high-quality blend consisting of 60% Pima cotton and 40% modal. This fiber composition creates a soft, breathable fabric ideal for a wrap. The pattern uses four coordinating yarn colors to create the boho aesthetic:

• Yarn A: Color 33 Carmine – 6 balls (approximately 600 meters/654 yards)
• Yarn B: Color 24 Petrol – 1 ball (approximately 100 meters/109 yards)
• Yarn C: Color 36 Light Blue – 1 ball (approximately 100 meters/109 yards)
• Yarn D: Color 44 Salmon – 3 balls (approximately 300 meters/327 yards)

Each ball of Lamana Cosma contains 50 grams and provides 100 meters (109 yards) of yarn. The pattern is designed to use UK crochet terminology.

Tools and Equipment

To complete this project, you will need:

• Crochet hooks in sizes 4 mm and 6 mm, with the 4 mm hook used for gauge swatching
• Gauge measurement – 18 treble crochet stitches by 8 rows should measure 10 x 10 centimeters (4 x 4 inches) using a 4 mm hook, or a size adjusted to obtain the correct gauge
• Scissors for cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends
• Ruler for measuring
• Pins and blocking mat for finishing and shaping the completed wrap
