Fall Leaves Wrap ~ CGOA Design Competition Winner
Project Overview
The Fall Leaves Wrap is an intermediate-level crochet shawl pattern designed by Jessie Rayot. This design earned first place in the accessories category of the 2014 CGOA Design Competition, making it a recognized achievement in the crochet design community. The wrap is sized to fit most adult women and provides seasonal style while offering practical warmth during cooler months.
What Is Being Made
This pattern creates a decorative crochet wrap featuring individual leaf motifs that are assembled together. The design captures the aesthetic of fall foliage, allowing the crocheter to wrap themselves in seasonal charm. The wrap combines functional warmth with artistic appeal, making it suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.
Construction Technique
The Fall Leaves Wrap uses an innovative construction method where each leaf is crocheted individually as a separate component. Rather than working the entire wrap in one piece, the individual leaves are then joined together using the join-as-you-go single crochet method during the border round. This technique allows for flexibility in assembly and creates clean, integrated seams between leaf sections.
Crochet Stitches and Skills Used
- Chain (ch) ~ the foundation stitch used to begin crochet work
- Slip stitch (sl st) ~ used for joining rounds and creating seamless connections
- Single crochet (sc) ~ the primary joining stitch used in the join-as-you-go border method
- Half double crochet (hdc) ~ used throughout the leaf construction and shaping
Materials and Yarn
The pattern calls for Berroco Remix yarn, which is composed of 100% recycled fibers. The fiber content includes 30% Nylon, 27% Cotton, 24% Acrylic, and 10% additional materials. This eco-conscious yarn choice provides durability and drape suitable for a wearable wrap. The pattern also offers the optional enhancement of adding beads down the veins of the leaves to create sparkle and visual interest for evening wear.
Skill Level and Difficulty
This pattern is rated as intermediate skill level, making it appropriate for crocheters who have mastered basic stitches and are ready to tackle more complex construction methods. The join-as-you-go technique and individual leaf assembly require attention to detail and understanding of how separate components connect, providing a rewarding challenge for developing crocheters.
