'I love you so much' wrap

I Love You So Much Wrap by Arunima Goel

Project Overview

The I Love You So Much wrap is a crocheted shawl designed by independent designer Arunima Goel. This beginner-friendly project celebrates love and connection through a colorful, motif-based design. Inspired by the designer's experience of parenthood and the boundless love shared with her child, this wrap features 400 individual hugs and kisses motifs arranged throughout the piece. While originally designed for Valentine's Day, the wrap's universal theme of love makes it suitable for gifting or personal use any time of the year.

What You Will Make

This wrap is a large, wearable crocheted accessory with generous dimensions of approximately 80 inches in length and 19 inches in width (200 cm × 50 cm). The finished piece is substantial enough to drape comfortably as a wrap, shawl, or throw, making it both a functional garment and a meaningful handmade gift.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

The wrap is constructed using motif-based crochet techniques. The design relies on repeating hugs and kisses motifs—a classic crochet element—that are worked individually and then assembled to create the complete wrap. This modular approach is ideal for beginners, as it breaks down the project into manageable, repetitive sections. The motif-based construction allows crafters to work at their own pace and see progress with each completed unit.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Scheepjes Colour Pack Stone Washed in River Washed colorway, or any sport weight yarn in 50 colors. Each color requires 0.35 oz (10g) or 28 yards (26 meters).
• Hook: 3.5 mm (Size E) crochet hook
• Notions: Scissors and a tapestry needle for weaving in yarn tails

Yarn Weight and Difficulty

This project uses sport weight yarn, which creates a lightweight, drapey fabric perfect for a wrap. The beginner difficulty level makes this an excellent choice for newer crocheters or those looking to expand their skills. The straightforward motif-based construction requires no complex stitch combinations or advanced techniques, allowing beginners to focus on fundamental crochet skills while creating a beautiful, colorful finished piece.

Design Notes

Gauge is not critical for this project, giving crafters flexibility in their tension and approach. The use of 50 different colors in sport weight yarn creates a vibrant, multicolored effect that celebrates the diversity and richness of love in all its forms. The wrap's generous dimensions and the repetition of 400 motifs make it a substantial handmade creation that showcases both patience and craftsmanship.
