Product Description
One of the most beautiful garter stitch designs on Ravelry is Color Affection by Veera Valimaki. I have admired it for a long while, and I wanted to make a crocheted wrap inspired by Veera's design. So, here is Stephanie's Wrap.
The wrap incorporates a lot of striping and short rows. It is 82 inches in length (208cm) by 16 inches at the widest point (40.6cm) after blocking. The stitch used throughout the design is the US single crochet.
I used Madelinetosh Tosh Lace to make Stephanie's Wrap, and each hank has 950 yds (868m). Three colors were used, and I have done my best to estimate the yardage needed for each color. MC (800 yds), CC1 (500 yds), CC2 (600 yds)

What Is Being Made
Stephanie's Wrap is a crocheted scarf or shawl designed by Julie Blagojevich, inspired by Color Affection by Veera Valimaki. This is a long, narrow wrap measuring 82 inches in length and 16 inches at its widest point when blocked. The design features color work with three distinct yarn colors creating visual interest throughout the piece.
Craft and Primary Technique
This project is created using the crochet craft. The wrap employs an intermediate difficulty level, making it suitable for crocheters with some experience beyond basic techniques. The design incorporates strategic color changes and short-row shaping to create dimension and drape in the finished garment.
Stitches and Techniques Used
The primary stitches featured in Stephanie's Wrap include:
- Single crochet (sc) – the foundation stitch used throughout the project
- Chain stitch (ch) – used for foundation and transitions between rows
- Slip stitch (sl st) – employed for joining and finishing techniques
- Eyelet stitch – a decorative element created by dropping down a number of rows and crocheting after working short rows, resulting in small holes that add visual texture
The pattern incorporates short-row shaping to create the wrap's contoured silhouette and strategic color changes worked throughout. When changing colors, the final yarn over and pull through of each stitch is worked with the new color, then the next row is chained up and worked entirely in the new color.
