Cactus Garden Wrap

A southwestern-inspired summer wrap. The overlay mosaic crochet technique adds interesting raised texture to the diamond motifs. Twisted fringe adds boho style with no ends to weave in!

Yarn A creates the raised diamond pattern. You will need 1,096 yards (1,000 meters) of Yarn A.

Yarn B is the background yarn. You will need 822 yards (750 meters) of Yarn B.

Intermediate skill level. Requires chain, single crochet, and double crochet stitches.

The pattern includes a tutorial, a chart, and written row-by-row instructions. This wrap is worked in the overlay mosaic crochet style, inspired by Tinna Thórudóttir Thorvaldsdóttir’s Havana Afghan. Each row is worked in only one color of yarn. Odd rows (Row 1, Row 3, Row 5, etc.) are always worked with Yarn A. These rows include both single and double crochet stitches. These rows form the diamond pattern. Even rows (Row 2, Row 4, Row 6, etc.) are always worked with Yarn B and are single crochet through the back loop only.
