Loopy Little Wrap

Loopy Little Wrap by Sam Hermes

What is Being Made

The Loopy Little Wrap is a crocheted shawl designed by Sam Hermes of Little Bud Creations. Described as the sister design to the Jagged Little Wrap, this is a quick-to-make wardrobe essential that combines texture and elegance in a wearable accessory piece.

Craft and Primary Technique

This is a crochet project suitable for beginner level crafters. The wrap features decorative loop stitches as its signature design element, creating a distinctive textured appearance that sets it apart from traditional shawl patterns.

Stitches and Techniques Used

The primary stitch featured in this design is the Loop Stitch, which is worked from the wrong side (WS) by wrapping yarn around your index finger and inserting the hook to create dimensional loops. The pattern emphasizes keeping loop stitches consistent in size for a polished finished appearance. A stitch marker is recommended to help track increase stitches throughout the project.

Materials Required

• Yarn: DK weight yarn, 500–650 meters total (yardage may vary depending on loop sizes)
• Specialty Yarn: Mohair or metallic thread for added texture and shimmer (the designer used three balls of Wendy Air)
• Hook: 4.5mm crochet hook (UK size 7, US size 7)
• Notions: Stitch marker, yarn needle, and scissors

Construction Notes

Tension is not critical for this design, though neat and tidy stitches are recommended to prevent the wrap from becoming too loose. Crocheters can adjust hook size up or down based on personal preference, though this may slightly alter the yarn quantities needed. The combination of DK weight yarn with mohair or metallic thread creates a luxurious, lightweight wrap suitable for layering.
