Summer Citrus Wrap

What is Being Made

The Summer Citrus Wrap is a crocheted scarves and shawls project designed by Michelle R. Tharpes of 2Bossayknits.com. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a finished accessory piece suitable for warm-weather wear, featuring a vibrant color palette inspired by citrus tones.

Craft and Technique Overview

This is an intermediate-level crochet project that combines multiple yarn colors and textures to achieve its finished design. The pattern uses a combination of different yarn weights and types to create visual interest and dimension in the final wrap.

Stitches Used

• Chain (CH) - foundational stitch for creating the base of the project
• Single Crochet (SC) - basic stitch used throughout the pattern for structure and density
• Back Loop Single Crochet (BLSC) - variation that creates textured ridges by working through only the back loop
• Double Crochet (DC) - taller stitch used to create lighter, more open sections
• Round (RD) - circular construction method for shaping the wrap

Materials Required

The Summer Citrus Wrap requires worsted-weight yarn in two coordinating colors. The pattern calls for 6 skeins of Chroma Twist yarn in go go boots (totaling 1,308 yards) as the primary color, combined with 2 skeins of Brava yarn in avocado (totaling 436 yards) for accent color work. Crafters will also need a size H crochet hook to work with these yarns at the appropriate gauge.

Additional tools and supplies include scissors, a yarn needle for weaving in ends, measuring tape for checking dimensions, row counter for tracking progress, and stitch markers for keeping track of pattern repeats and shaping points throughout the project.
