Weekend Wrap with Flower in Caron Simply Soft – Crochet Pattern Summary

What You'll Make

This beginner-friendly crochet pattern produces two complementary accessories: a long, elegant Weekend Wrap and a coordinating Flower embellishment. The finished wrap measures approximately 13 inches (33 cm) wide by 67 inches (1.70 m) long, making it a generously sized shawl-style wrap suitable for draping over the shoulders or wearing as a scarf. The detachable or attached flower measures approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter and adds a decorative, handcrafted finishing touch to the piece.

Design Overview

The Weekend Wrap is designed to be a relaxed, wearable accessory that works up relatively quickly thanks to its aran-weight yarn and open stitch pattern. Its long rectangular silhouette makes it versatile for multiple styling options. The Flower is worked separately and can be used as a brooch-style accent pinned to the wrap or worn independently as an accessory.

Techniques and Stitches Used

The pattern makes use of several classic crochet stitches and a structured stitch pattern that creates an attractive, lightly textured fabric with visual rhythm and drape. The stitches used throughout the pattern include:

• Chain (ch) – used for the foundation and turning chains
• Single crochet (sc) – used for edging and detail work
• Half double crochet (hdc) – adds subtle texture and transitions between stitch heights
• Double crochet (dc) – the primary structural stitch used throughout the wrap body
• Treble crochet (tr) – used for taller stitch elements, particularly in the flower construction

The main body of the wrap is worked in the Three and Two Stitch pattern, a two-row repeat worked over a multiple of 6 stitches plus 2. This stitch pattern alternates V-stitches (two double crochets worked into the same stitch or space) with 3-dc clusters to create an open, lacy-style fabric that is lightweight yet structured. The interplay between the V-stitches and three-double-crochet groups gives the wrap its characteristic texture and visual interest without requiring advanced crochet skills.

The foundation row begins in the fifth chain from the hook, immediately establishing the stitch pattern from the very first row. This approach is typical of patterns that use turning chains to substitute for the first stitch, keeping the edges neat and consistent throughout the length of the wrap.

Skill Level and Suitability

This pattern is rated beginner difficulty, making it an excellent project for those who have learned the basic crochet stitches and are ready to work with a simple repeating stitch pattern. The Three and Two Stitch repeat is straightforward once the foundation row is established, and the two-row repeat means the pattern becomes intuitive quickly. The flower is a small, self-contained project that introduces slightly more varied stitch heights, offering a gentle challenge within an approachable overall design.

Materials Required

The pattern calls for Caron Simply Soft yarn, an aran-weight yarn available in 170 g / 6 oz skeins with approximately 288 m / 315 yards per skein. The colorway specified in the pattern is Autumn Red (9730), with 2 skeins required to complete both the wrap and the flower. Gauge is noted as not critical for this project, which gives crocheters flexibility in hook size selection while still achieving a wearable finished measurement. A standard crochet hook appropriate for aran-weight yarn is recommended.
