Geometry Wrap in Lion Brand Color Theory

What is Being Made

The Geometry Wrap is a crocheted shawl designed by Two of Wands (Pattern No. M22073). This wrap measures 72 inches in length and 18 inches in width, making it a versatile accessory suitable for layering or draping. The finished piece is constructed from four granny squares that are seamed together to create the final rectangular wrap design.

Construction Technique

The Geometry Wrap is worked using a modular construction method. Each of the four granny squares is crocheted in joined, turned rounds, with the squares increasing by 4 double crochet clusters per round—one cluster added to each side. This systematic increase creates the characteristic geometric expansion of traditional granny square patterns. Once all four squares are completed, they are seamed together to form the finished wrap. This technique allows crafters to work on manageable sections before assembling them into the complete garment.

Stitches and Stitch Techniques

The primary stitch used throughout the Geometry Wrap is the double crochet cluster, which forms the foundational texture and visual interest of the design. Double crochet clusters are separated by chain spaces, creating an open, lacy construction that is characteristic of granny square patterns. Additional stitches used include:

• Chain stitch (ch) – used to create the foundation and chain spaces between clusters
• Double crochet (dc) – the primary stitch component within the clusters
• Slip stitch (sl st) – used to join rounds and connect sections

The gauge for this pattern is 4 three-double-crochet clusters by 8 rows, measuring 4 inches by 4 inches when worked in granny stitch.

Color Work and Design

The Geometry Wrap features a three-color design using Lion Brand Color Theory yarn. The main color is Admiral (619-110BJ), which forms the primary body of the wrap. Two contrast colors are introduced: Bee Pollen (619-158AI) and Moonbeam (619-099V), which are used strategically to create geometric visual interest and color blocking throughout the piece. This multi-color approach adds depth and dimension to the granny square construction.

Materials and Yarn

The Geometry Wrap requires 4 skeins of Lion Brand Color Theory in the main color (Admiral) and 1 skein each of the two contrast colors (Bee Pollen and Moonbeam). Lion Brand Color Theory is a worsted-weight yarn (weight 4), with each skein containing 246 yards or 225 meters. This yardage provides ample material for the 72-inch length and 18-inch width of the finished wrap.

Tools and Notions

To complete the Geometry Wrap, crafters will need a US H/8 (5mm) crochet hook and a tapestry needle for seaming the four granny squares together and weaving in yarn ends.

Skill Level

The Geometry Wrap is rated as a Level 2 Easy pattern, making it suitable for beginner to early-intermediate crocheters. The straightforward granny square construction and repetitive stitch pattern make this an ideal project for those developing fundamental crochet skills while creating a finished accessory with visual impact.
