Product Description
Gillian’s Wrap is a tribute to Jennifer Dassau’s knitted Sundry. After knitting several wraps from that terrific pattern, I was inspired to create a crocheted version.
Gillian's Wrap is crocheted on the bias to form a triangle wrap with wonderful drape and texture. It works well in a variety of yarn weights and amounts. In designing the pattern, Julie Blagojevich tested it in the Findley lace weight yarn and I tested it in the Chesapeake aran weight yarn. Both versions turned out beautifully.
As with the other CrochetWorks patterns, this pattern comes with “recipe” ideas. If you would like to use a heavier or lighter weight of yarn, make the wrap shorter or longer, or use a specific amount of yarn, suggestions for making those adjustments are included. For those of you who want to slip a 1-page print copy into your project bag, there is a handy “Print & Go” page with all of the instructions and none of the photos.
Gillian's Wrap by Gina Lynette
What is Being Made
Gillian's Wrap is a crocheted triangle wrap designed by Gina Lynette of CrochetWorks. This wrap is a tribute to Jennifer Dassau's knitted design Sundry and is crafted to provide wonderful drape and texture. The triangular shape and bias construction make it a versatile accessory suitable for various occasions and styling preferences.
Construction Technique
The wrap is crocheted on the bias, which creates the characteristic triangular shape and contributes to its excellent drape. The bias construction method allows the fabric to stretch and move gracefully when worn. This intermediate-level crochet project works well across a variety of yarn weights and yardage amounts, making it an adaptable design for different fiber choices and desired finished sizes.
Stitches Used
While specific stitch names are not detailed in the pattern excerpt provided, the design creates texture through crochet stitchwork suitable for lace-weight yarn construction. The pattern is designed to showcase the interplay between two contrasting colors, with the stitch pattern contributing to the overall visual interest and drape of the finished wrap.
