Introduction
Welcome to Through the Loop Yarn Craft! In this tutorial, we will be making the Blossom Wrap, a beautiful rectangular wrap perfect for the changing seasons. This wrap is made using worsted weight yarn, specifically Karen Cotton Cakes, which is a soft and easy-to-work-with cotton blend. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this wrap is a quick and enjoyable project. So let's gather our supplies and get started!
Supplies needed
Before we begin, let's make sure we have all the necessary supplies for this project. You will need:
- Worsted weight yarn (approximately 625 yards)
- K or 6.5mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
Starting the wrap
To start the wrap, we will be working width-wise, going in shorter rows with a lovely and airy stitch pattern called the Blossom Stitch.

3.1 Chain stitches
Let's begin by creating a chain of 61 stitches. This chain will serve as the foundation for our wrap. However, feel free to adjust the length if you want a longer or shorter wrap.
3.2 Row 1
Now that we have our chain ready, we will start with row 1. Simply single crochet in the second chain from the hook, and continue single crocheting in each chain across. You should have a total of 60 single crochets.
3.3 Row 2
For row 2, chain 1 and turn your work. Skip the first stitch under the chain and work a V-stitch in the next stitch. A V-stitch consists of one double crochet, chain one, and another double crochet in the same stitch. After that, skip the next stitch and single crochet in the following stitch. Repeat this pattern, alternating between V-stitches and single crochets, until the end of the row.
3.4 Row 3
Moving on to row 3, chain 3 and turn your work. Start with a single crochet in the chain space of the V-stitch from the previous row. Then chain 1, do a double crochet in the single crochet from the row below, and chain 1 again. Repeat this pattern across the row.
3.5 Repeating rows 3 and 4
Row 3 marks the first of our two repeating rows. Simply continue repeating rows 3 and 4 until you've reached your desired length. Each repeat will consist of a single crochet in the chain space of the V-stitch, followed by a chain 1, double crochet in the single crochet, and another chain 1. End each row by double crocheting in the top of the turn chain from the row below.
4. Finishing the wrap
Once you've completed the desired number of repeats, it's time to finish off the wrap.
4.1 Final row
For the final row, chain 1 and turn your work. Single crochet in the first chain space, and single crochet in each stitch across the row. This will give you a total of 58 single crochets.
4.2 Adjusting size
If you want to adjust the size of your wrap, you can simply add more or fewer rows during the repeating pattern. This will allow you to customize the length and width to your preference.
