Flower Rain Wrap
I wanted to design an oversized wrap that had texture and interest, using some of my favourite crochet stitches. I wanted the design to be relatively straight forward, so that I could enjoy the rhythm of the stitches without constantly referring to the pattern, but that also included a little challenge. I used two Scheepjes Whirls in Mid Morning Mocha’roo and, for the edging, a matching Whirlette (Chocolate) on a 3.50mm hook.

Flower Rain Wrap - Pattern Notes
I started with the first whirl, working from the outside. When I reached the end of that whirl, I started the next whirl from the inside, and stopped when I had about 50g of yarn left, which I used to make the border.
Sections of the wrap are repeated across the row. I have called the column of flowers ‘Section A’ and the column of rain ‘Section B’. There is a smaller panel on each side to border the wrap.
I have provided a chart for Section A (the placement of the ‘flowers’), as I find it much easier to follow than the written instructions. The chart is a separate PDF.
The body of the wrap is worked in rows - turn at the end of each row.
The outline of the flower petals is formed with chain stitches. These chains do not count as individual stitches, but simply create a ‘space’ to work into on the next row.
