Perfect for cool summer nights around a bonfire, for slow beach walks, or as a year-round fashion statement, the Hohenwerfen wrap is the perfect bit of chunky lace. This wrap is neither a triangle nor a crescent, but inspired by the wings of those seagulls, it gently curves upward toward the ends creating a unique drape that mimics feather fluttering in the wind. Consisting mainly of double crochet and chain, this shawl is fairly easy to construct with a few tricky parts at the end for added flair!

Fashion Potential

Want a shawl perfect for all seasons? Light and airy for the summer, but still makes an amazing statement under a trench coat? You got it right here in the Hohenwerfen Wrap! Intended to be a year ‘round fashion piece, this crochet wrap will have your friends asking, “You MADE that?”

To get that open, lacy look, I paired a lightweight cotton yarn with a thick, 6.5 mm hook. This pairing helped the one skein of yarn (about 335 yards) to go further and create a stunning shawl. You can use really any dk/3 weight yarn - even a wool blend to get a cozier, winter ready look - like Lion Brand’s Mandala!

Materials:

Yarn Bee SugarWheel Cotton 335 yds

(Or any other DK/3 weight cotton)

Hook 6 mm

Yarn Needle to weave in ends

Delicately draping, this pattern calls for one ball of Yarn Bee Sugarwheel cotton - or any other DK/3 weight cotton - I like Lion Brand Comfy Cotton or Bernat Softee Baby Cotton.

Using a 6.5 mm hook will give you the large, open lace work you see in the picture above. If you prefer, you can make it more scarf sized by using a 6 mm hook as well. Of course, I love using the Boye Ergonomic Hooks!

My goal when designing this crochet lace wrap was to use one ball of yarn - no more, no less! I think I came pretty close! Of course, there should be a little leftover - everyone has a different tension, so of course, you may end up with more yarn left than I did.

Notes:

· I chose cotton for a summery feel, but other 3 weight yarns could work—like Lion Brand Mandala, or Mary Maxim Prism.

· I recommend blocking to get a straight edge!.

· The starting chain often counts as a stitch in this pattern. It will be noted each row if the starting chain counts or doesn’t.

· Stitches in (parenthesis) are completed in the same stitch. Stitches between *stars* are repeated.

· Notes in the pattern will be in (italics and parenthesis).

· Even though it isn’t written, you will turn after each row.

· This shawl does not form a strict triangle, but is sort of a crescent/triangle hybrid—so don’t panic if it starts to curl up a little toward the end.

Fasten off. Weave in ends. Blocking will give the shawl a neat edge and crisper points!

You can block your work by getting it wet, then stretching it to the shape you like. Pin it in place - usually on a large towel or several towel laid out on the bed. Let it air dry.
