Pineview Wrap

Pineview Wrap by Leah Parker

What Is Being Made

The Pineview Wrap is a crocheted shawl designed by Leah Parker of Leah & Stitch. This finished wrap measures approximately 70 inches (1.8 meters) in length and 13 inches (31 centimeters) in width, making it a versatile accessory suitable for draping across the shoulders or wearing as a lightweight wrap. The design is worked in a flat construction, progressing back and forth in rows to create a rectangular shawl shape.

Crochet Techniques and Construction

The Pineview Wrap is constructed using fundamental crochet techniques appropriate for beginners. The piece is worked flat in rows rather than in the round, allowing for straightforward stitch placement and consistent tension development. The pattern utilizes standard US crochet terminology and instructions, making it accessible to crocheters learning the craft. The row-by-row construction method provides a clear progression from cast-on to completion, with chains at the beginning of each row serving as turning chains rather than counting toward the stitch total.

Stitches Used

The primary stitch employed in this pattern is the double crochet, which forms the foundation of the wrap's structure. Double crochets are combined with chain stitches to create the fabric. The pattern uses standard abbreviations including ch for chain, dc for double crochet, and rep for repeat, allowing crocheters to follow the written instructions efficiently. The gauge is established at 12 double crochets by 4 rows equaling approximately 4 inches (10 centimeters), providing a reference point for achieving proper sizing and fabric drape.

Materials Required

The Pineview Wrap is designed to be worked with Aran weight yarn (also known as weight 4 yarn), requiring approximately 500 yards of yarn total. The pattern specifically suggests Lion Brand Heartland Yarn as the recommended fiber choice. Crocheters will need a K 6.5 mm crochet hook or the appropriate hook size to achieve the specified gauge. Additional materials include a tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends and scissors for cutting yarn. The Aran weight yarn combined with the K hook size creates a fabric with good drape and structure suitable for a wrap garment.
