Product Description
The Fathoms Wrap is a light, breezy layer for the warmer months. It features a tapered rectangular shape with playful tassels on the ends, and is just the right shape to drape lightly on the shoulders. The alternating sections of popcorn stitch mesh and a fun modified double crochet stitch keep the crocheter engaged without having to think too much - the perfect summer project to bring to the beach or a campfire.

Fathoms Wrap by Allison Bostrom
What Is Being Made
The Fathoms Wrap is a crocheted shawl designed by Allison Bostrom of Clair de Lune Fiber Art. This wrap measures 58 x 12 inches (147 x 30 cm), making it an elongated, versatile accessory suitable for draping around the shoulders or wearing as a lightweight wrap. The finished dimensions and construction method create a garment that works well for layering in various seasons.
Craft and Primary Technique
This pattern is worked entirely in crochet, classified as an intermediatelevel project. The design utilizes a specialized stitch technique called sp-dc (special double crochet), which forms the primary structural element throughout the wrap. This technique creates an open, lacy fabric that is characteristic of wrap-style shawlettes.
Stitches and Stitch Techniques Used
- Sp-dc (special double crochet) — the foundational stitch used across the majority of the wrap
- Sp-dc2tog (special double crochet 2 together) — a decrease stitch for shaping
- Dc (double crochet) — standard double crochet stitch used in construction
- Dc2tog (double crochet 2 together) — decrease technique for tailoring fabric
- Sc (single crochet) — single crochet stitch for finishing or edging
- Ch (chain stitch) — foundation chains and turning chains
- CSDC (chainless starting dc) — an alternative method for beginning rows without traditional chain stitches
Yarn and Materials
The Fathoms Wrap is designed for DK weight yarn (weight category 3). The sample shown was crocheted using Hooked on Homemade Happiness hand-dyed superwash merino and nylon blend yarn. The project requires 200–210 grams or 490–510 yards of yarn, making it a relatively quick project suitable for stash-busting or showcasing hand-dyed colorways.
Hook Size and Gauge
This pattern calls for a size I/5.5 mm crochet hook, or whatever size is needed to obtain the correct gauge. The gauge is 14 sp-dc stitches by 6 rows equals 4 inches (10 cm) when measured over the special double crochet stitch pattern. Achieving proper gauge is essential for obtaining the finished dimensions of 58 x 12 inches.
Additional Materials and Notions
- Piece of cardboard for making a tassel (optional finishing detail)
- Tape measure for checking dimensions and gauge
- Scissors for cutting yarn
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
