Picking Yarn for a Cozy Wrap
For the Whysper Wrap pattern, the designer used Red Heart It’s A Wrap Rainbow, a lightweight yarn mixing acrylic and cotton. This blend gives you just the right mix of softness, breathability, and durability. Plus, the yarn’s slow color changes create a smooth gradient, adding depth to your shawl.
How to Crochet the Whysper Wrap
If you love lace stitches but don’t want a super complicated project, this crochet wrap project is perfect.
The repeating stitch pattern helps you find a nice rhythm, making it a relaxing and enjoyable crochet. The shell stitches give a delicate, scalloped look that complements the airy feel of the wrap.
You start with a basic foundation chain, then move on to alternating stitches that build the lacy structure. As you go, the yarn’s color changes gradually blend together, giving a seamless transition from one shade to the next.
Final Measurements
Once blocked, the Whysper Shawl measures about 66” wide and 29” deep. This makes it just the right size to drape over your shoulders or wrap around your neck. The lightweight yarn ensures it won’t feel heavy, while the wide span provides enough coverage for a cozy yet stylish look.
