Here is the free crochet pattern for my Touch of Velvet wrap. It’s an elegant design that is finished with a playful beaded edge. I must say that I am really happy with this design and it’s surprisingly warm with the Color Crafter Velvet yarn.

Materials

You will need the following materials to make the Touch of Velvet Wrap

• 3 x Scheepjes Color Crafter Velvet – Kelly (841) – BLACK
• 1 x Scheepjes Color Crafter Velvet – Bogart (847) – DARK RED
• 105 x 8mm black wooden or glass beads
• 4mm crochet hook
• needle to tread the beads on your yarn

Scheepjes Colour Crafter Velvet is no longer available. A good replacement yarn in Scheepjes Colour Crafter in similar colors.

Scheepjes Colour Crafter is available in over 90 colors from Wool Warehouse (UK/Int), Jimmy Beans Wools (USA), The Knitting Network, Caro’s Atelier (NL/EU) or your local Scheepjes stockist.

Gauge and size

Gauge is not essential for this project and it’s not needed to make a gauge swatch. If your gauge is similar to mine your final wrap will be approximately 200cm wide and 90cm high.

Row 5 – 52 Repeat row 4 where you increase the number of repeats along the edges of the triangle. Cut your yarn, cast off and work away your yarn tails. At this point you will have a large triangle and it will look something like this.

Edge

Work the edge using Scheepjes Color Crafter Velvet – Bogart (847) RED and a 4mm hook. First work rows 1 to 5 and fasten off. Thread the beads on your yarn and then work the final row of the wrap.

Row 1 With a slip knot on your hook, start with a standing sc in the first dc. *1sc in next ch1-space, ch5, skip the next 3dc. * Repeat * to * till the ch3-space. (1sc, ch5, 1sc) in the ch3-space to form the tip of the wrap. *ch5, skip the next 3dc and work 1sc in the next ch1-space. * Repeat * to * till the last ch1-space. 1sc on the last dc. Turn your work.

Repeat * to * till there are three ch5-spaces left. 1sc in next ch5-space, 8dc in next ch5-space, 1sc in last ch5-space. Ch2, skip next sc, 1dc on last sc. Turn your work.

Row 3 Ch1 (does not count as a st), 1sc in same st, skip the ch2-space and the next sc. * (1dc on next dc, 1 picot) 7 times, 1dc on last dc, skip next sc, 1sc in next ch5-space, skip next sc. * Repeat * to * till the tip of the wrap. (1dc on next dc, 1 picot) 11 times, 1dc on last dc, skip next sc, 1sc in next ch5-space, skip next sc. Repeat * to * till the last ch5-space, (1dc on next dc, 1 picot) 7 times, 1dc on last dc.

Row 4 Ch8 (counts as 1dc and ch5), * 1sc on 3rd picot, ch5, 1sc on 5th picot, ch5, 1dc in next sc, ch5. * Repeat * to * till the tip of the wrap. 1sc on 3rd picot, ch5, 1sc on 5th picot, ch5, 1sc on 7th picot, ch5, 1sc on 9th picot, ch5, 1dc on next sc, ch5.

Row 6 With a needle thread 105 beads on your yarn. Push the beads that you don’t need forward on your yarn as you work bringing 1 bead at a time to your hook as needed. In the beginning it will be difficult to push the beads forward as you will have 100+ beads on your yarn, but as you work in the beads it becomes easier to move them forward. Don’t try to push 100 beads forward at once, but make batches of 10 to 20 beads at a time. Note that the SDC are worked in such a way that they share the ch5-spaces.

Work a Standing SDC over the first and second ch5-spaces of row 4. *Ch3, bring 1 bead to your hook and ch1 over the bead securing it in place, ch3, SDC in the same ch5-space where you finished the previous SDC and the next ch5-space. * Repeat * to * till the end of the wrap. Cut your yarn and work away all yarn tails.

For best results, block your work.
