Gauge:
16 sts to 4”/10cm in double crochet using size J/6mm hook.
Work up a small piece in double crochet and do not cut yarn (you can unravel this piece to sue in the wrap). Put a saftely pin through the final, open stitch.
Hand wash the piece in the sink, then lay it flat to dry. If the piece is not too tight, not too loose, you will be fine. If it’s a little loose, that’s all right. The yarn is crocheted looser than normal, then hand-washed to achieve a desired drape.
Notes:
This wrap begins at center top of the triangle which corresponds to the neck edge. The colors are used in the order listed, beginning with #60 and continuing through #54.
Colors begin with a dark color, then alternate with a bright color, ending with a bright color.
Work through each ball of color until it’s done. Join new yarn even if in the middle of a row.
