The Indigo Sun Wrap

I ordered some Lion Brand Pima Cotton on a whim a couple of months ago. I had no plans on what I wanted to make but I couldn’t say no to these colors. After picking out 4 favorites for my color palette I knew I would end up doing something with stripes. And that’s how the Indigo Sun Wrap was born!

The Indigo Sun Wrap was so relaxing and fun to make. All you need to do is crochet 2 rectangles and make one short seam to join them together! The pattern uses moss stitch. Moss stitch is one of my absolute favorites! This one is not worked in a way you are probably used to though. It’s actually worked up corner to corner instead of horizontal!

Im a huge fan of all things corner 2 corner. So when I found out you could make the moss stitch corner 2 corner I knew I had to design something with it! You can check out a couple of  my previous normal C2C designs here and here.

I also made a full video tutorial on the Indigo Sun Wrap as well! If you want a visual on how to make the moss c2c then this video will be perfect for you! View it here or scroll down to check it out!

Description:

If you love the moss stitch then this pattern is for you! Learn a new way to use this stitch by working it corner to corner. The gorgeous striping and bold colors make this wrap a statement piece.

Pattern Notes:

  • You will be making the same panel TWICE and then seaming both panels together to join.

  • Panels are worked corner to corner.

  • Once you get the hang of this stitch its very easy and repetitive and you might not need to look at the pattern for every row. I recommend referring to the “Color Sequence At A Glance” section to be sure you are doing the correct colors for each row.

  • You will increase by 1 Sc St with each row until you reach the first corner.  Your stitch count will stay the same until you reach the second corner. After you reach the second corner you will decrease by 1 Sc St until you tie off.

  • It’s helpful to leave the tails of yarn on rows 1-50 of the short side of ONE panel a bit longer so you can use it to sew the panels together.

Tie off, and move to “join together” section.

 

Join Together:

Lay both panels together, lining up the short side of rows 1-50 evenly. Using a yarn needle, mattress stitch rows 1-50 together. I recommend using the same color yarn as the stripe you are sewing together to minimize the seam. If you left a tail of yarn long enough to sew use that to minimize ends to weave in. If not, just sew with a new piece of yarn. Be sure to view my video tutorial linked above to see how to seam together.

Weave in all ends.
