Crochet a cozy plaid shawl with this relaxing tapestry crochet pattern! The Shadow Plaid Wrap combines granny stitch texture, rhythmic color changes, and a soft, reversible fabric with beautiful drape you’ll love to wear. It’s the perfect project for mindful makers who enjoy soothing, repetitive stitches and elegant, wearable results.

HOW THIS WRAP IS MADE
Construction: This trapezoidal wrap is worked lengthwise from the bottom up with increases at the beginning and end of each row.

Stitch pattern: A variation of granny stitch, you’ll work (ch 1, 2 dc) in each chain-1 space between 2-dc groups.

Colorwork: Tapestry crochet is used to create the vertical stripe pattern. You’ll change colors after every 2-dc group.

Working into chain spaces like this gives the fabric a lovely, soft drape — perfect for large accessories like this wrap. And best of all, the fabric is completely reversible. Whether worn around the neck or around the shoulders, this wrap is a lot of fun to style and wear!
