I’m so thrilled to be releasing the free pattern for the Vista Wrap as part of the CAL (crochet-along) I’m hosting with Lion Brand laster this month. If you’ve been following along on social media or via my newsletter, chances are you’ve already seen the sneak peeks of this beauty along with the knit Landscape Wrap! Kits in our collab yarn, Color Theory, have been on sale for a few days now so some of you may have already scored the pattern early if you purchased one, but now everyone has access here on the blog! Scroll down for the free pattern, purchase a printer-friendly PDF of the pattern here, or purchase the kit with all the yarn you’ll need plus a PDF of the pattern here.

When I set out to design this wrap (and the knit Landscape Wrap), I wanted to create something that was as universally loved as possible and something that could be customized and personalized to represent something special for the maker or the receiver in the case of a gift. To do this, I took inspiration from some of my most popular designs, all triangle wraps, and added details from them to ensure this new project had all of the best bits. I focused on simplicity so the projects would be on the easy side and more people could join in on the CAL. And lastly, because I knew color would play a major role in personalization, I dreamed up 15 different themes and created special mood boards for each to really give a feeling to each one. Places, locations, views - they often hold so many memories and emotions and I figured that was the best way to go about choosing colors for this piece.

If you’re a fan of this design and curious to check out the other triangle wraps that inspired it, here are some good ones with which to start:

I took stitch inspo from the Tea House Wrap (one of my all-time best sellers) and the Resonance Wrap and stripe progression inspo from the Shadowplay Wrap, which is a knitting pattern.

Because the Vista Wrap is worked up in Color Theory, a smooth all-season yarn, the finished piece is a lightweight, squishy, drapey dream with butter soft fabric that is also machine washable and dryable! This yarn glides off the hook and is so enjoyable to work with. It also has the most perfect palette of 18 colors that were carefully curated to work together. When selecting the colors for this yarn, I chose colors for different seasons and made sure there was plenty of contrast and a beautiful selection of neutrals (there are six!) so that combining colors would be a breeze. The palette couldn’t be better for this project!

As I mentioned I put together 15 different themes for the KAL/CAL, and because both the Vista Wrap and the knit Landscape Wrap each use only 1 skein of 5 colors, you can choose any of the themes regardless of which craft you choose. You can check out all 15 themes and learn how to put together your own combo if you want to go rogue here. For my Vista Wrap, I went with the Woodland Retreat theme. This scene most closely represents that of our house upstate so it felt very comforting and cozy to me!

After I chose the colors for each theme, I took time to put them into a specific order as well (the progression). Did you know that with five colors, there are literally 120 different ways to arrange them!? MIND. BLOWN. Depending on the progression you choose, you can really get a totally different look even with the same five colors. All of the themes include the progression I think looks more visually appealing, but of course this whole project is meant to be personalized so it’s really up to you how you want to arrange them!

This is an easy level crochet pattern, and the techniques involved are magic loop, half double crochet, puff stitches, slip stitches, working into chain spaces, changing colors in stripes, and tapestry crochet. Once again, video tutorials will be added to this post throughout the course of the CAL so make sure to check back!

STITCH EXPLANATION

MP (mini puff) – Yarn over, insert hook in next st, yarn over and draw through a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over, insert hook in same st, yarn over and draw through a loop (5 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through all loops on hook.

Note: Wrap is worked flat from the top down, increasing 4 sts on every row. Turn at the end of each row. Pattern is composed of sections of half double crochet and single row textured stripes. Use tapestry crochet to carry the alternate color when working the first textured stripe in a new color to avoid weaving in extra ends. To do so, lay the unused color on top of the previous row and work over it with the current color. To change color, work the final yarn over of the last stitch of the previous row in the new color.

With color A, begin with a magic loop.

Block work. Secure and weave in all ends.

Tassels:

Cut ninety 10”/25cm lengths and three 18”/46cm lengths of color A and three 18”/46cm lengths of color B. Divide the 10”/25cm lengths into three groups of 30. Tie each bundle at the middle point with one of the 18”/46cm lengths of color A. Fold each bundle in half so that the tie is at the tip of the loop created with the fold.

Tie crosswise around each folded bundle about 1⁄2”/1.25cm below top of fold with remaining 18”/46cm lengths of color B. Wrap the tails of the ties around and around the bundles and then thread them inside and down the middle of the bundles with a tapestry needle. Tie the tops of the tassels onto the 3 corners of the wrap and knot to secure. Thread the tails inside and down the middle of the tassels using a tapestry needle. Trim tassels to desired length.
