Strisce Easy Crochet Ruffle Edge Wrap Pattern

Sharing is caring!

The Strisce (stree-shay) Wrap is a stunning combination of texture with post stitches, ruffles and stripes. The easy crochet ruffle edge on this wrap really makes a statement.

This crochet shawl can be styled as a shrug with large open arms, as see here. I love how this really showcases those ruffles.

This rectangle wrap pattern includes a step by step photo tutorial. Plus, I link up stitch videos as well!

The Stitch

Have I mentioned how I love the front post stitch? It’s one of my favorites. The texture it creates is so visually appealing.

The front post double crochet is also a pretty stretchy stitch, so it worked perfectly in this wrap.

The Size

The open airy pattern is perfect for a spring or summer shawl. I made mine on the smaller size because I’m only 5′ 2″ on a good day. The pattern includes 4 different length options, so you can choose your perfect size.

The pattern repeat is quickly established and you’ll be able to watch tv or listen to your book while crocheting away.

These are my favorite projects as my crochet time is most often in the evening or while watching kids play. I don’t always have the wherewithal to pay close attention to stitch counts and the what not.

The Design

As with many of my designs, I buy the yarn in pretty colors first and mull over what they might become.

I knew I wanted to make a wrap and so I grabbed the purple and mint colors and started planning. After a few swatches I added the grey to help balance it out.

I really like the control I have over my colors by choosing this way, but some of my lovely testers used the most gorgeous self striping yarns-which is also so much easier!

With the ruffle edging though, there are few ends to weave in if you choose your own colors. I can’t wait to see your combinations!

I sewed the corners of my wrap together to form large, open “sleeves” and I love how the ruffles fall. There are more details on this and other ideas for how to style your wrap at the end of the pattern.

Dimensions

The wrap in these pictures has a finished size is 34″ wide by 47″ long with the ruffle. It stretches quite easily to 39″ wide by 60″ long. See chart below for recommended lengths.

Fit/Adjustments

For reference the 47″ wrap is pictured on a 5′ 2″ tall, size 36″ bust woman.

To make a longer wrap, choose one of the suggested lengths in the chart below. Or to customize the length, the stitch multiple is 3 plus 4 for the starting chain. For example 198, divides by 3 into 66, then + 4 = 202, so you would chain 202 for a wrap that is ~ 58″ long.

47 ” long160826
60″ long2141061
76″ long2711344
85″ long3011503

To adjust the width of your wrap, just add more rows of the repeat until you’ve reached the desired width. Please note the above suggested yarn yardage is for 34″ width only, you’ll need more yarn than recommended if adjusting width also.

Materials

  • 900-1600 yds of worsted weight #4 yarn, pictured in Caron One Pound Yarn*, (100% acrylic, 454g / 16 oz, 742 meters / 812 yards); divided in 3 colors: Purple (Color A), Soft Mint (Color B) and Grey (Color C).
  • 6.5mm hook*
  • Yarn needle
  • Measuring tape
  • Scissors

You will need the most yarn for the color you choose for your ruffle edge, I used less than half the one pound skein for the other two colors.

Gauge

4″ x 4″ = 14 dc x 6 rows

Notes

  1. Ch 3 counts as a stitch, I highly recommend using a ch 3 alternative, here’s my favorite.
  2. Pattern is written with the smallest size first, followed by larger sizes in the parenthesis.
  3. All stitch counts are in parenthesis after the instructions, in the same order.

To change colors

  1. On the last stitch of the color begin the stitch normally, but pull up the last loop in the new color.
  2. No need to weave in the ends, as you will crochet over the edges when adding the ruffle.

Finishing Options

To make this into a cocoon sweater, sew armholes first, then add the ruffle edging. You can see the tutorial on how to sew armholes for a cocoon sweater in the Toddler Crochet Cocoon Shrug Pattern.

Ruffle Edging

Worked in the round.

  1. Join Color A with sl st to bottom left corner when the right side is facing you. SC evenly around the 3 edges (your foundation row will already be in sc). Place 2 sc per dc/ch 3. Place 3 sc in each corner. Join with a sl st to foundation sc row (color a) at opposite corner.
  2. Ch 3, dc in same st, dc in next st, *{2dc in next stitch, dc in next st} rep from * around, join with a sl st to top of ch 3.
  3. Ch 3, dc in same, dc in each of next two sts, *{2dc in next st, dc in the next st, dc in next st} repeat from * around, sl st to top of the ch 3.

Cut yarn and Weave in ends.

Styling

As is, your wrap can be used with a shawl pin or loose, as shown in the picture. Or you can add a button, if desired to close in the front.

It’s a suitable size for a small lap blanket, if you keep the pattern going you could make it more blanket size as well.

This is what I did with mine and I really like the way the ruffles fall-Fold wrap in half lengthwise, matching corners. With a yarn needle and length of matching yarn sew the corners together at the first round of the edging.

I hope you love your wrap as much as I love mine!

Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

  1. Ive been looking everywhere for a light and simple shawl pattern to use for my new Lion Brand mandala yarn and oh boy this is neat! I love the front post stitches, and the ruffle with the way you created a sleeve is super extra special as a Finishing Touch!

    I also have Caron big cakes yarn and am buying a bunch of the Caron one pound tonight. I’m going to have a hard time choosing the lucky yarn that gets to become this gorgeous wrap.!

    thank you so much!6
