With effortless style and just the right amount of detail the Evelyn Wrap is the perfect lacy crochet wrap pattern to add to your wardrobe this year.
With a combination of crochet shell stitches, chain spaces and simple section repeats, you can easily extend the wrap, seam the sides to makes sleeves and a crochet shrug, or wrap it around as a cosy cowl. A really versatile piece to add to your wardrobe and makes a stunning crochet bridal shawl pattern too!
Table of Contents
I really love the simplicity of making a rectangular shawl or wrap but adding a really stunning lacy crochet stitch pattern to transform it into something much more.
I find that the trick is to work a relatively simple stitch repeat – like the crochet shell stitch in this example and then throw something else in at intervals in the project to add more drape, detail and beauty.
The great thing about this design is that you can style this wrap to fit with any outfit. It makes a fabulous year round accessory and with a little extra wrapping or seaming it can transform into a cowl or a shrug depending on what you fancy!
Using a mix of beginner and intermediate crochet stitches to create a beautiful textured open lace, this wrap will be your next favourite project.

Yarn
To make the Evelyn Wrap I used Cotlin by WeCrochet DK Weight, 70% Tanguis Cotton, 30% Linen, 123yds/50g
It’s a category 3, light weight yarn which is what makes this wrap so nice and lightweight. Check our handy yarn weight chart and guide to find out more about yarn weights and categories.
Yarn Substitutes
If you’re looking for a cotton option then I’d go with Paintbox Yarn Simply Cotton DK as it has so many colours to choose from and is at a great price point.
If you are looking for a good merino wool blend, you should check out Gloss DK by WeCrochet. It is 70% Merino wool, 30% Silk 123yds/50g – for something really special.

Before you jump into crocheting your wrap, take a moment to read through the pattern notes—it’s a game-changer!
These handy insights will not only simplify your pattern-reading journey but also ensure a smoother crochet experience. You’ll find helpful tips on deciphering the sizing, customisation and more.
Trust me, a quick peek at these notes will set you up for crochet success!
- A ch1 at the beginning of a row does not count as a stitch.
- A ch4 at the beginning of a row counts as a stitch.
- The wrap is worked in rows.
- Turn at the end of each row.
- If you’d like to transform your wrap into a shrug then just seam either side of the long edges together with a ss seam. I joined mine for 31 rows but you can do as much or as little as you like to suit.
