Tunis Wrap

Tunisian crochet - the knitter's crochet!  This wrap is the Tunisian Resolution scarf pattern by Cathy Johnson of Cat's Tale.  You can find the original pattern here.  Here are my adaptations to convert the lovely scarf into a dazzling wrap.

You'll need:

- Size L crochet hook with extended cable

- 3 skeins Cleo by Plymouth Yarn, 100% mercerized cotton  (or 375 yards DK weight yarn of equivalent fiber)

Adapting the Measurements

- Gauge: 3 pattern repeats = 3.5"

- You will make 10 pattern repeats.  Therefore, chain 43 to begin (10 x 4 + 1 + 2).

- Finished measurements: 45" long, 11.5" wide

- Once you've reached 45", bring edges together with a twist.  (turn one end upside down)  Seam together with a backstitch seam.  (See tutorial here.)

You can also double this around your neck for a full and gorgeous cowl.
