Crochet Granny's Spice Wrap

Materials Needed:

Premier Yarns Spice Shop (or similar bulky, super bulky 6 weight yarn)
Approximately 450-500 yards of yarn
10 mm crochet hook
Wool-free alternative (if needed): Sweet Roll Bold by Premier Yarns or Lion Brand Hometown Yarn
Optional: Stitch marker

Starting the Project:

Begin with a slip knot.

Chain three (ch 3).
In the very first chain, put two double crochets (2 dc) in the same stitch.
Chain three (ch 3), flip your work.
In the space just created, put two additional double crochets (2 dc).

Creating the Wrap Base:

In the next space, make three double crochets (3 dc). This starts the Granny Stitch corner-to-corner.

For row 1, you have one Granny Stitch.
For row 2, you have two Granny Stitches.
Continue in this pattern, increasing the number of Granny Stitches by one for each subsequent row until you have a total of 11 rows with each row increasing by one Granny Stitch block.

Color Changes and Size Customization:

Switch colors as desired to create the stripes and mixtures of colors in your wrap.
If you want the wrap wider than 12 inches, continue increasing on both sides until you reach the desired width before starting the straight section.

Creating the Straight Section:

Decide on one side to stop increasing (you can mark this with a stitch marker if it helps) while continuing to increase on the other side.
On the non-increase side, start then end each row with a single double crochet instead of a Granny Stitch.
Continue this pattern until the wrap reaches the desired length (minus the finishing triangle).

Finishing the Triangle:

Once the desired length is reached, you'll begin to decrease on both sides to close off the wrap and create the finishing triangle.
On the decrease side, you'll begin and end with a double crochet, turning with a chain of three (ch 3) at the end of each row.
In the middle sections, continue putting in granny shells in the spaces between granny stitches.
Each row going forward will decrease by one granny shell until you reach the final point of the triangle.

Finishing Touches:

Once the triangle is closed and you have two sides of consistent granny shells and the base with the initial 11 rows, fasten off and weave in the ends.
Optional additional touches include adding pockets or a fringe.
