I have recently found 2 new loves: a vintage shell stitch, and Red Heart’s It’s a Wrap Rainbow yarn. I mix the two together to come up with this fabulous rectangular wrap. It just makes me so happy. The wrap is nice and long so you can style it a multitude of ways. You could also make one half as long by just using one skein of yarn and stopping before the second is added on. Either way, you will be the height of style!
The yarn used in this pattern was provided by Red Heart.

I love the colors
In the vintage shells wrap, row 2, does this mean the chain 3 is the first dc of the (dc,ch2,dc) or does it stand alone?
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc here and throughout), (dc, ch 2, dc)
It stands alone. The row starts and ends with a stand alone dc.
If I want to make this wrap shorter, what would be the multiple to use for this particular pattern.
I’m pretty sure it’s 10.
How do i get 3 chain left at the end of row 1? I have 5 left. Thanks xx
A starting chain of 98 is the only way it works. You work in every 5th stitch of the chain till the last 3 chain. The pattern repeat would be 10 + 8 yeah? This keeps it the same at the start and end of the row.
Please let me know if I have it wrong xx
As long as you got all the sts in, i wouldn’t worry about it, just pick out the last 2.
What color actually is this yard you’ve used in the photo? Red Heart Rainbow comes in many different colors
Oops, did a typo! I meant “yarn” not yard, which I’m sure you figured out. Sorry!
