I had so much fun making this wrap this weekend! It's just right for in-between weather. The yarn is warm, but the mesh is cool, and the "wings" in the stitches remind me of birds migrating for the seasons. Here's the free crochet pattern for the Winged Wrap!

A Comfortable Comfort Shawl
Remember when you were a kid, and you drew birds flying like very tired Vs? I know I wasn't the only one! The subtle rows of wings in the Winged Wrap are like a flock of these birds hugging your shoulders, wrapping around your neck, or adding a splash of color to your next outfit! The Winged Wrap makes a wonderful layer, a fantastic gift, and a perfect comfort shawl.

Any chance this pattern could be converted to knitting for a similar wrap? It's beautiful but I'm not a crocheter!
Tamara Kelly says
Hm, that might be a bit beyond my knitting knowledge I'm afraid. Perhaps?
Patricia Laidler says
Would you consider a chart for this pattern?
Tamara Kelly says
I'll add it to my to do list! 😀
Tamara Kelly says
And it's up! 😀
Patricia Laidler says
Thank you!
Marian Osborn says
I don't under stand row5
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Marian! I just put up a chart, maybe that will help?
Anne says
I just started my winged wrap last night. I'm hoping you might add one of your awesome videos because I'm getting stuck on row 5 too! 🙁 I'll have to check out the chart more closely though. Maybe I can figure it out that way! Your final product is gorgeous! Thanks for another beautiful crochet pattern!
Tamara Kelly says
I am planning to make a video for release later this month. 🙂
Anne says
Never mind!! I had some time to study the chart, and I got this beautiful pattern figured out. It was my own stitch count mistakes in the previous row that was making the worded pattern hard to work for me. This is so much fun to make! Thanks again.
Tamara Kelly says
Oh well good! 😀 I'm so glad it helped!
Donna says
Thank you so much for this pattern. This is one of if not the prettiest crochet shawl patterns I have seen! I love it so much. I'm extatic that I finally just finished mine. It's gorgeous! I only had 4 rows to finish for.. I won't say how long as it's shameful. I'm worried about going around the edge with single crochet because in my head I'm thinking I won't like the look of a contrasting color. But I'm not seeing that in your photos so maybe I'm concerned for no reason. I don't want to chop up my ball of yarn just to match the color as I go around. So I'm curious do these photos have the single crochet around? Thank you!
Tamara Kelly says
Thank you so much, Donna! ♥ Yes, the single crochet border is shown in the photos. If you look closely along the sides of the rows, you can see how it's not the same color - but it all seems to blend well! I'm so glad you like it!
DeDe lawlor says
Hi, I'm struggling with Row 5. Not understanding the wording ~ dc in next dc previous row ] 4 times. What am to do ; times?? Help I'm trying to make this for my husband's 91 yr old aunt. Please help, DeDe
Tamara Kelly says
Hi DeDe! In Row 5 you are mostly working into the dc sts from Row 3 - the exception being the sc sts from Row 4. If you look at the chart at the bottom of the post above, you can see that the black Row 5 sts are worked into the black Row 3 sts and the green Row 4 sc sts. Does that help? I do hope to have a video tutorial up at the end of this month as well.
Roberta Wright says
I have tried to work through this pattern several times and I keep getting stuck on Row 5 as well. I ripped out and started from Row 4 again twice, and even though you have a stitch pattern I must be missing something..............I have these loops on the back when I am working on Row 5 and it just doesn't seem right!
I would love a demo and hope to see it. I purchased some really nice merino/silk yarn and spent quite a bit!
Thanks,
Roberta
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Roberta! I should have the video up on the 30th of this month!
Anne says
When SC around the edge should I put a SC in each DC and in each ch 1 space across the row? Thanks!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Anne! Yes, that usually works best. 🙂
Barbara Bomba says
Thank you so much for this pattern! I hunted high and low to find one that "grabbed" me and yours most certainly did! As a bird lover I thought it was so cool of you to admit about making the "V"s as a child. I can't wait to get started on this. Again, thanks.
Tamara Kelly says
♥ Thank you so much Barbara! I hope you enjoy making it!
Martina Thomas says
Beautiful Shawl. I completed it yesterday. My only frustration is I was nearly 9 inches off on a 60" inch width 🙁
Jesica says
Hi! Thanks for the pattern...I am a beginner but I'll give it a try. Greetings from Argentina to you!
Tamara Kelly says
Greetings! I hope you enjoy it! 😀
Barbara says
This wrap has been on my to-do list for a while and I just completed it using merino wool in a purple heather color. It is lovely! I’m wondering how to block it, as this is my first project with wool. I have used, and loved, your blog for the past five years, since I started crocheting. Thank you for the helpful tutorials and many beautiful patterns. I wore your angled scarf today. Keep the patterns and tutorials coming, and know that a friend is Kansas is very grateful!
Tamara Kelly says
Thank you so much Barbara! ♥ Have a wonderful week!
Sarah says
Hi,
Any thoughts on yarn substitutions as the one called for has been discontinued?
I looked at the yarn sub website but, you guessed it, the suggested substitution is also discontinued!
Thanks!
Tamara Kelly says
So frustrating when that happens! The closest I can find is https://www.wollstudio.com/products/de/Austermann/Playa-Organic-Cotton-Austermann.html - but I have never seen it in person. Since it's a shawl and not a fitted garment, I would just try whatever worsted or DK weight yarn strikes your fancy and use the "change the length" info above to adjust the starting stitch count if needed. 🙂
