Meadowland Shoulder Wrap CAL Part One

November 9, 2017 By Same DiNamics Crochet 8 Comments

Welcome to Part One of the Meadowland Shoulder Wrap Crochet-Along! This CAL is November’s (and our last of the year) crochet-along. I’m very excited to have you join me along on this journey! In Part One, you will find all the supplies and gauge information that you’ll need to crochet your very own Meadowland Shoulder Wrap.

This project is considered an intermediate project but with diligence and practice, if you want to venture into something a bit more challenging, you can do it! The stitch is repetitive enough that once you get the hang of it, you’ll be speed crocheting this project. The edging is worked simply and effortlessly. This project will need to be blocked, so keep that in mind.

Stitch Abbreviation

Special Stitches
Foundation Double Crochet (Fdc): Chain 3 (I do not count this as a stitch), yo and insert hook into 2nd chain from hook and pull up loop (3 loops on hook), *yo and pull through 1 loop creating a chain st, (this is an important step but easy to forget). YO again and pull through first two loops on hook (two loops remaining). YO again and pull through last two loops on hook. This completes one Fdc. To stitch the next fdc, yarn over and insert the hook into the chain made in the 2nd fdc and repeat from *. See Cre8tion Crochet tutorial here.

Beginning dc cluster (Beg dc cl): After initial ch3 at the beginning of the row, [yo, insert hook into same st/sp, pull up yarn, yo, pull through 2 loops] 2x, yo, pull yarn through all 3 loops.

Double Crochet Cluster (Dc-cl): [yo, insert hook into st/sp and pull up yarn, yo, pull yarn through 2 loops] 3x, yo, pull yarn through 4 loops.

Double Crochet Cluster Shell (Dc-cl shell): [dc-cl, ch1, dc-cl] in specified st/sp

Double Crochet Cluster Shell Increase (Dc-cl shell inc): dc-cl, ch1, dc-cl, ch1, dc-cl in the same st/sp.

Petite shell: sc, ch1, sc in the same st/sp

Experience Level
Intermediate

Pattern Notes

  • Ch3 counts as a stitch.
  • Ch2 does not count as a stitch.
  • Stitch count at the end of each row will be shown as ‘dc-cl shells’ which includes beg dc-cl, dc-cl shell, and dc-cl shell inc.
  • Unless otherwise indicated, place last dc-cl shell or dc-cl shell inc in the last st/sp of row.
  • Place your petite shells in the ch-1 sp of the dc-cl shells in the row below.
  • The beg-cl side of the piece will be a straight edge. The dc-cl shell side will start angling outwards to show an increase.
  • Both panels will be joined together, at the top only, with straight edges lined up to create a neck opening.
  • You can make your neck opening bigger or smaller; just adjust the stitch markers to your liking.
  • There is no right or wrong side to the pattern since both panels are made exactly the same.

That’s it! That’s all the information you’ll need to get ready to start your Meadowland Shoulder Wrap next week, November 16!

    Can you possibly recommend other yarns that would be comparable to the one your pattern names? I would love to participate in the CAL but cannot possibly afford yarn that costs so much. I am sure it is beautiful and understand why it is so expensive just out of my budget.

    Hi! You’ll need a #2, fingering weight yarn. I found these options that are more affordable and may be available locally to you. Premier Cotton Fair is listed as a #2 yarn. I’ve worked with it before and it’s lovely and lightweight. I know Joann’s sells it. (The link says it’s available online only but I know I’ve bought this yarn at my local Joann’s, it might be worth a trip.) http://www.joann.com/premier-cotton-fair-solid-yarn/zprd_12866315a.html#prefn1=weight&prefv1=2%20-%20Fine&start=1

    Lion Brand Vanna’s Glamour Yarn is also listed as a #2 yarn and available at Joann’s. http://www.joann.com/lion-brand-vanna-s-glamour-yarn/xprd1144577.html#prefn1=weight&prefv1=2%20-%20Fine&start=1

    KnitPicks also has a great selection of yarn, slightly more affordable, but you’ll have to factor in shipping. http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Fingering_Weight_Yarn__F30010103.html

    I’d also check Michael’s, AC Moore, or Hobby Lobby for a comparable #2, fingering weight yarn. I hope you’re able to find something. Keep me updated if you can!

    I found some premier cotton fair at Michaels, not my first color choice but had to take what I could find so hope it turns out nice. I am a little behind but starting tonight on it since I finally got the yarn 🙂
