Concept and Design

I first used this linked/modified half double crochet 2 together with a scarf pattern a few years ago and just really fell in love with it. The stitch is a total yarn eater but the texture and squish factor are amazing! I thought this stitch would also make for a great wrap to be used any time of year. You could use a thinner weight or cotton yarn for a summery wrap, or a heavier weight or wool for a warmer, winter wrap.

The Kayson wrap is on the smaller side but can easily be adjusted to make a larger wrap or an oversized scarf depending on your preference. Once you get used to linking your stitches and working in the stitch space just worked, this is a great Netflix binging project!

Yarn

There are SO many great yarns from WeCrochet and I am slowly working my way through them. I first used Hawthorne fingering weight yarn a few months back on my Wynn shawl and was eager to use it again. The colors are so pretty and the yarn is so nice to work with. This time, I chose the speckled yarn in the colorway Andromeda speckle. The base is a lighter gray with lots of pink, green, and blue speckles.  If you end up using the same weight yarn as I did and want a larger wrap, I would recommend getting 5-6 skeins total.

Ideally, any weight yarn (#1-#4) sock thru worsted would work well for this project. Just know that if you use a different weight yarn than I did, your hook size and yardage will vary from mine.

Thank you to WeCrochet for providing the yarn for this project!

Materials Needed

  • Ideally, any weight yarn (#1-#4) sock thru worsted would work well for this project. I used WeCrochet’s Hawthorne fingering (#1) weight yarn in Andromeda Speckle (4 skeins, or 1425 yds).
  • US size G/7 (4 mm) hook, or size recommended for yarn used
  • Tapestry needle

Gauge

  • 9 HDC and 5 rows = 8 inches
  • Finished size is approximately 17.5 inches wide and 56 inches long

Abbreviations

Ch(s) = chain(s)

HDC2TOG = half double crochet 2 stitches together

Linked HDC2TOG = link 2 half double crochet stitches together

St(s) = stitch(es)

  • You can easily alter the size of your wrap by adjusting the number of starting chains, just use any number then add 2 for the turning chain.
  • If you are a tight crocheter, I recommend going up ½ a hook size to complete your foundation chain and Row 1 then switch to hook needed to obtain the gauge.
  • Chain 2 at beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
  • This is a smaller sized wrap and would work as an oversized scarf. If you would like to make yours longer and use the same yarn, I recommend adding 1-2 skeins more than I did.
  • If you use a different weight yarn than I did, just know that your hook size and yardage will vary from mine.

Special Stitches

First Linked HDC2TOG: Yarn over and insert hook into space just worked. For this example, this would be the 4th chain from the hook. Yarn over and pull through chain (3 loops on hook).

Yarn over and insert hook into next chain (5th chain from hook). Yarn over and pull through chain (5 loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through all 5 loops on hook.

*The Linked HDC2TOG links 2 stitches together rather than decreasing like a traditional HDC2TOG. The stitch count remains unchanged because you are working the first leg of the stitch in the space you just worked and the 2nd leg of the stitch is worked into the next stitch space.

Each Linked HDC2TOG down the rest of the foundation chain will start in the chain space just worked. The stitch will be completed in the next chain space as shown above.
