Asymmetrical wrap pattern
Do you want to crochet an asymmetrical cape with our most special tweed yarn, Rubí Nebulosa? Saraswasti Crochet shows us with this free pattern how to crochet an asymmetrical cape, closed at one end with a sleeve, to give it a super original touch.
● 3 skeins of Rubí Nebulosa color 104
● 12 mm crochet hook
● 10 mm crochet hook
● Yarn needle.
● 1 stitch marker.
Stitches used:
● Chain: ch.
● Single crochet: sc.
This project begins by crocheting one of the shorter ends. Then we will sew the shoulder and finally crochet the cuff of the sleeve.
The measurements are as follows:
We are going to start the work with 15 ch.
To make the beginning easier, you can use a 12 mm hook for the initial 15 chains and then continue the work with the 10 mm hook.
Row 1: Ch 1 to give height and continue the entire row in sc.
Row 2: Ch 1 and continue with an increase, making 2 sc in the first stitch and 2 sc in the last stitch.
Row 3: Ch 1 and continue the entire row in sc.
Continue increasing at the beginning and end of each EVEN row.
Odd rows are worked in sc.
Tip: If you have trouble distinguishing the first stitch from the turning chain, place a stitch marker in the first stitch.
Once we reach 25 cm in height, we will continue crocheting single crochets, this time without increases until our work measures 1.25 cm.
Now we are going to start decreasing. In this case, we will crochet two stitches together at the beginning and end of each odd row. We will make a total of 20 rows so that our work ends up measuring 22 cm wide.
Sleeves:
Fold the piece in half and sew the curved ends, leaving the central opening which will be the sleeve.
- Work a round of single crochets around the hole that has formed when joining the ends.
2. Work a second round, but this time decreasing stitches until you get the measurement of your forearm circumference. In my case, every 5 stitches I decreased 1 by crocheting two stitches together. Finally, I will have a measurement of 24 cm (12 cm front/12 back).
3. All that's left is to crochet the sleeve cuff, and we'll do this by crocheting sc in a circular fashion until we reach a length of 17 cm.
Remember to place a stitch marker at the beginning to keep track of how many rounds you've made.
