Flower Rain Wrap is an oversized crochet wrap designed to showcase texture and stitch detail using two coordinating gradient yarn cakes. The pattern combines some favourite, well-loved crochet stitches to create a fabric that is visually interesting yet relaxing to work.
The design is intentionally straightforward, allowing you to enjoy the rhythm of the stitches without constantly referring to the pattern, while still offering just enough variety to keep things engaging. It’s an ideal project for crocheters who enjoy longer, mindful makes with a gentle challenge along the way.
The wrap is worked in a lightweight yarn on a 3.50mm hook, with a contrasting edging to neatly finish the piece. Any gradient yarns of a similar weight can be used to make the design your own. Pattern is written in English and uses UK terms.

Flower Rain Wrap - Pattern Notes

The wrap is worked using two gradient yarn cakes. Begin with the first cake worked from the outside. When this is finished, start the second cake from the inside and continue until approximately 50 g of yarn remains. This remaining yarn is used to work the border.
The main body of the wrap is made up of repeating sections across each row. The column featuring the flower motif is referred to as Section A, while the column featuring the rain pattern is referred to as Section B. A narrower panel is worked at each side to frame and border the wrap.
In addition to the written pattern, a chart is also provided for Section A (the placement of the flower motifs), as this is often easier to follow. The chart can be found at the end of the pattern.
The body of the wrap is worked in rows, turning at the end of each row.
The outlines of the flower petals are created using chain stitches. These chains do not count as individual stitches; instead, they form spaces that are worked into on the following row.
