Fraise-Rhubarbe Wrap

For as long as I can remember, my dad and I have shared the love of strawberries together with rhubarb. I have special memories as a young child, enjoying picking fresh strawberries and rhubarb from my mother’s garden and making a delicious pie, sometimes as a special surprise for my dad. With every bite, there was a burst of sweet tart flavor that was irresistible! 

Fraise-Rhubarbe is a rectangular shawl crocheted with beautiful gradients of red, offset by lucious green accents. Each section of red is filled with little spike stitches that represent the cute little seeds scattered all over a strawberry. The green accents have fun little nupps for added texture. A delicate border is added for a finished look on the edges.

16” x 64” (40.5 cm x 162.5 cm)

Beginner Level: For the beginner crocheter who is ready to explore some fun textures! Almost all stitches, are simple single crochet, except for three fun and easy techniques: the spike stitch, the nupp stitch and single crochet one below stitch. All three of these are explained carefully in the notes. The pattern is easy to memorize and can be modified in length to preferences.
