Hi all!
This post includes everything you need to know about the Hibiscus Floral Wrap, a large rectangular wrap that features a lush floral stitch pattern dancing across the fabric, mimicking blooming hibiscus flowers.
This is the sister pattern to the Hibiscus Sunglasses Pouch (found here)—a matching floral case for your sunnies using the same floral lace pattern!
This pattern is available as an independent PDF (Ravelry, Etsy, and other links included below) and is an original design from my new book Summer Crochet: 19 Delicate Designs with Simple Lace and Timeless Silhouettes, released in spring 2025. This book includes 19 size-inclusive, warm-weather garment and accessory patterns using a variety of techniques and construction methods to ensure there is something of value for every skill level. Each pattern is written with an inclusive size range from XS to 5XL and each size has been thoroughly tested, thoroughly tech edited, and fully charted! We had hundreds of crochet pattern testers for this book to make sure that each size fits its intended wearer in a way that makes them feel beautiful.
You can buy this book with confidence, knowing that each pattern was written for you and your unique body measurements.

About
This delicate summer wrap features a lush floral stitch pattern that dances across the fabric, mimicking blooming hibiscus flowers. Designed for a breezy day at the beach or for a little protection from the sun’s rays, this multifunctional wrap can be worn multiple ways; wrap it around your shoulders like a shawl, or drape it over your lap like a blanket.
I have never been one to wear shawls or wraps, but I am obsessed with the look of this piece. I love to think of this pattern as a shawl for “non-shawl people”!
PS—This is the sister pattern to the Hibiscus Sunglasses Pouch (found here)—a matching pouch using the same lace stitch pattern!
Materials
Yarn: Fingering—WeCrochet Stroll™ in colorway “Dogwood Heather”
- 75% Fine Superwash Merino Wool, 25% Nylon
- 231 yds (211 m) per 1.8 oz (50 g) skein
- Find this yarn on crochet.com or visit yarnsub.com to find comparable substitutes available in your region.
Yardage Required: 9 skeins or approximately 2075 yds (1897 m)
Yarn Substitution: Scroll down for an extensive list of yarn substitutes and yarns used during pattern testing.
Yarn Tip: Because of the intricate lace detail, multicolored yarns such as heavily variegated or speckled yarns may muddle the lace pattern, causing the flowers to become indistinct. For best results, it is recommended to use a solid-colored yarn when working this pattern. Be sure to swatch and block your chosen yarn before beginning as instructed in the Gauge section to ensure you will be happy with the resulting fabric.
Hook: Size U.S. E/4 (3.5 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge
Notions: Tapestry needle and 2 locking stitch markers
Yarn Substitution
WeCrochet Stroll has the following properties:
- 75% Fine Superwash Merino Wool, 25% Nylon
- 231 yds (211 m) per 1.8 oz (50 g) skein
Substitute WeCrochet Stroll with any similar fingering-weight (category #1) yarn that matches gauge. Note that fingering weight is often referred to as “4-ply” in the U.K. and Australia.
Appropriate Yarn Substitutes:
This list below includes some yarns I added myself in addition to the yarns used and recommended by testers. I tried to link them whenever possible.
* Reminder that you will need a total of 2075 yds (1897 m) of your chosen yarn.
- Cascade Yarns Heritage (75% Superwash Merino Wool, 25% Nylon)
- Hobbii Twister (55%Cotton, 45% Acrylic)
- Malibrigo Ultimate Sock (75% Merino, 25% Nylon)
- Paintbox Yarns Cotton 4 Ply (100% Cotton)

- WeCrochet Comfy Fingering (75% Pima Cotton, 25% Acrylic)
- Yarnsmiths Merino Sock (75% Wool, 25% Nylon)
- Note: Hand-dyed fingering weight yarns (sock yarns) from your favourite dyers will work well in this project!
Gauge
Although the same hook size is used throughout this pattern, the gauge for both the floral stitch pattern and the double crochet border is provided for your convenience.
Floral Pattern Gauge: Complete the swatch as instructed below.
For Swatch
FDC 45.
Place a st marker into the 4th st from each end of your foundation ch (2 markers total) to mark off the border.
Work Rows 1–9 from the Floral Pattern, then work Rows 2–4, then work the Last Row of the Floral Pattern.
Your blocked swatch should measure approximately 7.25 inches (18 cm) wide and 4.5 inches (11 cm) tall in order to achieve the finished measurements listed.
Double Crochet Border Gauge: 4 x 4” (10 x 10 cm) = 24 dc and 12 rows

B: 21.5 inches (55 cm)

D: 60 inches (152 cm)
Pattern Notes
Skill Level: Intermediate
Stitch Counts: Stitch counts are listed after each row. If no stitch count is given, there has been no change since the previous row.
Reversible: There is no right side or wrong side to this fabric; both sides are identical. You choose which side to display as the “right side.”
Turning Chain: The turning chain does not count as a stitch.
Tension: Try to avoid stitching the floral section at a tighter tension than your double crochet border.
Construction: This rectangular wrap is worked lengthwise, beginning with a solid double crochet border before transitioning to an eight-row repeat to create the lacy floral pattern. A solid border is added last to match the one at the beginning.
