‘Triple check’ is a large, textured crochet wrap/scarf pattern made with 3 colours and inspired by woven textures, tweeds and plaids. The pattern uses techniques similar to those seen in mosaic and interlocking crochet to create a cozy modern crochet fabric that’s satisfying to make.
  
Skills Used:

This gives a total meterage of about 820m for the whole project.
  
Fingering weight / 4 ply yarn can be easily substituted as can double knit, perhaps with a few tweaks to the stitch count (stitch multiples are detailed in the pattern).
  
Finished Size:
The finished wrap measures 184cm long and 30cm wide after blocking. Before blocking it measured 156x26cm, so there is quite a lot of stretch through the rows. Guidance for adjusting the size is included in the pattern.
