As soon as the air starts to cool, I’m ready to pull out the layers. The Valentino Wrap delivers all the cozy without sacrificing style. Generously sized and full of drape, it can be wrapped around your neck, piled high for extra warmth or draped loosely over your shoulders.

This beginner-friendly pattern gives the classic granny stripe a modern update with bold color blocking and soft DK-weight yarn. It’s also the perfect canvas for variegated or self-striping yarn, letting the yarn do the colorwork for you. With row-by-row instructions, a helpful diagram and a photo tutorial, the Valentino is just as relaxing to crochet as it is fun to wear.
