Crochet Arcade Stitch Wrap - Free Pattern

The crochet arcade stitch wrap uses self-striping cake yarn to make stunning yet easy color changes when making this shawl. The Stormy Days Wrap is big enough to wear as a shawl, or wear it as an oversized scarf. Keep reading for the free crochet pattern.

Learn the Arcade Stitch to Crochet a New Wrap

Every spring I feel the need to update my wardrobe a bit, and that always includes making myself a new, light weight shawl or wrap perfect for the occasional cool summer nights!  Last year I used Caron Cakes to make my geometric Greenery Wrap.  This year I decided to go with the lighter weight Lion Brand Mandala yarn combined with the Arcade Stitch to make my newest free crochet shawl pattern.

This Lion Brand Mandala 'Genie' has been sitting in my stash for almost a year just waiting to be worked with.  But I knew I wanted to make something special with it, and I think this wrap style shawl fits the bill.  If you are familiar with my designs, you know that I love to add tassels to my projects and I think they give this design a nice modern touch.  But if you want to mix things up, you could leave off the tassels all together or even add some fringe instead!

There are SO many great new colors of Lion Brand Mandala yarn available now, you could make this up in any color pallet you want.  And if you are a die hard Caron Cakes fan you could certainly use that instead. Just remember your size may end up a bit larger unless you adjust your stitch count.
