Racer Wrap Scarf Crochet Pattern

Racer Wrap in Lion Brand Hue + Me

What Is Being Made

The Racer Wrap is a modern triangle wrap designed by Two of Wands for Lion Brand Yarn. This versatile accessory features a striking asymmetric triangle shape with dramatic color blocking stripes. The finished wrap measures 62 inches in width and 30 inches in length to the point, making it suitable for multiple styling options. Wear the wrap with the point in front like a traditional scarf to bundle against cold weather, or drape it over the shoulders for a more formal aesthetic.

Crochet Techniques Used

The Racer Wrap employs fundamental crochet techniques appropriate for beginner-level crafters. The wrap is worked flat, side to side, beginning at one point and increasing by one stitch each row along one side edge to create the asymmetric triangle silhouette. This straightforward construction method involves turning at the end of each row and maintaining consistent stitch counts through strategic increases. The pattern uses a simple color-changing technique where new yarn colors are introduced by working the final yarn over of the last stitch of the previous row with the new color, creating clean, intentional stripe transitions.

Stitches Used

• Half Double Crochet (hdc): The primary stitch throughout the wrap, providing meditative, simple stitchwork that pairs with the dramatic color blocking for visual interest
• Single Crochet (sc): Used to finish the top angled edge of the wrap, worked evenly across at approximately 3 stitches for every 2 rows
• Chain Stitch (ch): Used for foundation and turning chains; the ch 2 at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch

Materials and Tools

This project requires Lion Brand Yarn Hue + Me yarn in three coordinating colorways: 3 skeins in Magic Hour (617-108) for the main color, 1 skein in Terra (617-123) for the first contrast color, and 1 skein in Ozone (617-105) for the second contrast color. A US N/P (10mm) crochet hook is required to achieve the specified gauge of 7 stitches and 6 rows equaling 4 inches in half double crochet after blocking. A tapestry needle is needed for weaving in yarn ends. The pattern is available as a downloadable PDF (Pattern Number M20288.TWH) and is offered in one size only.

Pattern Construction Details

The Racer Wrap construction spans 68 total rows, with the pattern divided into distinct color sections. Rows 1-50 are worked in the main color (Magic Hour), establishing the base triangle shape through consistent increases. Rows 51-58 transition to the first contrast color (Terra), continuing the increase pattern. Rows 59-64 shift to the second contrast color (Ozone), maintaining the same increase sequence. Rows 65-68 return to the main color (Magic Hour) to complete the wrap. After the final row, the top angled edge is finished with single crochet stitches worked evenly across, and all yarn ends are secured and woven in. Blocking is recommended to relax the stitches and increase the wrap's drape.
