Parade - an elegant crochet keyhole wrap pattern

‘Parade’ is a delicate mohair crochet wrap in two sizes, with the addition of a keyhole scarf variation to the smaller option.

It’s a simple, relaxing crochet pattern for an elegant shawl that’s perfect for formal occasions or simply to add a bit of luxury to your everyday.

The easy crochet lace pattern repeat is a joy to make and creates a ton of soft and fluttery drape. Especially in combination with the feather light mohair.

Materials

Yarn & Crochet Hook

You will need approximately 40g or 400m/440yds of a fine mohair or mohair blend yarn and a 4.5mm crochet hook, or size needed to match gauge. I used my clover amour hook.

The item pictured used mohair from 80 skeins yarns; 67% super-kid mohair, 3% merino, 30% polyamide, 20g ball = 200m.

The full size wrap used 40g or 400m/440yds mohair blend yarn
The smaller keyhole scarf used 33g or 330m/365yds mohair blend yarn

Yarn substitution

This pattern will work with a variety of fibres. Different fibres and yarns will produce a different finished result.

Suri alpaca fingering weight yarn is often used as a substitute for mohair.

You may find this post useful when choosing yarn.

Other Materials & Notions

Yarn needle, scissors and a tape measure.

This project will benefit from blocking, so I recommend a Blocking board and pins.

Learn more about blocking here.

I found that the wrap grew in length and the rows shrunk marginally with blocking, however, it is quite malleable.
