Magic Chevrons
Lion Brand® Homespun®
Pattern Number: justWrap
Designed by Katherine Eng. It's hard to believe that just one yarn is used for this multicolored crocheted wrap-the yarn is dyed with extra-long color repeats to create its own stripes. There is minimal finishing and you never have to change colors.

GAUGE:
8 stitches = 4" (10 cm); Rows 1-3 = 21⁄2" (6.5 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Exact gauges is not imporant to this project.
