Inspiration
This pattern was inspired by my mother who lives in the mountains where it gets quite cold. I wanted to make her an accessory piece for layering. I wanted it to be warm and snuggly as well as stylish, but also something she could take off easily when going indoors or as the day warmed up.

Yarn Details
The concept behind the Cozy Fireside Wrap was simple elegance.
I wanted to created my mom a simple piece that would add a stylish touch to her cooler weather wear.
I was quite fortunate that my husband had just purchased me a ton of gorgeous yarn from Hobby Lobby. Yarn Bee Fireside was one of those yarns..
I was immediately attracted to the color he’d picked out – Mandarin.
It was perfect for a transitional piece and I knew my mother would love it.
And, bonus, this yarn felt absolutely amazing!
I found only one con to working with this yarn.
Because of it’s ridge-like texture, it can be quite difficult to see your stitches!
Eventually I was able to find all my stitches by “feel”, but I do highly recommend using simple stitches, such as the half-double crochet, double crochet, or even treble crochet, when working with it.
I did attempt to use the single crochet, but since the stitches are quite small I found it impossible with this yarn – my eyes are not that good! 😂
You can purchase it at Hobby Lobby stores.

Pattern Notes:
Read all pattern notes, instructions, and other provided details carefully before starting the project to make sure you understand everything. It could save you hours & a lot of headaches!
- Make a swatch that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch provided under the Gauge Section. If your swatch matches the gauge, then you are all set to start the project. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your crochet hook – increase your hook size if your stitches are smaller & decrease your hook size if your stitches are larger.
- All measurements given are unblocked.
- Provided measurements are as exact as possible, but are given as approximates. This is because yarn variances, crochet tension, & individual technique might give variations in the result, which changes from person to person.
- Stitch counts are given in ( ) at the end of each row. If no stitch count is given, then the count is the same as the previous row.
- Care Instructions: Hand wash & lay flat to dry or follow instructions on the yarn label.

Instructions
Body:
Ch 170
Row 1: Hdc in 3rd ch from hook (does not count as a st) and in each ch across. (168 sts)
Row 2: Ch 2 (does not count as a st), turn work, hdc in each st across. (168 st)
Repeat row 2 until your project measures 16 – inches in width.
Edging:
NOTE: work edging on the short ends only.
— Attach yarn at the right-hand corner of one of each short edge using a slp-st.
*Ch 6, cluster st in 3rd ch from hook, ch 3, cluster st in top of previous cluster, fold top cluster onto bottom cluster, slp-st together at the base, ch 4, slp-st into the next st*
NOTE: the “next st” is wherever you want your next pom pom to be placed, for this pattern I skipped 2-3 sts before starting the next pom pom to produce 13 pom poms on each side, you can make as many or as little pom poms as you desire.

What would you have to do different to use a 3 or 4 weight yarn with this pattern? I live in South Georgia and we don't have many cold days, just cool ones. I would like to try making this pattern if not for the heat concern. Thank you for your help. Beverly

Hi Beverly,
I think the adjustment would be quite easy to do. Make your foundation chain with the lightweight 3 or medium 4 as long as you would like your wrap to be. Then follow the pattern instructions until the wrap is as wide as you want it to be. Does that make sense?
Sincerely,
RaeLynn
