You are now viewing the Poudreuse Wrap by guest designer Hortense.
Poudreuse means powder snow in French. That’s what this wrap reminds me of. The yarn is so light and fluffy and the very light blue color is nearly the blue of ice in the mountains.
The poudreuse wrap is an easy biased wrap in 2 yarn colors. Only simple stitches are used as well as the bead stitch for some added texture and just a little twist (fully explained below don’t worry).
You can wear it as a wrap on your shoulders or as a giant scarf. The simple, yet elegant designs dresses up any outfit in no time.

Crochet Pattern Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- Repeat instructions between * * the indicated number of times or until the end of the row.
- The turning chain ch1 and ch2 do not count as stitches throughout the pattern. I use a turning ch2 for dc stitches as it gives me a neater edge.
- When changing color, the turning ch1 or ch2 at the end of the previous row should be done in the new color. For better readability, this is not mentioned throughout the pattern.
Sizes and Measurements
The wrap is 2m25 long and 50cm wide. You can easily adjust the width by adding/removing a multiple of 2 stitches to the starting chain. To adjust the length you can just add or remove rows.
Abbreviations
- ch = chain(s)
- dc = double crochet
- sc = single crochet
- st = stitch

We try our best to include all crochet abbreviations in the list above for the crochet pattern, but sometimes we may forget one or two.

Techniques You Will Need
Increase in dc stitch = Make 2 dc stitches in the same stitch
Decrease in dc stitch = To decrease in double crochet, work the first double crochet until only 2 loops are on the hook. Yarn over, place hook in next stitch, yarn over, pull through stitch, yarn over, pull through 2 loops (3 loops on hook). Yarn over, pull yarn through all 3 loops for a completed decrease.
