Peek-a-Boo Button Wrap Pattern Size S-XL

Posted on April 30, 2015 | 189 Comments

Here it is, what you’ve been waiting for – the pattern for the Peek-a-Boo Wrap!

I’ve made this for you in four different sizes, from Small through to XL.

Here you can find a written pattern for size Medium, and below you can find a chart which will give you the measurements and stitch counts for sizes Small, Large and XL.

For the Dutch speakers among us, I’ve also had the design translated. You can find it here. Veel plezier!

You can pick up the yarn at Scheepjes retailers all over the Benelux including Caro’s Atelier*, or internationally from Wool Warehouse* and Deramores*.

And even better, Esther from It’s all in a Nutshell has created a video tutorial, which is enormously helpful!

Are you ready?

What You Need

Scheepjes Stone Washed XL in 850 (Garnet) – 12 balls for size M (I used 11, but get an extra to be safe)
S = 10 balls (each ball of Stone Washed XL has 75 metres)
M = 12 balls
L = 15 balls
XL = 17 balls
7cm bamboo button – you can pick these up at any good craft store, or online
Size 5mm hook (or hook to obtain gauge)
Measuring Tape
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Eucalan wool wash

Gauge

8 stitches x 5 rows = 5cm x 5cm

Stitches

Note: All stitches are in US terms
Chain (CH)
Half Double Crochet (HDC)
Half Double Crochet Back Loop Only (HDCBLO)
Half Double Crochet Front Loop Only (HDCFLO)

Size Medium

Chain loosely 119 stitches. If you’re a tight crocheter, consider going up a hook size to make sure that the chain isn’t too tight.
HDC into the third chain from the hook, and all the way across (a total of 117 stitches across). CH2, turn.
HDCBLO in the first stitch, HDCFLO in the next. Repeat this front and back (HDCBLO/FLO) format all the way across, CH2, turn. Note: It’s important to ensure that you have an odd number of stitches to make it easier to achieve the texture of the stitches. If you finish the row in the back loop, when you start the next row, start in the front loop and vice versa. You’ll find very quickly as you go that the look of the wrap will be different if you don’t maintain the BLO then FLO stitch pattern in alternating stitches.
Repeat this pattern building rows for 25cm.
Now we are going to make the first sleeve. Follow the HDCBLO/FLO pattern for 20 stitches, then CH 35, skip 35, then continue the HDCBLO/FLO pattern all the way to the end. Make sure you double check that you stitch into the BLO or FLO correctly (if the stitch in the row below was FLO, you need to stitch into the BLO).
HDCBLO/FLO to the chain from the previous row, then HDC 35 into the chain, then continue the HDCBLO/FLO to the end. the short end becomes the collar of the wrap.
Repeat step 3 for a further 37cm and then we will make the next sleeve. Making sure you start from the top of the collar and work down (add a row if you need to), repeat steps 5 and 6.
Continue building the final front panel, for 25cm, then we will make the button hole.
Starting from the top of the collar, repeat the HDCBLO/FLO pattern for 37 stitches. Chain 7, skip 7 stitches, then repeat the HDCBLO/FLO pattern all the way to the end.
HDCBLO/FLO to the chain from the previous row, then HDC 7 into the chain, then continue the HDCBLO/FLO to the end.
Build a further 7 rows, or complete your ball of yarn. Tie off, weave in ends.
Sew button on the opposite end of the garment to the button hole 9cm from the end, 25cm from the top.
Block, stretching a little (especially the length) and you’re done!

Thank you so much, it’s beautiful. But I have a question. What do you mean with BLO/FLO ? I know HDC is half double crochet, but don’ t know the rest. Hope you can help me.
- MissNeriss | January 29, 2016 at 07:31 | Reply
  
  Hi Rubi, BLO/FLO means crochet in the Back Loop Only (BLO), or in the Front Loop Only (FLO). Does this help?
  - Rubi | January 29, 2016 at 23:39 |
    
    Totally !! Thank you so much.

Good afternoon. I see that you measure the width of the rectangle from end to end is 104 cm. The back is 37 cm, so how wide is each front side? The directions say 25 cm for one side (to the armhole) and 32 cm for the other, but that doesn’t add up to the remainder of 104-37=94. Thank you.

Hello MissNeriss. Could I have your permission to translate this pattern into Spanish and make a video about how to make it? Naturally, all credit will be given to you and all links to your social media profiles.

Hi, Nerissa, I loooove your pattern. And now I’m making it. The stitch turns out very very nice. I shared this link and collage of your photos in my facebook account, a lot of good respons at the comment, maybe, you have a lot of traffic too from Indonesia.
Ah, the tips at your youtube channel is really really helpful. Thank you.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you again.

Hi Margie, I’m have trouble finding a 7cm button on the Internet. I believe you meant 7cm in diameter. Can anyone recommend me where I can find any?
- MissNeriss | November 21, 2015 at 15:39 | Reply
  
  Hi Lady A, can you tell me which country you are in? That might help me search for you. A smaller button will also work if you can’t find anything, but the button is a real feature.
  - Lady A | November 21, 2015 at 20:46 |
    
    Hi Nerissa, I’m in the US. I’ve looked at some of the popular chain craft stores, JoAnn’s and Micheal’s (not AC Moore yet), but they have a very little choices. The largest size I did find online that were nice was 6cm.

I want to make this in a size Small, but am having trouble with substituting the measurements and rows from the table to the pattern. Can you help me? Do you have the pattern written for size small? Thanks!!

I look for this yarn online, and it is only sold in Europe, what other yarn can I use, I don’t use wool, because of allergies, ‘any suggestions, I live in Tennessee, I purchase all my yarns either in hobby lobby or Joanna Fabrics

  Hi Margie, you can order it via Deramores.com, they ship world wide from the UK. The yarn is truly worth the wait on shipping, this stuff is a game changer!

  HI Sandra, yes, the back is solid. The vest is essentially one large rectangle. I think I do have a shot of the back, let me see and upload it. Check back shortly ok?

Lovely! I’m making it for myself right now. I’m making a larger size, and trying to understand the conversions. If I’m making it larger, do I still start off with 25cm? I figured out the arm holes, but I want to make sure I don’t short change myself. Thank you!
Heather Lohr | August 4, 2015 at 01:52 | Reply

I am in love with this pattern. Has anyone done a. Video on how it works up. Or closer pictures on how to create the arm holes. I am very good but have a hard time reading patterns. Thank you!

  Hi Heather, a video is comimg! I’m not sure when, but Esther from It’s All In A Nutshell is busy with it. With the armholes, you basically have to chain the amount you need, then skip the same amount of stitches before continuing on as normal. Does that help?

Hi, I’ve just started and done 11 cms in front with 2 balls. I ordered 10 balls. I’m worried that at this rate I will have nowhere near the amount of yarn required to complete project. I am using Austermann soft cotton 65% cotton 35% nylon. Will I need more than 10 balls for small size?
- MissNeriss | July 2, 2015 at 15:53 | Reply
  
  Hi there, unfortunately I can’t help with the yardage as I’ve never heard of the yarn you are using. If you’re gauge is right then you can compare the yardage to the recommended yarn (Scheepjes Stone Washed) to that which you are using. Good luck!

  Hi Heather, thanks so much for your lovely comment! You can order this via deramores.com in the US. It ships from the UK, but takes about a week to get to you. Good luck, you won’t regret the yarn choice! XN

    After 6 weeks of back order deramores.com canceled my order 😦 I guess I’ll be trying to find a suitable replacement.

Can’t wait to try this. In the event that I can’t get the yarn suggested, is there an alternative? Can you provide the yarn specs?
- MissNeriss | June 15, 2015 at 12:37 | Reply
  
  Hi Tish, I do hope you can get your hands on the yarn – deramores.com delivers globally – it’s a gamechanger! But if you’re unable to, I’d say a heavy worsted/aran weight. Anything that hooks up on a 5mm.
  
  Enjoy! XN

Hi
Love the pattern. Can you pls give the measurements for the finished giant rectangle? I m a beginner and am using a different yarn. Thanks so much in advance.
- MissNeriss | June 11, 2015 at 09:44 | Reply
  
  Hi HP, it depends which size you’re making. The measurements are all in the tables below the written pattern. So the Medium for example is 70 cm long (from collar to hem) and 104 cm from end to end. Make sense? Good luck! XN

  Hi Ssaye, there’s a print option at the bottom of the post, just above the comments starting. Note: you’ll have to select the pages you want to print, because if you print the lot, you’ll also get all the comments attached. And you don’t want that (or maybe you do!).

I am not familiar with that yarn and I have limited choices where I live. What weight is it? Worsted? Lovely vest. Thanks for sharing.
- Rhea | June 9, 2015 at 12:36 | Reply
  
  Did you get a reply for the weight of yarn this is? Worsted? It has 70% cotton 30% acrylic so I don’t think so. Would love to know the answer to this as this wool is not available in Canada.
  - MissNeriss | June 9, 2015 at 13:47 |
    
    Hi Rhea, Ravelry lists this yarn as Bulky, but I think it’s more worsted, or heavy worsted perhaps.
    
    You can get this yarn in Canada via http://deramores.com.

This is such a lovely design! I just ordered yarn to make one myself. I am going to make it using Scheepjes Bloom.

When I get round to making this (I have a few WIPs that I need to finish first), will you allow me to show the stitch worked in a short instruction video? Off course with full credit for your work! With your permission I will post it on my blog http://www.itsallinanutshell.com and link to your design.

  Hi Esther, by all means! I’d love you to do that because I’m too daunted by youtube to do it myself! Do let me know when you’re done so I can backlink it here ok?
  
  Good luck, I hope you enjoy it. The bloom will look wonderful – it’s SO much lighter than the Stone Washed.

Thank you its beautiful 😊 . If I try to make it whit sleeves that became bigger near the cuffs dp you think that 4 more balls would Be enough? Thank you got sharering
- MissNeriss | May 7, 2015 at 08:12 | Reply
  
  Thanks! I’m not sure to be honest. One ball makes seven rows of the top in the size medium, so I think it would really depend on which size you’re making. I think 4 balls would probably be a pretty conservative amount, it would take at least that. Keep me posted, I’d love to see how you go. x

    Love the vest! Definitely going on my to do list. Quick question about the gauge though, I assume (judging by the photo’s) you mean that 8 stitches x 5 rows = a square measuring 5 by 5 cm. Because 5 by 5 cm is not the same as 5cm²…
