More Details:
This simple crochet rectangle shawl really is an easy pattern to crochet. With just a 1 row repeat it can easily be made while watching tv.
It incorporates 2 sections on each end that are lace and a solid stitch pattern in the center. But, the solid stitch can still be a little lacy as it is a taller stitch.
The lacy stitch used in this wrap is called the Y-Stitch. It is a go-to crochet stitch for Summer crochet patterns. Find a full tutorial here all about the Y-Stitch!
The other main stitch used throughout this crochet wrap is the treble crochet. The treble crochet stitch is even used to create part of the Y-stitch. It is a nice tall stitch.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Helpful notes from testers:
- Occasionally count the treble crochet stitches between the Y-stitches to make sure you are staying on track and not missing or adding stitches along the way.
- A stitch marker can be added to the first and the last treble crochet stitch in the center section between the Y-stitches.
