Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap Crochet Pattern: Perfect for the Winter Wardrobe

As we cosy up for the winter season, I’m thrilled to share my latest project: the Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap, a beautiful addition to any winter wardrobe that’s as stylish as it is comfortable. Featured in the December edition of I Like Crochet magazine, this wrap brings together a classic houndstooth stitch pattern with a modern frosty colour scheme that’s perfect for colder months.

Houndstooth is one of those timeless patterns that I think always adds a touch of sophistication, and this wrap is no exception. The Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap combines contrasting tones to create that bold, traditional checkered effect while still feeling soft and subtle. With a gorgeous drape and enough length to wrap yourself up comfortably, it’s ideal for layering over your favourite winter outfits, whether you’re heading out for a brisk winter walk or curling up with a book by the fire.

I used Scheepjes Colour Crafter for this wrap; it’s a yarn I’ve used for many projects and it never disappoints! This DK (light worsted) yarn is a premium 100% acrylic (328 yarns [300mters] / 100g) that’s wonderfully soft with a smooth, even texture. Plus, it’s hypoallergenic, making it perfect for clothing and wraps that need to be both snug and gentle on the skin.

Three balls of yarn in soft hues sit on a table top surrounded by crochet notions, a small potted plant, and a steaming cup of tea, creating a cosy crafting scene.

One of my favourite things about this pattern is the soothing rhythm of crocheting the houndstooth design, it’s repetitive enough to be a relaxing experience — perfect for an evening by the fire with a cup of tea. The houndstooth pattern is created through simple colour changes, so if you’ve been wanting to dip your toes into colorwork, this is a fabulous project to try – a great pattern for beginners.

The wrap pairs well with neutral outfits and works wonders with winter whites and forest greens, embracing the essence of a snowy woodland. For those who love a bit of a twist on classic style, the houndstooth design here is a fantastic way to make a statement without overwhelming your look.

The Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap is styled as a long, cozy scarf around a mannequin, set against a lush background of ivy. The classic houndstooth pattern contrasts beautifully with the greenery, enhancing the wrap’s warm texture and elegant drape.

If you haven’t heard of I Like Crochet magazine before it’s a US bi-monthly digital magazine which is published by the creators of AllFreeCrochet.com. With it being a US publication patterns are written using US crochet terminology – if you are not sure how that differs you may find my post British vs. American Crochet Terms: What’s the difference? of use.
