Juno Boucle Beginner Crochet Wrap Free Pattern

I love the look of boucle and am so thrilled to see it in stores lately! This beginner crochet shawl (or wrap) pattern uses chunky, color changing yarn so you can make it no time. It uses the most basic single crochet stitch and takes zero brain power. I think it would work great as a prayer shawl or charity pattern as well, don’t you?

A few years ago I shared a similar pattern, the Sedona Serenity Shawl (here). This knit version has continued to be a popular pattern for beginner knitters, so I thought it would be nice to make a cozy crocheted version.

This is the first pattern in my “Into The Wild Collection” to kick off 2020 (HERE).  Each of these patterns will feature colors and styles inspired by nature and perfect for wearing “into the wild”.  This collection was made with the hope that we can appreciate the beauty of nature, our open spaces and the natural environment.

The understated, neutral striping in this yarn is beautiful and it will go with just about any outfit. You can dress it up, or dress it down if you’re taking a stroll through the woods on a chilly day.  It’s also lovely to leave by your favorite chair or couch to wrap up and read a good book.  In fact, I’ve used a  knit version (it’s slightly larger) as a blanket for years!

I think this is a great example of a project that proves you don’t have to be a master at crochet to make something completely beautiful and practical. You can be a total beginner! Sometimes the simplest of projects are my faves.

If you’re curious about how you might see your stitches, let me do a little explain’n. 😉 I designed this wrap using the easiest, most basic, single crochet stitch which makes things a lot simpler when working with a yarn like this.  If you’re a total beginner, it is challenging to see the stitches, especially when working into the beginning chain.  My suggestion would be to start with a small chain and work a swatch before beginning the entire pattern. I do believe it’s slightly easier to knit with this yarn than to crochet with this yarn.  With that being said, once you “get it”, the wrap is a breeze.  If you end up having a lot of difficulty, simply use the same pattern with a different yarn! Any super bulky #6 yarn will do.

Look at that warm, squishy wrap.  When we took photos, it was definitely chilly.  The wrap did a great job of keeping me warm even without a jacket.

How To Crochet the Wrap (in people terms)

Get your super bulky yarn, your big hook and make a chain that’s 26 stitches long. You’ll then crochet across each row, using the easy single crochet stitch, until your shawl is as long as you’d like. If you’ve never crocheted, there are TONS of tutorials and videos on how to make the single crochet stitch. Go check ’em out and then come back here to make this!  Tie off and weave in ends to finish.  You may choose to add fringe, tassels or poms if you’d like as well.

Shall we get to the pattern for this super simple crochet shawl?
