Notes From the Designer:
Embrasser is a bolero-style wrap that features a diamond-shaped lace body and cuffs at each end. It can be worn as a wrap, but also offers the opportunity to cover your arms when worn as a bolero. The body is worked flat as a long rectangle before both short ends are joined in the round to prepare for the single crochet cuffs. The body section includes an easy six-row repeat that only requires knowing how to single crochet, double crochet, and make chain stitches. Let Embrasser wrap your body like a gentle hug.
The new Signature Fingering yarn base is a blend of Baby Alpaca, Linen, and Mulberry Silk. It not only stands out for its softness and sheen, but will bloom with blocking, which makes it the perfect choice to celebrate Expression Fiber Arts’ journey as a company.
- Click the Videos tab to view a tutorial on how to crochet the six-row repeating body stitch and how to wear this bolero.
- Embrasser is a rectangular wrap that is initially worked flat. Two cuffs are added on each side after finishing the main body, which gives the wrap the shape to be worn like a bolero. The body section is constructed with a six-row repeat that generates the diamond lace stitch pattern. For the cuffs, you will first connect the two corners of the short edges on each side, and work a couple of inches in the round before finishing with a single crochet ribbing, which is attached via a chain to start off.
- Because I am a tight crocheter, I highly recommend checking your gauge against mine to ensure that you have enough yarn to complete the design and reach the desired measurements. To help you match your gauge, the unblocked gauges for the Leaf Pattern, Subtle Stripes Stitch, and the Single Crochet Rib Stitch are included here, as well:
- Leaf Pattern: 30 sts and 17 rows = 4” (10 cm) with US F (3.75 mm), unblocked.
- Subtle Stripes: 24 sts and 18 rows = 4” (10 cm) with US F (3.75 mm), unblocked.
- Single Crochet Rib: 22 sc and 38 rows = 4” (10 cm) with US E (3.5 mm), unblocked.
- When working the Leaf Pattern, the ch-1 sp is not counted as a stitch.
- The pattern includes written instructions, as well as a chart at the end of this PDF.
- The length of the bolero can be adjusted individually, but note that the instructions below use approximately 1566 yards (about 3.5 skeins of Signature Fingering). For a longer wrap, you might need additional yarn.
- For bust sizes 40” and above, I suggest adding length to the body to ensure that the bolero can be worn in all the different ways. To determine the total length of the body, take your bust size and multiply by 1.8.
- Ch 2 at beginning of rows and/or rounds does NOT count as a stitch. The first double crochet will go into the stitch containing the ch 2.

Embrasser was the latest pattern I bought. I’ve just completed the shawl - I decided to forgo the sleeves - and am in love with the beautiful, delicate lace pattern. I’m considering it as a wedding shawl for an upcoming wedding. Thank you also for patterns that are always clear and easy to follow.

I started the project and so far no problem, clear instructions. Thank you very much for this pattern.

I think this pattern is beautiful and I like very much the way I can wear it. I was looking for something life this, and I am very thankful that I find here. I will make it very soon.
The crochet pattern is awesome!
Rather than make the sleeved wrap, I used the pattern to make a rectangular shawl. Beauty beyond belief. Thanks EFA for the perfect silky merino.

I just started working on Embrasser and am loving the way it works up. It is a fast crochet and very enjoyable way to while away and evening. I am just getting back to crocheting after many years of not picking up a hook. The patter is very well written and easy to follow. looking forward to finishing so it can be worn
Embrasser
I really like this pattern as it is something similar to a shell pattern I have done on a baby blanket but this is even nicer to wear, so I am starting to work on it for now and I am loving it. Thanks Chandi
