As summer wraps up, who doesn’t love a good versatile and convertible crochet piece? Originally, I designed this pattern as a sarong but as I worked it up I realized that it’s also a great scarf! And a great wrap and shawl. In short – this piece is a closet staple that can be used with SO many outfits. Maybe I should have picked a more ~versatile~ name for this one instead of naming it as a crochet sarong?
Not only will this be my last summer pattern but it’s also my first fall pattern! With cold weather approaching, I cannot wait to wear this all the time. This design is so great for spicing up any outfit. I recently wore this with a plain black t-shirt and jeans and LOVED it. Next up – wearing this as a scarf with a denim jacket. I am truly obsessed.
I also got to try out Lion Brand Nuboo (finally) for this design and am in love with it. It’s so smooth and silky and I am not ashamed to say that I ended up buying sweater quantities of two more colors after I finished this pattern up. I cannot wait to work with this yarn again so make sure you stock up for more patterns! You can shop Nuboo by clicking here!

Stitch Abbreviations
I’ll be the first to admit, this sarong pattern does have some twists and turns to it. I definitely would not recommend this as a beginner pattern as it does include some shell and picot stitches that might be a bit confusing to someone just starting out.
- Ch – chain
- St – stitch
- Sp – space
- Sl st – slip stitch
- Sc – single crochet
- Dc – double crochet
- Tr – treble crochet
Special Stitches:
- Picot – [sc, ch3, sc] in same space
- Dc shell – [dc, ch1, dc, ch1, dc] in same space
- Edge picot – [1dc, ch1, 1dc, (sl st into top of DC as a picot), ch1, 1dc, ch1, 1dc)

Rows 8 – 60 (67): repeat rows 4-7 [last row should consist of 1dc to create a “point” on the sarong – end repeat on row 4]
Cut & tie off, weave in ends.
Edging
Attach yarn where the beginning chain begins and ch2. Working around the edge toward the “point” of the sarong, in every ch4-sp all the way until the “point”, work an edge picot and ch3 in between each ch-sp. Work the same pattern into the “point” then continue all the way around until you reach the opposite side of the beginning chain, working the same pattern into the corner of the beginning chain then slip stitch into the corner of the original starting chain to secure. Now cut & tie off and weave in all ends. [do not work anything along the starting chain itself]
You can see the “point” of the sarong and edging below.
Blocking
You can use your preferred method of blocking (so long as the yarn material you’re using will work with it). I chose to steam block my piece on foam blocking boards.
I hope you enjoyed crocheting this sarong as much as I enjoyed designing it! If you have any questions, you can reach out to [email protected].
