So why are trench coats called trench coats? 

The term “trench coat” originates from its historical significance and original purpose. Trench coats were initially designed for and worn by soldiers in the trenches during World War I. The coat’s design and features were tailored to meet the needs of military personnel in the trenches, providing them with protection from the elements, particularly rain and wind.

The trench coat’s key characteristics, such as its double-breasted front, belted waist, epaulets, storm flaps, and durable fabric, were practical elements intended to serve soldiers in the trenches effectively. The length of the coat typically extended below the knees, providing additional coverage and protection.

After World War I, trench coats gained popularity among civilians due to their functionality, versatility, and timeless style. They transitioned from military uniforms to fashionable outerwear worn by both men and women in various settings, including everyday wear, business attire, and formal occasions.

The Alto Mare Wrap – Crochet Pattern

I do love a wrap pattern — especially the kind that feels light, wearable, and just a little bit elegant without being fussy. The Alto Mare Wrap (After Party Pattern 30) by Scheepjes, available through Jimmy Beans Wool, is exactly that sort of project.

What immediately stood out to me is how fluid and airy this wrap feels. It has that effortless drape that works just as well thrown over your shoulders on a cool evening as it does styled up with a dress. This isn’t a bulky winter piece — it’s a lighter layer you’ll reach for again and again, especially in those in-between seasons when you’re not quite sure what the weather’s doing.

From a making point of view, this is a really enjoyable crochet project. The stitch pattern has a lovely rhythm to it — enough movement to keep things interesting, but not so much that you’re constantly checking the instructions. It’s the kind of crochet that feels relaxing rather than demanding, which, at this stage of life, I fully appreciate.

Skill-wise, this sits comfortably in that intermediate space. You don’t need advanced techniques, but a bit of confidence reading stitch patterns and keeping your tension consistent will help. If you enjoy watching fabric grow and change as you work, this wrap is very satisfying — especially as the drape starts to show itself.

What I also love is how adaptable this pattern is. Change the yarn colour and fibre and you can completely shift the mood — soft and romantic, coastal and breezy, or bold and modern. It’s one of those patterns that quietly becomes a wardrobe staple rather than a once-worn piece.

Overall, the Alto Mare Wrap is a beautiful example of a free crochet pattern that feels refined and wearable. If you enjoy crocheting garments and accessories you’ll genuinely use, this one is well worth adding to your project list.
