Big Beautiful Hug Wrap
Give the best hug ever with our Big Beautiful Hug Wrap pattern! Cast on with our fabulously curly, 100% alpaca Fiddlehead yarn, now in 6 spectacular new colors, and embrace someone you love with the beauty of this simple knit.
The knitting truly couldn’t be easier; just cast on the long way and knit every row until, in a jiffy, you’ve used up all 6 skeins of yarn. You’ll end up with over 8.5 square feet of the coziest, loftiest fabric you can imagine… Truly big and beautiful!
You might think a wrap this big would weigh you down, but not so in Fiddlehead. Your Big Beautiful Hug Wrap will be as light and fluffy as a colorful cloud, and so soft you’ll never want to let go. Wrap it around, loop it through, or drape it over!
That incredible lightness and the charmingly curly texture come from Fiddlehead’s unique bouclé-like structure. Lush alpaca roving runs in soft waves along central threads (also made of alpaca), making this super bulky-weight yarn unbelievably airy and shockingly soft.
We’re so excited to add 6 beautiful, bright colors to the Fiddlehead family! Every color in Fiddlehead’s palette mixes two shades of alpaca roving, sometimes very closely related colors, like in new Fuchsia Pink, and sometimes very different ones, like in new Starry Night… Either way, the resulting colors are wonderfully deep and complex.
Cast on with a new and exciting Fiddlehead color or with an old favorite, and knit up a Big Beautiful Hug Wrap, a wearable embrace that will keep you and your loved ones cozy all winter long!

Materials
- 6 skeins of Purl Soho’s Fiddlehead, 100% alpaca yarn. Each skein of this super bulky-weight yarn is approximately 65 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 390 total yards required. We used the colors Fuchsia Pink and Starry Night.
- US 11 (8 mm), 60-inch circular knitting needles
NOTE: We used every last yard for our wraps! To avoid running short, be sure to check your gauge, reuse your swatch yarn, and keep tails short.
GAUGE
9 stitches and 18 rows (9 ridges) = 4 inches in garter stitch
SIZE
Finished Dimensions: 18 inches wide x 70 inches long
PATTERN
NOTE: You knit this wrap lengthwise, casting on for the long edge.
Cast on 158 stitches. We used a basic Long Tail Cast On.
Knit every row until piece measures 18 inches from cast-on edge, or if using Fiddlehead, until you only have several yards remaining for binding off.
Loosely bind off knitwise.
Weave in the ends and gently wet block, if desired.

LEARN ABOUT FIDDLEHEAD + ALL OUR BEAUTIFUL YARNS
Fiddlehead brings joy wherever it goes! Delightfully curly, it is 100% alpaca and as soft as you can imagine. One characteristic of Fiddlehead that’s hard to convey in photos is just how surprisingly light and airy it is, so although it is a super bulky-weight yarn, it practically floats off your needles! Available in lots of gorgeous colors and in 2-skein gift bundles, too, Fiddlehead is as fun as it is beautiful!
