Entwined Wrap: Free Scarf Knitting Pattern

Введение

Entwined Wrap

Like hearts entwined, cables connect in ways both complex and inspired. Our Entwined Wrap knitting pattern submits to the laws of love with cables interlacing in a braided dance. What beauty to behold!

This is a fun one for people new to cables, as well as old-time cable lovers. Nothing ever gets too difficult, but you do get to engage your brain a bit, never a bad thing! We offer the instructions both written out and in a chart, so pick your cup of tea.

To knit up our Entwined Wrap, we used lovely Santolina. A mix of 70% organically grown cotton, 20% rayon from bamboo, and 10% hemp, it is a perfect yarn for three-season accessories. It is wonderfully soft and gently heathered, with a subtle shine. We love its hand, both while we knit and while we wear!

Yarn lovers, if you adore the yarn used in this project, you’ll love exploring all of our other yarn collections! Discover over 55 thoughtfully designed yarns in nearly every natural fiber and in every spectacular color you can imagine. Only available here at Purl Soho’s online yarn store, where every skein is created with care and your creativity in mind!
