Featherdown Wrap: Free Scarf Knitting Pattern

Введение

Featherdown Wrap

A big, stylish swath of fabric, our Featherdown Wrap pattern is as miraculously light as its name suggests, all thanks to Pouf, our super soft new yarn that’s literally spun around air!

Inspired by the oversized blanket scarves popping up on the streets of Paris, the Featherdown Wrap is a version that anyone can knit for themselves. It’s all easy knitting in stockinette stitch with an impactful color change 2/3 the way through, and in lofty Pouf, beginners and confident knitters alike will love every stitch!

Pouf’s unique spin whips a 50/50 mix of long-fiber alpaca and fine highland wool into an airy strand with a hollow core that makes it as insulating as a down comforter. The slightly thick-and-thin spin gives gorgeous texture to even the simplest stitches, and stockinette is no exception!

A light, fluffy ball of fun, Pouf is a pure delight in your hands and on your knitting needles. It’s oh-so soft right from the ball as you knit, and it gets even softer when you block your finished fabric, relaxing into a squishy, dreamy fabric that you’ll love to wear right up next to your skin.

Each 100-gram ball gives you tons of yardage for a chunky-bulky to super bulky-weight yarn… Fully 108 yards of joy! Pick any two from Pouf‘s palette of 23 colors, a mix of sheep-y neutrals and natural pops. You’ll need 4 balls of your main color and 2 of your contrast to make your Featherdown Wrap.

Cast on for this elegant knit that will keep you warm without weighing you down or overwhelming you.

Whether you keep your Featherdown Wrap for yourself or gift it to a stylish someone on your list, you’ll marvel at the big, beautiful magic of Pouf!
