Fireside Wrap
The life of a fire draws you in. You love it for its warmth and can’t resist its beauty. With colorful bits and the lure of tradition, our gorgeous Hedgerow brings the same irresistible vitality to every stitch, making our Fireside Wrap a simple, satisfying knit you can’t turn away from!
After a simple cast on, you move into a big, generous knit 4-purl 4 border. You don’t stop after an inch or two… Keep on going! Once your ribbing is substantial enough to command attention, you continue in stockinette stitch, knitting one row and purling the next, with a simple slipped edge to keep things neat. Another 4 x 4 ribbed border finishes things off!
Besides being eye-catching, that ribbed border also helps keep your stockinette scarf from curling up into a tube. Stockinette has this tendency because knit stitches and purl stitches are different tensions, but that ribbing helps mitigate this inclination!
As you ease into the simple stitches of this knit, you’ll be captivated by the beauty and life of our true Irish Donegal Hedgerow.
Rich in dimension and personality, Hedgerow infuses plain stockinette fabric with its abundant charm. Originating from County Donegal, it showcases the area’s signature “burrs,” small, vibrant specks of fiber that pepper the yarn.
With 93% merino wool, 3.5% cashmere, and 3.5% mulberry silk, Hedgerow is softer in your hands than traditional Irish wool, but you’ll also enjoy its toothy feel and down-to-earth quality.
You need only two skeins of Hedgerow for a scarf, or four for a wrap, so cast on with lively Fuchsia Rose or elegant Woodpile Gray, like we did, or opt for another favorite from Hedgerow’s wonderfully inspiring palette!
