Hollyhock Wrap
With its columns of bobbles and sprays of eyelets, our Hollyhock Wrap knitting pattern, designed by Catherine Li-Abrams, brings the beauty of this dramatic flower to your needles!
Catherine’s wrap elegantly combines an array of techniques to keep you as busy as a bee. Engaging and exciting, it still has enough repetition that you can relax into the knitting.
From bobbles and a bit of lace to a mini herringbone, if any of the stitches are new to you, our tutorials throughout the pattern will help your knitting bloom!
Catherine designed the Hollyhock Wrap to grow from a point into a triangle. Once at its full width, the length of the piece continues in herringbone stitch. You’ll work a second triangle and graft the two pieces together, then add a lovely tassel for the final touch.
Our Sweetgrass yarn, with its palette of undyed neutrals and incredibly soft feel, is a wonderful complement to this gorgeous design. Sixty-five percent organic cotton and 35% superfine alpaca, this yarn is both elegant and warm. Knit with two strands held together, the Hollyhock Wrap uses just four skeins of this natural beauty!

NOTES
CONSTRUCTION
You will work this wrap flat in two pieces, beginning with one Bobble Lace Triangle and knitting to end of Center Panel. You will put these stitches on hold, then cast on and work one more Bobble Lace Triangle. You will graft the two pieces together with Kitchener Stitch, then make and attach tassels to each tip of the wrap to finish.
YARN DOUBLED
Throughout this pattern, you will pull two strands together. The easiest way to do this is to wind two skeins into separate balls, or you can wind one skein into a center-pull ball and pull one strand from the inside and one from the outside.
HERRINGBONE STITCH
Worked over a multiple of 3 stitches plus 1.
Row 1 (right side): K1, *yarn over (yo), [slip 1 knitwise, k2, pass slipped stitch over], repeat from * to end of row.
Row 2 (wrong side): P1, *yo, [slip 1 purlwise, p2, pass slipped stitch over], repeat from * to end of row.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 for pattern.
MB (MAKE BOBBLE)
[Knit front and back] 2 times into next stitch, then knit into front one more time. Turn work so wrong side is facing you, purl 2 together (p2tog), p1, p2tog. Turn work so right side is facing you, knit 3 together. Fluff bobble, if necessary.
M1LP (MAKE 1 LEFT PURLWISE)
With wrong side facing you, use left needle to pick up horizontal strand between last stitch you knit and next stitch, bringing needle from front to back, then purl through back loop of strand. For more information, visit our Make 1 Purlwise Tutorial.

Using a piece of cardboard that is 7½ inches long by at least 4 inches wide, hold yarn double and wrap it 80 times the long way around the cardboard. Visit our Tassel Tutorial to finish. Make an identical second tassel and use the tails to attach each tassel to the cast-on points of each Triangle.
Gently steam tassels and enjoy your wrap!
Learn About Sweetgrass + All Our Beautiful Yarns
Sweetgrass brings true natural beauty to this project! A mix of 65% organic cotton and 35% superfine alpaca, Sweetgrass comes in 6 undyed colors, each one reflecting the color of the alpacas who grew the fiber… Amazing! And when that alpaca fiber is mixed with creamy white cotton, you get a soft and lovely heathered quality that adds depth and fascination to the yarn. A fingering-weight yarn, Sweetgrass is absolutely beautiful for three-season scarves, sweaters, and sweet hats, or double it for super cabin-y blankets. At 437 yards per skein, you’ll go far with just a few skeins!
