Honeycomb Wrap
Inspired by the traditions of the Aran Islands, our Honeycomb Wrap pattern hones in on one of the most common stitch patterns of the style. This simple cable stitch pattern creates a distinctive texture, deep with associations and beauty.
And in a wonderful melding of cultures, we knit up our Aran-style wrap in our Peruvian Good Wool yarn, straight from the Andean highlands. It is just as good as its Irish cousins at creating well-defined stitches and textures, and it also happens to be soft, lofty, and super affordable!
We used Heirloom White to pay homage to traditional fishermen sweaters and to the knitters who made them, but we’re pretty sure they’d be honored to see this Honeycomb Wrap in Good Wool’s other beautiful undyed colors, too!
As mesmerizing to look at as it is to knit, this pattern moves right past the cast on into the little, deep pockets that form the all-over comb motif. It’s the kind of knitting that is at once enthralling and calming. And in the end, you’ll have knit a scarf just as heirloom-worthy as what inspired it!
