Raised Ridge Wrap
Knitting with a laceweight yarn doesn’t have to be fancy. In fact, it can be totally fancy free. Far from the world of purling two together through the back loop, our Raised Ridge Wrap knitting pattern hardly requires a second thought… But it does whisper beauty!
An exercise in economy, this featherweight wrap is nothing more than stockinette stitch in our Sweetgrass Fine yarn, interrupted every now and then by a slightly weightier garter stitch ridge in our original Sweetgrass.
A blend of organic cotton and superfine alpaca, Sweetgrass‘s palette is a range of gentle undyed neutrals. The subtlety lies in using two different shades so that the shifts of color and texture play like ripples in the sand or breezes across a field.
Choose one shade of both yarns, available in five color combos, each as beautiful as nature grew it!

Picking Up Stitches
For assistance with this technique, please see our tutorial for picking up stitches along a vertical edge within our Picking Up Stitches Tutorial.
Carrying Up Yarn A
When working rows with Yarn B, carry Yarn A up the selvage. To do this, bring the old yarn up from under the new yarn so that A is in front of B. As you knit the first stitch of the row, Yarn B will catch up Yarn A so that it gets carried along until you need it again. At the end, you will pick up and knit along this edge in order to tidy it up, so don’t worry too much about that!
Pattern
With Yarn A and using a basic Long Tail Cast On, cast on 120 stitches.
Set-Up Row (wrong side): With Yarn A, knit to end of row.
**Row 1 (right side): With Yarn B, knit to end of row, carrying up Yarn A with the first stitch (see Note).
Row 2 (wrong side): With Yarn B, purl to end of row.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 four more times.
Rows 3 and 4: With Yarn A, knit to end of row.
Repeat from ** until piece measures 76 inches long, ending with Row 4.
With Yarn A and the right side facing you, bind off knitwise, leaving the final bound off stitch on the needle.
Left Selvage Edge
With Yarn A and the right side facing you, turn the piece 90 degrees clockwise, then pick up and knit along the left selvage edge. Pick up every other stitch along the stockinette sections and one stitch from the garter stripes: 6 stitches per each repeat, approximately 421 total stitches.
Next Row (wrong side): Continuing with Yarn A, knit to end of row.
With Yarn A and the right side facing you, bind off loosely knitwise.
Cut Yarn A.
Right Selvage Edge
With the right side facing you, start at the cast-on edge of the opposite selvage and with Yarn A, pick up and knit as for other side.
Next Row (wrong side): Continuing with Yarn A, knit to end of row.
With Yarn A and the right side facing you, bind off loosely knitwise.
Cut Yarn A.
Weave in the ends and block as desired.
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!
