Sowing Seeds Wrap
Knitting is a craft where you happily reap what you sow in the form of something special that you made yourself. Combine velvety Santolina and smooth Cotton Pure with a satisfying double seed stitch, and the yield is the beautiful Sowing Seeds Wrap!
You’ll knit this easy, lightweight summer wrap pattern with our Sowing Seeds Wrap Bundle (no longer available), in a simple stitch pattern of knits and purls. The main yarn is Santolina, a lustrous, wonderfully wild mix of organically grown cotton, bamboo, and hemp, with narrow, contrasting stripes of matte Cotton Pure running along its length like furrows in a field.
Worked widthwise from the long edge, the knitted fabric has an intriguing handwoven sensibility, and the stitch pattern provides a satisfying knitting rhythm, planting seeds that germinate as you work the next row.
Elegant tassels sprout from the ends of each stripe. And, if you haven’t made a tassel before, we show you how… It’s fun and super easy!
We put together nine lovely Sowing Seeds Wrap Bundles (no longer available) to choose from, including this luminous combination of Santolina’s Sea Turtle and Cotton Pure’s Tomato Orange. You can also create your own version with four skeins of Santolina and one of Cotton Pure!
Cast on for our free Sowing Seeds Wrap knitting pattern and see your enjoyment flourish as you knit and wear it!

NOTES
CONSTRUCTION
You will knit this wrap lengthwise, casting on for the long edge.
STITCH MULTIPLE
This pattern is worked over an odd number of stitches.
PATTERN
With Yarn A, cast on 421 stitches. We used a basic Long Tail Cast On.
TIP: When you’re casting on so many stitches, it really helps to place a marker or piece of scrap yarn every 50 stitches. That way, when you lose count (which you will!), you won’t have to recount all the stitches. Just remember to remove these markers when you work the first row.
**Row 1 (wrong side): With Yarn A, *k1, p1, repeat from * to last stitch, k1.
Row 2 (right side): Repeat Row 1.
Row 3 : K2, *p1, k1 repeat from * to last stitch, k1.
Row 4: Repeat Row 3.
Repeat Rows 1–4 six more times, then repeat Rows 1 and 2 one more time.
Drop Yarn A, but do not cut.
Join Yarn B, leaving at least a 6-inch tail.
With Yarn B and carrying Yarn A up the side, repeat Rows 3 and 4.
Cut Yarn B, leaving at least a 6-inch tail.
Repeat from ** 3 more times, until piece measures approximately 14¼ inches from cast-on edge and you have four total stripes in Yarn B.
With Yarn A, repeat Rows 1–4 seven times, until piece measures approximately 3¼ inches from last Yarn B row.
Next Row (wrong side): Repeat Row 1 one more time.
With right side facing you, bind off in pattern as for Row 2.
FINISHING
Weave in Yarn A ends only, leaving Yarn B tails intact, and gently wet block to finished dimensions.
FRINGE
Cut 7 strands of Yarn B, each 12 inches long. With wrong side facing you, insert crochet hook into the edge stitch at the tail end of a Yarn B stripe. Holding cut strands of Yarn B together, fold them in half, and use hook to pull the fold a little bit through to wrong side of work, creating a loop. Thread yarn tails (including the ones from the Yarn B stripe) through the loop and pull gently to tighten.
Make fringe at the tail end of each Yarn B stripe, as described, then repeat along the other side of the wrap, but cutting 8 strands of Yarn B each time.
Trim fringe to 4 inches long on either side, and you’re done!
Learn About This Yarn Bundle + All Our Beautiful Yarns
We knit this project with two of our favorite plant-based yarns: gorgeous Santolina, a fingering-weight yarn that combines organically grown cotton, bamboo, and hemp, plus Cotton Pure, our sport-weight 100% organically grown cotton yarn. Santolina brings a subtle luster that contrasts beautifully with the matte finish of unmercerized Cotton Pure. Together, they are a super lovely warm-weather duo with a wonderfully soft touch!
