Ticking Ribbed Wrap: Free Scarf Knitting Pattern

Введение

Ticking Ribbed Wrap

Ticking fabric was traditionally tightly woven so not even the most ambitious feather tip could escape the mattress or chair it covered. Knit in our 100% merino Line Weight yarn, Katrina Walser’s Ticking Ribbed Wrap pattern puts a much softer spin on the iconic stripes of that classic fabric.

For knitting that is equal parts relaxing and interesting, Katrina designed this wrap in a wonderfully simple and rhythmic slip-stitch pattern.

Once you knit the body of the piece in our soft and supple Line Weight, you switch to Quartz and use a crochet hook to attach the fringe, adding a touch more color and texture… And a lot of beauty!

Line Weight is a delicate single ply whose loose twist lets you feel the exquisite softness of the merino fiber. It knits into a light fabric that blooms and relaxes when hand washed.

With its two plies and merino-suri mix, Quartz has a bit more strength, for a fringe less prone to felting or unraveling.

We’ve put together seven gorgeous Ticking Ribbed Wrap Bundles for this wrap, each with four skeins of Line Weight (2 skeins for the scarf version) and one of Quartz in the same color family. Soft and cozy, with character and beauty, this wrap ticks all the boxes for us!

**Cut three 8½ inch long pieces of Yarn B. With wrong side facing you, insert crochet hook into corner, just above cast-on edge. Holding strands of Yarn B together, fold them in half, creating a loop. Use hook to pull loop a little bit through to wrong side of work. Thread yarn tails through the loop and pull gently to tighten***.

Repeat from ** to *** across length of cast-on edge, inserting the crochet hook 2-3 stitches away from the previous fringe, or desired spacing. Repeat again for bind-off edge.

Trim fringe so it’s even, and you’re done!
