Wild Grass Wrap: Free Scarf Knitting Pattern

Введение

Wild Grass Wrap

Like a prairie, abundant with long stalks, feathery ends twisting in the wind, our Wild Grass Wrap pattern in Partridge is full of texture, movement, and beauty.

You work the gorgeous stitch pattern of this wrap with simple left and right twists… All the depth of cables, but no fussing with a stitch holder!

The down-to-earth beauty of Partridge brings the hearty pleasure of the natural world into each stitch. A 100% merino wool, this classic worsted weight is plump and soft with a fuzzy halo, all working together to keep you wrapped in warmth!

This single ply yarn has a satisfying density, and its tidy spin is a lovely choice for this textured fabric.

Our Lemon Tree is the perfect verdant yellow for the season, but the Wild Grass Wrap will be gorgeous in any of Partridge’s eighteen colors!

Materials

4 (8) skeins of Purl Soho’s Partridge, 100% merino wool yarn. Each skein of this worsted/aran-weight yarn is 131 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 465 (1010) yards required. We used the color Lemon Tree.
US 9 (5.5 mm), 16- or 24-inch circular needles

NOTE: Our original Partridge yarn has been updated to Partridge Superwash. This new superwash version only has 109 yards per skein, so you will need 5 (10) skeins of Partridge Superwash to make a Scarf (Wrap). The new yarn is also a touch thicker, so please do a gauge swatch to make sure you’re using needles that give you a nice fabric and expect slightly bigger finished dimensions.
