Edie Wrap in Rowan Kidsilk Haze Colour – Pattern Summary

The Edie Wrap is a beautifully elongated knitted wrap designed by Lisa Richardson and published by Rowan. Available as a downloadable PDF (pattern reference ZB313-00001-DEP), this pattern produces a luxurious, lightweight scarf-style wrap that is as elegant to wear as it is satisfying to knit. The finished piece measures approximately 58 cm wide and 230 cm long, making it a generously sized wrap suitable for draping over the shoulders or wearing as a statement scarf.

Design Overview

The Edie Wrap is a single-design pattern focused on one stunning accessory. Its construction combines a central garter stitch panel with decorative lace panels worked simultaneously on either side, creating a structured yet delicate fabric with beautiful visual texture. The wrap is worked flat, back and forth in rows, from one short end to the other, with stitch markers used to separate the central panel from the lace sections.

The design was photographed in Rose 006, showcasing the soft, romantic quality of the yarn and the way the lace motifs catch the light. The combination of the central garter section and the flanking lace charts gives the wrap a refined, symmetrical appearance that suits both casual and dressed-up occasions.

Techniques Used

• Flat knitting – the wrap is worked back and forth in rows rather than in the round
• Garter stitch – the central 88 stitches are worked continuously in garter stitch (knit every row), providing a firm, reversible, and slightly textured foundation
• Lace knitting – decorative lace panels are worked from charts on both the right-hand and left-hand sides of the central panel, adding openwork detail and visual interest
• Chart reading – the pattern uses written stitch charts for both the right and left lace panels, requiring the knitter to follow separate chart instructions for right-side and wrong-side rows
• Stitch markers – a stitch marker is placed on the needle to separate the central garter section from the lace panels, and is slipped on every row
• Blocking and steaming – the finished wrap is finished by steaming, as directed on the Rowan information page, to open up the lace and set the stitches to their final dimensions

Stitches Used

• Garter stitch – knit every row on both right-side and wrong-side rows across the central 88 stitches
• Lace pattern stitches – worked from the right and left lace stitch charts, incorporating yarn overs and decreases to form the openwork motif
• Cast on and cast off – stitches are cast on using standard methods and all stitches are cast off knitwise at the end of the pattern

Pattern Structure and Repeat

The lace pattern is worked over a 28-row repeat, which is worked a total of 29 times throughout the length of the wrap. The final row of the right-hand lace chart is worked as a plain knit row before all stitches are cast off. This long repeat count is what produces the impressive 230 cm finished length, giving the wrap its dramatic, flowing proportions.

Row 1 (right side) begins by working Row 1 of the right lace chart, placing a stitch marker, knitting the central 88 stitches in garter stitch, then working Row 1 of the left lace chart. Row 2 (wrong side) mirrors this sequence in reverse. This structure is maintained consistently throughout the entire length of the wrap.
