Product Description
A Scottish Woodland Wrap is a gorgeous take on lace and cable knitting inspired by the twisting knots of tree roots and their branches in the woodland in Scotland where the designer lives.
This wrap uses 770m (840 yards) of fingering weight yarn.
The pattern includes a chart for the lace and cable work. The even rows of the lace is worked in plain purl. The lace and cable stitches involved include:
- yarn over
- k2tog / p2tog
- ssk / ssp
- sl1-k2tog-psso
- knit through back loop / purl through back of loop
- Place 2 sts on cable needle put to back, k1 through back loop, from cable needle, p1, k1 through back loop
- Place 1 st on cable needle put to front, k1 through back loop, p1, from cable needle, k1 through back loop
It is knitted flat as a long rectangle with a simple rib stitch (k1, p1) border along the bottom and top edges. There is a narrow garter stitch edging along the side edges.
Scottish Woodland Wrap
What is Being Made
The Scottish Woodland Wrap is a fingering weight knitted shawl designed by Fiona Munro from MunroSisters3. This downloadable knitting pattern creates a rectangular wrap measuring 56 inches (142cm) in length and 16 inches (40.5cm) in width, making it an elegant accessory suitable for layering or draping.
Craft and Techniques
This is a knitting project classified at intermediate difficulty level. The wrap employs multiple advanced knitting techniques to create visual interest and texture. The design incorporates lace knitting, which creates openwork patterns through strategic yarn overs and decreases, allowing fabric to drape beautifully. Additionally, cable knitting is featured, a technique where stitches are crossed over one another to form twisted, rope-like patterns that add dimension and sophistication to the finished piece.
The wrap is constructed with garter stitch edges worked throughout, providing a neat, finished border that frames the more intricate lace and cable sections. This combination of techniques requires knitters to follow charted instructions carefully while maintaining consistent stitch tension across different pattern types.
Stitches Used
- Lace stitches created through yarn overs and decreases (detailed in the Lace Chart covering rows 1-56)
- Cable stitches formed by crossing stitches (detailed in the Cable Chart covering rows 1-28)
- Garter stitch for edge borders, worked continuously throughout the piece
Materials and Tools
The Scottish Woodland Wrap requires 770 meters (840 yards) of fingering weight yarn. The sample was knitted using 2 skeins of Mechita by Malabrigo, a 100% Merino Wool yarn with 100 grams and 385 meters (420 yards) per skein, in the Frank Ochre (035) colourway. Merino wool provides softness, breathability, and excellent drape for lace shawlettes.
Knitters will need 3.5mm (US 4) circular needles measuring 24 inches (60cm) in length, or needles sized to obtain the specified gauge. Additional tools include a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats, and pins for the blocking process, which is essential for opening up the lace and cable patterns to their full potential.
Gauge
The pattern specifies a gauge of 24 stitches and 28 rows over 4 inches (10cm) when measured in the lace pattern. Achieving correct gauge is critical for this intermediate project to ensure the finished wrap meets the intended dimensions and drapes properly.
