Wrap in Twilleys Freedom Wool - Downloadable PDF

Twilleys Freedom Wool Wrap – Free Knitting Pattern Summary

This free downloadable knitting pattern was launched as part of Wool Week and invites knitters to create a cosy pure wool wrap designed to keep you warm through the winter months. The finished piece is a generously sized rectangular wrap, measuring approximately 61 x 142 cm (24 x 56 inches), knitted in a single piece from cast-on to cast-off. The pattern is rated as intermediate in difficulty, making it an excellent project for knitters who are comfortable with basic stitches and are ready to explore simple lace-style detailing within a larger, satisfying project.

What Is Being Made

The finished item is a large rectangular wrap — sometimes called a stole or oblong shawl — intended to be worn draped around the shoulders or wrapped around the body for warmth. Its generous dimensions make it a truly wearable, practical accessory. The pattern notes that the length should be measured while the knitting hangs from the needles, as it would in wear, rather than laid flat, which ensures the finished wrap drapes beautifully and achieves the intended measurements.

Construction and Techniques

The wrap is knitted in one piece, which means there are no seams to sew up at the end — a great advantage for those who prefer a seamless finish. The construction is straightforward and repetitive, making it an enjoyable project to work on once the pattern repeat is established.

• Cast on: 51 stitches using 12mm needles
• Working method: Flat knitting, back and forth in rows
• Pattern repeat: A six-stitch lace panel is repeated six times across the row, framed by a moss stitch border on each side
• Right-side rows feature the decorative lace detailing, while alternate (wrong-side) rows are worked as straightforward knit and purl rows to create the fabric reverse

Stitches Used

The wrap combines a small selection of stitches to create an elegant, textured fabric with a delicate lace panel running through the body of the piece.

• Knit (K) and Purl (P) — the foundational stitches used throughout
• Moss stitch border — worked as [K1, P1] along the edges on every row, giving the wrap a neat, non-curling selvedge
• Yarn Round Needle (yrn) — used to create decorative eyelets, forming the lace pattern within the body of the wrap
• Slip 1, K1, Pass Slipped Stitch Over (sl 1, K1, psso) — a left-leaning decrease paired with the yarn-over to form the lace detail without adding extra stitches
• Purl 6 (P6) — worked on wrong-side rows across the lace panel sections to maintain the stitch count and fabric structure

The combination of yrn and sl 1, K1, psso is a classic lace technique: the yarn-over creates a new stitch and an eyelet hole, while the paired decrease removes a stitch to keep the total count consistent. This produces a simple but effective lace stripe that adds visual interest to what would otherwise be a plain fabric.

Materials Required

The pattern is designed primarily for Twilleys Freedom Wool, a super chunky pure wool yarn sold in 50g balls, and the sample was photographed in shade 1119 Moonlight. You will need 10 balls of Twilleys Freedom Wool to complete the wrap.

The pattern also lists two suitable alternative yarns for knitters who cannot source the primary yarn:

• Wendy Serenity Super Chunky (100g balls) — 7 balls required
• Robin Super Chunky (100g balls) — 7 balls required

All three yarns are super chunky weight, which means the project knits up quickly on large needles — ideal for those who want a satisfying, fast-growing knit.
