Sirdar Soukie DK Shawl and Wrap – Pattern 7093: Full Summary

Pattern 7093 from Sirdar is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern offering two distinct accessories in one: a Wrap and a Shawl, both worked in Sirdar Soukie DK yarn. These are elegant, wearable pieces designed for knitters who enjoy textured lace and simple shaping, making them ideal projects for intermediate knitters looking to create a stylish, handcrafted accessory.

The Wrap

What Is Being Made

The Wrap is a long, rectangular accessory measuring approximately 40 x 150 cm (15¾ x 59 inches). Its generous length makes it versatile — it can be draped over the shoulders, wound loosely around the neck, or styled in multiple ways for warmth and elegance.

Techniques and Construction

The Wrap is worked flat using a thumb method cast-on of 61 stitches. Construction is straightforward and linear, beginning with several rows of garter stitch as a foundation before transitioning into the main textured pattern. The piece is worked over a substantial number of rows to achieve its finished length, with the pattern repeat maintained consistently throughout.

Stitches Used

• Garter stitch — every row knitted, used as a border and foundation
• Honeycomb lace pattern — the primary decorative stitch, created using yarn forward (yfwd) increases combined with k2tog decreases to form an open, repeating lace texture
• k2tog (knit two together) — a right-leaning decrease used within the lace repeat
• yfwd (yarn forward) — creates an eyelet or yarn-over, forming the lace holes characteristic of honeycomb lace

Tension

The Wrap is worked to a tension of 15 stitches and 19 rows to 10 cm (4 inches) over the honeycomb lace pattern on 6mm needles. Achieving the correct tension is essential to ensure the wrap reaches its intended dimensions.

Materials for the Wrap

• Yarn: Sirdar Soukie DK, shade 174 — 6 x 50g balls
• Needles: 6mm (UK4 / USA10) knitting needles, or a 6mm 80cm circular needle if preferred

The Shawl

What Is Being Made

The Shawl is a larger, triangular or shaped accessory measuring approximately 150 x 72 cm (59 x 28¼ inches). Its substantial size makes it a true statement piece — generous enough to wrap fully around the shoulders as a shawl or styled as a dramatic wrap for cooler evenings.

Techniques and Construction

The Shawl begins with a much larger cast-on of 268 stitches and is shaped through consistent decreasing across multiple rows. The shaping is achieved by working k2tog decreases at regular intervals, reducing the stitch count progressively to create the tapered, shaped silhouette typical of a classic shawl. The construction works from the widest point inward, narrowing toward a finished point or edge. A slip stitch decrease (s1, k2tog, psso) is used at the very end to close off the final stitches neatly.

The Shawl is finished with a fringe worked all around the edge, adding a decorative, tactile border that enhances the drape and visual appeal of the finished piece. Fringe is a classic finishing technique for shawls and wraps — lengths of yarn are folded and looped through the edge stitches to create evenly spaced tassels.

Stitches Used

• Garter stitch — used as a structural element throughout
• k2tog (knit two together) — the
