Audrey Wrap Knitting Pattern in Adriafil Bi-Use – Free Downloadable PDF

The Audrey Wrap is a striking, generously sized knitted wrap designed to showcase the unique dual-nature properties of Adriafil Bi-Use yarn. Finished at 110 cm wide and 60 cm long, this wrap is an impressive accessory piece that works up quickly thanks to its super chunky weight yarn and large needles. The pattern is available as a free downloadable PDF, making it an accessible project for knitters who want to explore textural contrast and interesting shaping techniques.

About the Design

What makes the Audrey Wrap particularly special is its clever construction and the way it exploits the two distinct working methods of Adriafil Bi-Use yarn. The wrap features a shaped, pointed tip at one end that gradually widens into a broad rectangular body, creating an elegant silhouette with a naturally tapered focal point. A neat Moss stitch border is added along the upper side edges to frame the piece and add a refined finishing detail. A decorative fringe is tied at the tip using short cut lengths of yarn, giving the wrap a polished, intentional finish.

Techniques Used

• Tip shaping with paired increases: The wrap begins with a single cast-on stitch and is shaped by working alternating increases — 3 times, 1 stitch at both edges every 2 rows, followed by 6 times, 1 stitch at both edges every 3 rows — to form the distinctive pointed tip over the first 30 cm of the piece.
• Casting on additional stitches mid-project: Once the tip section reaches 30 cm, 11 extra stitches are cast on at each edge simultaneously, creating the full width of the wrap body in a single step.
• Straight knitting for the body: After the additional stitches are cast on, the work continues straight across all stitches until the total length reaches 60 cm, at which point all stitches are bound off.
• Picking up stitches for the border: 22 stitches are picked up along the side edges of the 30 cm tip section at the upper edge, and a short Moss stitch border of 5 rows is worked before binding off. This technique creates a neat, integrated edging without seaming.
• Fringe finishing: Two 25 cm lengths of yarn are cut and tied directly to the tip of the wrap to create a simple decorative fringe.

Stitches Used

• Method 2 – Main body stitch: Adriafil Bi-Use yarn contains a fleecy component that, when worked using Method 2, produces a distinct textural result suited to the main body of the wrap. This method gives a gauge of 4 stitches and 8 rows to 10 x 10 cm, reflecting the super chunky, open character of the fabric produced.
• Method 1 – Moss stitch: The border is worked in traditional Moss stitch using Method 1, which works the yarn in the conventional manner and produces a denser, more structured fabric. The gauge for this method is 8 stitches and 14 rows to 10 x 10 cm, noticeably tighter than Method 2, which highlights how dramatically the same yarn can behave differently depending on how it is used.

Understanding Adriafil Bi-Use Yarn

Adriafil Bi-Use is a uniquely engineered super chunky weight yarn that, as its name suggests, can be used in two distinct ways to achieve very different fabric textures and gauges from a single ball. This dual-use quality makes it an ideal choice for designs like the Audrey Wrap, where contrasting textures within the same project add visual interest and depth. The yarn is specified here in orange multi, shade 64, a vibrant, multicoloured colourway that adds warmth and character to the finished wrap.
