Wraps Knitted in King Cole Harvest DK – Pattern 5784: Complete Summary

This downloadable PDF pattern from King Cole presents four distinct wrap and scarf designs, all knitted in King Cole Harvest DK yarn. Suitable for intermediate knitters, the collection offers a range of styles — from simple tubular constructions to elegant lace-edged accessories — making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to expand their knitting repertoire with beautiful, wearable pieces.

About the Yarn and Needles

All four designs are worked in King Cole Harvest DK, a double knit weight yarn. The recommended tension is 22 stitches and 28 rows to 10cm (4 inches) over stocking stitch, achieved using 4mm knitting needles, or the needle size required to obtain the correct tension. As with all knitting projects, achieving the stated tension swatch is essential before beginning, and knitters are advised to adjust needle size accordingly — moving to a finer needle if too few stitches are produced, or a larger needle if too many.

Design 1: Pull Through Scarf

The Pull Through Scarf is a cleverly constructed accessory that features a built-in slit or opening, allowing one end of the scarf to be threaded through and held neatly in place without the need for tying. This style is both practical and contemporary, sitting flat and securely around the neck.

Techniques and Stitches

• Stocking stitch (St-St): alternating knit and purl rows to create a smooth, classic fabric
• Basic increasing and decreasing techniques to shape the scarf
• Construction of a pull-through opening within the knitted fabric
• Standard cast-on and cast-off methods

Design 2: Tube Scarf

The Tube Scarf is knitted to form a seamless or seamed cylindrical shape, creating a cosy, double-layered accessory that drapes beautifully around the neck. Tube scarves are popular for their warmth and neat finish, as no wrong side is visible when worn.

Techniques and Stitches

• Stocking stitch worked to create a fabric that rolls or is seamed into a tube
• Seaming or joining techniques to close the tube construction
• Garter stitch (G-St) may be incorporated for edging or stability — every row knitted
• Basic knit (K) and purl (P) stitches throughout

Design 3: Lace Edged Wrap

The Lace Edged Wrap is an elegant, generously sized accessory featuring a decorative lace border that adds a delicate, feminine finish. Lace knitting involves working yarn forward (yfwd) increases paired with decreases such as knit two together (tog) or pass slipped stitch over (psso) to create an openwork pattern. The body of the wrap provides warmth while the lace edging elevates it into a refined, versatile piece suitable for both casual and dressier occasions.

Techniques and Stitches

• Lace edging using yarn forward (yfwd) to create decorative eyelets
• Pass slipped stitch over (psso) and knit together (tog) decreases to maintain stitch count within the lace pattern
• Slip stitch (s1 — slipped knitways) for neat lace construction
• Stocking stitch for the main wrap body
• 1x1 Rib: alternating K1, P1 for any ribbed sections or borders
• Make one (M1) increases: picking up the loop between stitches for invisible shaping

Design 4: Lace and Textured Wrap

The Lace and Textured Wrap is the most intricate of the four designs
