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.

The finished size after blocking is length 56” (142cm) by width 16” (40.5cm). The wrap can be made narrower or wider by completing less or more repeats of the lace chart.

The photographed sample was knit with 3.5mm (4US) straight needles (or 24” (60cm) circular) and 770m (840 yards) = 2 skeins of Mechita, Malabrigo (100% Merino Wool, fingering weight), 100 grams/385 meters (420 yards) per skein, in Frank Ochre (035) colour. However, there are many other wonderful colours.

Enjoy and happy knitting!
