Rowan Coleman Street Wrap Knitting Pattern

Rowan Coleman Street Wrap by Georgia Farrell

What is Being Made

The Coleman Street Wrap is a knitted shawl and wrap design created by Georgia Farrell for Rowan Yarns. This finished wrap measures 54 cm (21¼ inches) wide, making it a versatile accessory suitable for layering and everyday wear. The pattern is available in two colorway options: a single-color version and a sophisticated four-color striped version.

Yarn and Materials

The Coleman Street Wrap is crafted using Rowan Alpaca Classic, a luxurious yarn blend that provides softness and drape ideal for wrap construction.

• One Colour Version: 12 x 25gm balls (photographed in Hyacinth 129)
• Four Colour Version: 4 x 25gm each of Deep Teal 109 (A), Ice Blue 131 (B), Willow 112 (C), and Foliage Green 110 (D)

Knitters will need one pair of 3¾mm (US 5) needles to complete this project. The recommended tension is 23 stitches and 31 rows to 10 cm measured over pattern using 3¾mm needles.

Techniques Used

The Coleman Street Wrap employs seamless construction, allowing knitters to create a continuous, polished garment without the need for seaming. The wrap is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, making it accessible to knitters of varying experience levels. The design incorporates striped patterning throughout, with the four-color version offering a more complex color progression.

Stitches and Stitch Pattern

The wrap features a repeating pattern based on fundamental knitting stitches: knit (K) and purl (P). The stitch pattern creates a textured, reversible fabric through strategic placement of knit and purl stitches in alternating rows. The pattern repeats establish a rhythmic sequence where purl sections gradually shift in width relative to knit sections across successive rows, creating visual interest and dimension. Edge stitches (K2 at the beginning and end of rows) maintain neat selvage edges throughout the wrap. This combination of basic stitches creates an elegant, sophisticated fabric suitable for a wrap garment.
