Rowan Kaffe's Wrap Trio eBook

Craft: Hand-knitting | Designer: Kaffe Fassett | Brand: Rowan | Format: Downloadable PDF Pattern Collection

Overview

This eBook contains three distinct hand-knit wrap designs created by renowned colorwork artist Kaffe Fassett, all worked in Rowan Felted Tweed and Felted Tweed Colour yarns. Each design showcases different knitting techniques and construction methods, offering varied approaches to creating elegant, wearable wraps suitable for layering and styling versatility.

Stacked Scarf

Description: A striped wrap featuring bold color blocking in a stacked pattern, creating visual interest through alternating yarn colors worked in horizontal stripes.

Finished Dimensions: 20 cm (7¾ inches) wide × 200 cm (78¾ inches) long

Techniques Used:

• Garter stitch (knit every row) throughout for a textured, reversible fabric
• Two-color stripe sequence worked in repeating 32-row blocks
• Simple cast-on and cast-off construction

Stitches: Garter stitch (g st)

Yarn: Rowan Felted Tweed Colour (50g balls) — 2 balls each of Agate 029 (Color A) and Jade 031 (Color B)

Needles: 4mm (US 6) straight needles

Tension: 20 stitches and 40 rows to 10 cm measured over garter stitch using 4mm needles

Pattern Notes: The stripe sequence repeats 25 times to achieve the full length. The garter stitch construction creates a fabric with excellent drape and reversibility, making this wrap equally attractive on both sides.

Slanted Wrap

Description: A shaped wrap featuring a gradient color transition and slanted construction created through strategic yarn-over and decrease placement, resulting in an asymmetrical silhouette.

Finished Dimensions: 22 cm (8¾ inches) wide × 200 cm (78¾ inches) long

Techniques Used:

• Incremental increases using yarn-overs (yfwd) to expand the wrap width gradually
• Knit through back loop (K1 tbl) stitches for textural definition at edges
• Yarn color changes integrated strategically to create a continuous gradient effect
• Decreases (K2tog) worked in combination with yarn-overs for shaping
• Garter stitch as the primary fabric structure

Stitches: Garter stitch (g st), yarn-overs (yfwd), knit through back loop (K1 tbl), knit two together (K2tog)

Yarn: Rowan Felted Tweed and Felted Tweed Colour (50g balls) — 1 ball of Felted Tweed Avocado 161 (Color A) and 4 balls of Felted Tweed Colour Chartreuse 028 (Color B)

Needles: 4mm (US 6) straight needles

Tension: 20 stitches and 40 rows to 10 cm measured over garter stitch using 4mm needles

Pattern Notes: This design begins with a small cast-on of 3 stitches and expands through paired yarn-overs on right-side rows. The pattern includes a color transition technique where new yarn balls are wound to match the previous row's color for seamless gradient effects. The slanted construction creates dynamic visual movement and an asymmetrical wrap shape.

Marble Wrap

Description: The third design in this collection features a marbled or mottled color effect, utilizing Rowan Felted Tweed Colour yarns to create an intricate, multi-tonal appearance.
