Wrap yourself up to keep cozy as we head into fall and winter. This wrap is a fantastic project for newer knitters, and a great introduction to charts and patterns since the pattern always builds on the rows beneath it in a predictable way. Featuring the Cascade Yarns Aereo in Provence (just like the Harvest Poncho pattern also in this issue), this is one of our favorites for the new season.

Pattern Notes
The chart only shows the odd numbered rows.
Every stitch of every even sided row is knit.
If you can’t remember which side of the work you’re looking at, pick it up as if you’re ready to knit. If the diagonal lines of eyelets are going in the same direction as the chart (up and to the right), your next row is an odd number. If they are going the opposite direction as the chart (up and to the left), your next row is an even number.
The written pattern and the chart say exactly the same thing in two different ways (one with abbreviations, the other graphically). Pick whichever works best for you.
Both the chart and written instructions are for a 20-row repeat! Do not forget to knit Row 20 before moving on to doing Row 1 again.
Pattern
CO 52 sts.
Work patt either from the chart or written instructions, repeating the 20 rows until Scarf meas 72” long.
BO all sts.
Finishing
Weave in ends.
Hello, if I do this on a size 9 needle, can I just add an additional 10 stitch repeat to make up for the difference? I think I’d like a slightly smaller lace opening (hole)
Thank you.
From the designer: Absolutely, although that will make the fabric denser and either the scarf will be shorter or you may need more yarn!
Is there a PDF download for these patterns?
Hi! We don’t offer downloads for our patterns (currently) but you are welcome to print using your browser our our print icon on the left side of the screen.
You would be better off to highlight the part you want and select “print selection” or you’ll get a bunch of pages of comments you don’t need.
This is a good tip, otherwise using the print button on the left hand side of the screen will allow you to “print preview” and choose what you would like printed. Hope this helps.
Where are the abbreviations found for this pattern ?
Hi Lydia, we don’t seem to have a special abbreviations section for this particular pattern, but let me know if there is an abbreviation you would like figured out and I can assist! – Nicola, Editor
this looks very nice I would wear it and it looks like something that wouldn’t be too terribly difficult to make
Great comments for good questions! Appreciate your taking the time to answer. Being able to ask questions and get answers tells me this is a pattern is complete and I’m going to do this scarf
Hi Nicola,
I just want to say how very nice it is of you to have answered all questions so patiently. You’re very kind.
Sincerely
Malena
Where is the chart for the pattern?
Hello! Charts are always on the far right side of the pattern page underneath the photos. Here is a direct link to the charts as well: https://www.ilikeknitting.com/wp-content/uploads/Sweet-Cinnamon-Wrap-Chart.png
Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
Doesn’t ssk mean slip one knit one pass slipped stitch over otherwise you will end up Increasing stitches every row
Hello! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
No ssk is slip slip knit, the abbreviation you’re thinking of is sl1 k1 psso.
what does ssk mean, please?
Hi Debbie! ssk means “Slip Slip Knit”. Hope this helps! – Nicola, Editor
Is the complete pattern out there somewhere? How many times are the 20 rows repeated?
Hi Jody! Be sure to read the pattern notes, but I can also reach out to the designer if you have additional questions. The 20 rows are repeated until the scarf measures 72″ long. Hope that helps! – Nicola, Editor
How many stitches do you cast on?
Hello Edith! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
Hi Edith! You will need to CO 52 sts. You might have missed it about since it is below the Special Stitches and the Pattern Notes sections which come before the actual Pattern section. Happy knitting! – Nicola, Editor
Where is row 18?. It’s going row 17,19 and 20.
Thank you
Violet
Hello Violet! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
Hi Violet!
If you look at the beginning of the written instructions (I’ve copied them below for you) it says you knit row 2 and all even rows. So that’s what’s going on with row 18. The only reason the designer listed row 20 explicitly is that newer knitters don’t know that you need an even number of rows, don’t bother to do a final even row before restarting the pattern, and then end up accidentally switching which is the right side which messes up their knitting. This designer always lists the final row of a repeat to make sure newer knitters don’t make that mistake! Hope that helps!
