Peppered Stripes Wrap
For a small design team, a surprising number of us collect vintage linen tea towels. The soft, hearty weave of vintage homespun linen is irresistible, and our love for it demanded a hand-knit translation!
I turned to the aptly named Linen Stitch to imitate the flat, sturdy nature of vintage tea towels and paired it with our sumptuous sportweight Cashmere Merino Bloom. Obviously, this project would not be for drying dishes and cleaning spills!
For the majority of our Peppered Stripes Wrap we used soft and creamy Heirloom White. Peppered throughout, we placed peppery stripes, formed by alternating rows of our helix spun color, Salt + Pepper.
Yarn lovers, if you adore the yarn used in this project, you’ll love exploring all of our other yarn collections! Discover over 45 thoughtfully designed yarns in nearly every natural fiber and in every spectacular color you can imagine. Only available here at Purl Soho’s online yarn store, where every skein is created with care and your creativity in mind!
It seems that whatever the fiber inspiration, there’s a way to knit it. Our Peppered Stripes Wrap perfectly channels the woven heirloom feeling of vintage tea towels, but in a cozy cashmere-blend that is much happier around your neck than in the kitchen! -Laura

Hi Dianne! Thanks for writing in! We have a great tutorial on weaving in your ends here. Take a look and let us know if you have any questions!
Thanks!
Keith
I am a beginning knitter…for many years now 🙁 I can knit and purl. Do you have a video tutorial that shows how to knit and purl the yarn in the front and back? I’d love to make this. If I can determine that it’s easy enough to do, I’ll order the beautiful yarn. Thank you.
Hi Melissa,
Great question! We do not have a video for knitting and purling with yarn in the front in front and back. I find that it sometimes helps to say the instructions out loud as you do them and you get the hang of it. If you are still having difficulty, I would suggest checking YouTube.
I hope that this helps and happy knitting!
Cassy
I am *confident* that somebody who knows knit and purl can do Linen Stitch! But I’m concerned that the answer you already got might be confusing — this pattern doesn’t involve any knitting or purling into the back loop! All it requires is basic knit, basic purl, and slipping stitches (paying attention to where the yarn is when you do so).
You can find lots of great video tutorials for Linen Stitch on YouTube (search: “knitting linen stitch”). My personal favorite is the one by Very Pink.
Note that this pattern adds one extra (simple) maneuver to basic linen stitch: there is a selvage stitch at the beginning and end of each row, to make the edges look nice. On the wrong side, these aren’t worked any differently, but on the right side they’re the “slip 1 knitwise wyib” stitches. Again, searching YouTube for “knitting slip knitwise” will bring up lots of help.
Also, it might help to know that “wyib” is the normal place your yarn would be when making knit stitches, while “wyif” is the normal place your yarn would be when making purl stitches (we just usually don’t specify in those cases, because it’s the default).
Thanks Julia! Such a great help!
Best,
Cassy
Lovely scarf, Laura! I love the texture of it too. Adding this to my project list!
Kiersten
I love it, and I will certainly knit this beauty promptly! however I’m planning to use yarn from my stash… would you please by chance let me know how much exactly you used for the alternate colour (CC). Thank you so much for all you wonderful patterns , tutorials and kind pieces of advice!
Hi Martine,
Thanks for writing in and sorry for the late reply! We were deliberating and the person who knit the scarf says you use half the skein of the CC for this scarf. Best of luck and happy knitting!
-Adam
thank you very much
Beautiful scarf! If I only want to do a 10″ wide scarf, what would be the cast-on? Is it odd or multiples of 5? Thanks.
Hi Sally! If you achieve the listed gauge in the pattern, you could comfortably cast on 61 stitches to shorten the width of the wrap to a 10 inch scarf.
Thanks for writing in!
Keith
If you were doing only a 10 inch wide scarf would 3 skeins of the main color be enough?
Hi Betsy,
Great question! Three skeins of the main color should work well for a 10 inch version of this lovely wrap!
Happy knitting!
Cassy
This is a beautiful scarf. Is the yarn held double throughout?
Thank you
Hi Maureen!
This project uses two colors of our new Cashmere Merino Bloom and is held single throughout!
Thanks for writing!
Keith
This is SO gorgeous and I’m definitely going to have to do this!
I had a few clarifying questions:
In this particular case, the main colour (MC) refers to the one-colour linen stitch and the contrast colour (CC) refers to the two-colour linen stitch, right? (sorry to be so daft, but getting a bit confused). If I wanted to do this pattern with just two contrasting block colours, then I could just read it as MC = white and CC = pink (for example)?
In row 1, when you slip 1 wyib – is that slip 1 knitwise or purlwise?
Thanks very much!
Hi Jamie,
Thank you for the lovely comment! In this pattern the white yarn is the MC and the the marled yarn is the CC. So, if you wanted a white body with pink stripes, you would consider white at MC and pink as CC. As for slipping stitches, all stitches in this pattern are slipped purlwise unless otherwise indicated. So, the only time you slip knitwise is in row 2. I hope this clears things up and that you’re now ready to tackle this pattern!
Best,
Adam
Hi Adam,
Awesome, thanks so much. I get it now and definitely ready to tackle this! Love it!!
The photos seem to show that the scarf is reversible; can you confirm?
Hi Lynn,
It absolutely is! With the linen stitch, you can wear the item on either size. One side with be more dimensional and one side is flatter but both are equally lovely!
Best,
Cassy
Hello!
This wrap looks lovely. I’d like to make mittens to match it. Winters get pretty cold up here in Montreal. How would you knit the 2-colors linen stitch in the round?
Thank you so much!
Fannie
Hi Fannie,
Thanks for writing us! The pattern for linen stitch in the round is as follows:
Linen stitch in the round: Worked over an even number of stitches.
Round 1: *K 1, slip 1 with yarn in front; Repeat from * around.
Round 2: *Slip 1 with yarn in front, K 1; Repeat from * around.
I hope this helps! Let us know if you have questions!
-Adam
Hi, I would like to use this pattern for a baby blanket. What would the cast on be …multiples of______plus ______ stitches for edges.
ThankYou!
Hi Jan,
Thanks for writing in! Unfortunately I can’t give you a solid cast on amount if I don’t know the dimensions you want. Based on the pattern gauge, a blanket 30″ in width will take a cast on of roughly 180. As for the amount you’ll need, a baby blanket in this weight yarn would usually take six to seven skeins. Hope all this helps!
-Adam
Do you sell other yarns that would work with this pattern? I was interested in making it with a contrasting red yarn.
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for writing in! I think red as a contrast would be beautiful! Our Flax Down would make a great substitution and comes in a great red called Kiln Red.
Let us know how it turns out!
Cassy
Hi Cassy, would I need to modify the number of skeins used if I were to also make the scarf out of a flax down? Thanks in advance 🙂
Hi Teri,
Thanks for the question! Our lovely Flax Down has 219 yards per skein and the Cashmere Merino Bloom has 218 yards. Therefore you will need the same number of skeins of each color to make this scarf out of Flax Down.
Let us know how it turns out!
Cassy
Thanks Cassy – would I use the same needle size? I just ordered my yarn and can’t wait to get it!
Hi Teri,
You’ve got it! I would use the same needle size and it should come out great!
Best,
Cassy
I’d always heard that the edges of linen stitch curled, so have never tried using it for a scarf. Please can you tell me if this scarf pattern lies flat? If it does, I’ll get started.
Thank you.
Hi Rosamond,
Thanks for writing in! I’ve knit many things in linen stitch and it’s never curled on me. The scarf in the shop lies flat and I think yours will too!
Best of luck and happy knitting!
-Adam
Does the CC have to be marled in order to achieve the look? Or is it achieved with the alternating rows? Thanks!
Hi Angela,
Thanks for writing in! The texture of this stitch does impart a different look than say stockinette. However, to get the look that we are achieving here in the stripes, you will need to use a marled yarn. We love the play here that is achieved by using the solid and then the marled yarn that has one ply the same color as the solid yarn. That said, using other color combinations could be lovely as well although I think that the play between the stripes and the body would look a little different!
Best,
Cassy
this is sharp looking…must finish the camel hair scarf for my daughter… I must concentrate on knitting…..
I am an experienced knitter, but I seem to be making some error in this stitch and would appreciate any guidance. My swatch comes out like a mini finger warmer – somehow, I create a pocket/tube out of the stitches. I have watched Youtube to see how the stitch is done, but keep making the same little pocket and not a flat piece for the swatch. Thank you for any help!
Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for the question. You are doing a form of double knitting and this is happening because you are slipping one side with the yarn in back and one with the yarn in front. On the linen stitch you are supposed to slip with yarn in back for the wrong and right sides. I hope this clears up your problem!
-Adam
Adam,
Thank you for your response and for letting me know what I am doing wrong. I am still a little confused by your answer. The pattern instructions indicate slipping wyif on row 2 for all stitches except the first and last stitches and then wyib on row 1, but your reply tells me to slip wyib on each row. Thank you so much for further clarification. I really appreciate your help!
Hi Rebecca,
So sorry for the miscommunication! My bad! It seems that you are not offsetting your stitches. In short, after finishing the first row (wrong side), you should turn the work and slip the first stitch and knit the second stitch which was slipped on the previous row. In linen stitch you are knitting the slipped stitches in the previous row and slipping the worked stitches in the previous row. I hope this makes sense! Try a small swatch and see if you can get what I am saying. Best of luck and don’t hesitate to write back!
-Adam
Can you recommend a cotton yarn for the main color? I would still plan on using the salt and pepper for the contrast stripe. Thanks!
Hi Laurie,
Thanks for the question. I suggest Blue Sky Skinny Cotton. It’s a similar gauge and would work well with the Cashmere Merino Bloom. Hope you like the recommendation!
Best,
-Adam
Adam, Thanks for your guidance – I think I almost have it. Hopefully, one last question. If I should be knitting the slipped stitches in the previous row and slipping the worked stitches in the previous row, in the pattern on Row 1, I am ending with a slipped stitch. On Row 2, the swatch pattern indicates slipping that first stitch, which is not what you are advising me to do. I think by slipping these stitches, I was creating that double knitting. Is there something else I should do on Row 1? Should the swatch pattern be for an odd number of stitches? Thanks for your continuous help.
Hi Rebecca,
The pattern is done over an odd amount of stitches, so this could be your problem. Hope this solves it!
-Adam
If I want to knit a 10-inch wide scarf, would 3 skeins of the MC of the Cashmere Merino Bloom be enough yarn?
Hi Carol,
Thank you for writing in! Based on my calculations, 3 skeins on the main color should work for a 10 inch wide scarf. Just be sure that you are getting gauge as this could affect the amount of yarn that is used!
I hope that this helps!
Cassy
I realize there are many different ways to weave in ends and you have a great tutorial about this. For those at Purl who made this linen stitch scarf, which weaving in technique did you use ?
Thank you so much. I love this pattern !
Hi Alice,
I recommend weaving in ends on the selvedge for this scarf as linen stitch is hard to mimic in weaving. Hope this helps!
-Adam
Hi again,
Sorry to ask about this again but I can’t figure out how to weave in the ends of this scarf on the selvedge without having it look messy. Should I make a bigger selvedge? Any suggestions would be much appreciated !
Thank you so much.
Hi Alice,
Thanks for writing in. Weaving in ends takes some practice and you might have to try a few times before you get a desirable result. I would weave in my ends along the selvedge of this scarf, mimicking how the yarn lays along the edge. No need to make a different stitch selvedge. Best of luck!
-Adam
This pattern is beautiful and I am looking forward to starting work on it. I want to do a thinner scarf, about 8″, and would like to know if there is a repeat number for this pattern. I knit loosely so I may need to adjust slightly for gauge. As long as the cast on stitches are an uneven number, will that work? Thank you in advance for your help.
Hi Dawn,
Thanks for writing in! Linen Stitch is worked over an odd number of stitches so as long as your cast on is an odd number over 5, you should be all set!
Happy knitting!
Cassy
Would this work in just cashmere? If so, can you suggest an alternate cashmere yarn for this?
Hi Donna,
How lovely! A version of this wrap worked in cashmere would be a dream! I would suggest using 6-Ply Cashmere. You will need 1 skein of the contrast color and 6 skeins of the main color.
Happy knitting!
Cassy
Hi,
Are you re-starting (attaching anew) the alternate color each time? I can’t see how carrying up the second color can be neatly done….??
Sure want to try this
Hello Dale,
Thank you for reaching out! For this pattern there are two different stitches used, the one color linen stitch and the two color linen stitch. This means you will be using your main color throughout the whole scarf, but your contrast color only during the stripes. For each stripe you will begin with a new strand of the contrast color, and at the end of the stripe you will cut your CC. I hope this answers your question and let me know if I can clarify anything!
Happy knitting,
-Marilla
Just a quick question- I understand that the MC is held throughout and the CC is picked up and knitted with the MC when knitting the stripes and then cut (right?). But when knitting the stripe section of the pattern which calls for 4 rows- I am SO confused (sorry!) but is it simply the 2 rows repeated twice holding both the MC and CC? I apologize if this is a silly question, but thank you in advance!
Hi Heather,
Thanks for writing in! For this lovely wrap, you will only ever be working with one strand of yarn at a time. For the stripe sections, you will only be working with either the main color or the contrast color and not both held together. The marl of the contrast color makes it look almost as though you are holding two different color strands but you will be holding just one.
I hope that this clears things up and happy knitting!
Cassy
If I have slipped the last stitch on the right side how can I purl the first stitch on the wrong side when my yarn is ready for the second stitch?
Thanks for your help!
Hello Carol,
Thank you for reaching out! You will want to be sure that on the last stitch of the wrong side you are slipping the last stitch with the yarn in back rather than in front like the rest of the slipped stitches in this row. This will situate your working yarn in the front for the right side row so you can purl the first stitch.
I hope this is clear and please ask me if you have any further questions!
Happy knitting,
Marilla
Hi there! Just wondering about the wool type used for this scarf…in the description it mentions sportweight, but when I click the link to the wool used, it’s described as light worsted. Is there a difference between these two types? Thanks!
Hi Casey,
Thanks for reaching out! You may notice that the gauge and suggested needle sizes for several of our yarns, including Cashmere Merino Bloom, are different than they used to be, but don’t worry, the yarn has not changed! We’ve just refined our thinking a little… Although we now consider Cashmere Merino Bloom to be a DK or light worsted weight yarn, which is one step heavier than sport weight, it will still work just fine for the Peppered Stripes Wrap!
Best,
Julianna
Hi Julianna,
Thank you!! If I want to use worsted weight for this pattern, should I still use US 8 needles?
Thank you!!
Hello Casey,
This is a great question! Due to the density of this stitch using a worsted weight yarn with a US8 needles might prove to be to dense. However this will all depend on your stitch gauge. I would recommend knitting up a small swatch to see how many stitches per inch you are getting as well as if you are happy with the tension that you are getting.
I hope this helps and let us know if you have any further questions!
Warmly,
Marilla
I’ve almost finished the first “block” of this wrap and am absolutely loving the linen stitch (once I figured out how to do it correctly — after a couple of attempts that went wrong). My question now is about “joining” the CC to make the first contrasting stripe. Do I cut the MC? Or somehow carry it while knitting the stripe? I assume that I will cut the CC when I go back to the MC pattern(?). Obviously, I’m confused, and can’t quite figure out in my head how all this is going to work. Any guidance you can provide will be appreciated.
Hi Norma,
Thanks for reaching out, and I’m glad you are enjoying the linen stitch – it gives such a unique texture and look to knitting! Each stripe is worked in Two Color Linen Stitch, alternating two rows each of the main color and contrast color, so you will be keeping your main color attached and carrying it up the side of your work along with the contrast color while working the stripe, and will then have it ready to continue on in just the main color for the next section.
I hope that helps!
Julianna
I’m about a foot into this wrap. The yarn is the nicest I’ve ever worked with, and the linen stitch is just gorgeous. BUT it seems too dense, and the resulting fabric is too tightly woven. This keeps it from resulting in the soft, flow-y, comforting wrap I was hoping for. I’m not normally a tight knitter, but I’m aware of holding the yarn more tightly for this stitch pattern than I usually do. I’ve already started over once, upping the needle size from 8 to 9, thinking this would loosen the knit, but it has not. Should I try 10 or 11 needles? Should I give up on this pattern and choose something with a looser stitch? I eagerly await any suggestions you might have.
Hi Norma,
Thanks for reaching out, and I’m sorry to hear that you’re not totally pleased with the wrap! Linen stitch does, by its nature, result in a fabric that is somewhat denser and more structured than other stitches; however, we found that using Cashmere Merino Bloom resulted in fabric that is, while not exactly drapey, definitely cozy and plush to wear! I would suggest measuring your gauge on the US 9 needles, and then knitting and blocking a swatch using the size needles that give you the correct gauge, to see if you are happy with the texture after blocking. If the knitted fabric is still not what you are looking for you, you may wish to consider our Trellis Scarf + Wrap or Mistake Rib Scarf!
I hope that helps!
Julianna
I have made 2 wraps (just beautiful!), and would like to make a throw. Can you give me an idea on the number of stitches to cast on?
Hi Laurie,
Thanks for reaching out! How lovely! A think that a throw using this pattern would come out spectacularly! Your cast on will really depend on how wide you want your throw to be! This pattern works over any odd number of stitches so you could multiple the stitches per inch (24 stitches over 4 inches = 6 stitches per inch) by the width that you are hoping to make and casting on the nearest odd number!
Best,
Cassy
Hello,
I love this pattern and I can’t wait to make this scarf. It is gorgeous. I am using yarn from my home stash and I am curious if I should use a smaller knitting needle size. I don’t know too much about figuring out the right size for needles and yarn to the pattern. The yarn that I am using suggests using a US 2-4 needle size (the gauge is 21-25 stitches; 34-38 rows), should I still use the US 8 as the pattern says? Also, should I add some more stitches to the scarf to still give it the suggested width?
Hi Gerdiene,
Thanks for reaching out! It sounds like your yarn is probably quite a bit thinner than ours. We used Cashmere Merino Bloom, which is a DK weight yarn that calls for a US 5-7 needle, and yours is most likely closer to a fingering weight. To adjust the pattern for your yarn, I would recommend knitting a gauge swatch in pattern using a US 5 needle. You can then multiply your stitches per inch by 14 inches and round to the nearest odd number to determine how many stitches to cast on.
I hope that helps, and happy knitting!
Julianna
Hello! I regrettably spilled a bit of tea on my unused heirloom white. I have never tried to watch yarn before, is there a method you would recommend? It’s a fairly small spot, about the size of my thumb.
Hi Sara,
Thanks for reaching out! I would spot wash where the tea spilled with a bit of yarn appropriate soap like our Sweater Soap with cold water. Then let the yarn dry completely before you continue to knit!
I hope this helps!
Gianna
Hi! If I were to try this pattern with a yarn that is 5-5.25 stitches/inch, would you recommend using the same needle size as listed in the pattern? It is almost the same weight of yarn but not quite.
Also, if I wanted to make this as a men’s scarf, how would you recommend adjusting the width?
Hi Eda,
Thanks for reaching out! Since your yarn sounds fairly close to the yarn we used, I would recommend starting off by working a gauge swatch with the suggested US 8 needle to see how it compares to the original gauge of the pattern! If it is a bit off then I would suggest going down to a US 7 needle.
I think the width as is (14″) would actually be great for a men’s scarf since they tend to be a bit wider than women’s scarfs (which are typically about 10.5″ wide) in general!
I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any more questions!
Warmly,
Gianna
Hello, I love this scarf and would love to make it. I really like the Salt and Pepper color that is used but see that it’s no longer available in the Cashmere Merino Bloom – do you have another yarn that you would suggest with a similar look? Thank you!
Hi Alison,
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, the Salt + Pepper colorway in Cashmere Merino Bloom has been discontinued and we don’t have any colors like it in a similar weight yarn. However, it is possible to get a similar effect by holding two strands of a fingering weight yarn together while knitting! Line Weight in colors Heirloom White and Fieldstone Gray are very close to Salt + Pepper. I would recommend knitting some swatches before casting on your project with Line Weight, just to make sure you are getting the 24 stitches and 44 rows = 4 inches that the pattern calls for. We have a tutorial All About Gauge here that might be helpful for this project!
I hope this helps!
All the best,
Carly
Hi,
I have always wanted to make the Peppered Stripes Wrap. Will you be receiving the color Helix Charcoal soon? Thanks so much!
Hi Pam,
Thanks for reaching out. I’m happy to say that we do currently have Cashmere Merino Bloom in Charcoal Onyx in stock currently! But we’re you perhaps wondering about Salt + Pepper (the color we used in the sample) instead? I’m sorry to say that we’ve discontinued Salt + Pepper though, so it won’t be coming back in stock! While we loved this color, not everybody else felt the same way, so we’ve had to make the sad decision to stop producing it. We hope you can understand!
All the best,
Lili
Hi Lili
Thanks so much for your quick reply I really appreciate it. I saw the grey and white helix was discontinued but I was thinking charcoal black helix might be a good substitute and happy that it is back in stock now and still on sale. Thanks again for all your help.
You’re very welcome, Pam! Charcoal Onyx would be a wonderful substitute!
All the best,
Lili
Hi,
Would it be possible to use Linen Quill yarn for this pattern? If so what size needle do you recommend and odd or even numbers to cast on? I think Linen Quill yarn is the only black and white Helix yarn available. Thank you for your help.
So sorry but I forgot to ask will you be getting more of the Helix Charcoal Onyx yarn in?
Do you think it would run on to the Heirloom White for the Peppered Stripes Wrap? Thanks again.
Hi,
Thank you for getting more of the Charcoal Onyx yarn in during the sale. I have decided to make the Peppered Stripes scarf in the Cashmere Merino Bloom and can’t wait it is beautiful. Thanks always for your help, it is much appreciated.
Hi Pam,
Glad to hear that the yarn you’d like to use for this project is back in stock! If you do ever want to try this pattern in Linen Quill though, it would definitely work. All you’d need to do is adjust the number of stitches you cast on so that it comes to the correct dimensions.
All the best,
Lili
Thanks so much Lili, I appreciate it!
