Latticework Wrap
Wonder how to make cotton très soigné? With its intriguing texture and depth, our Latticework Wrap in our Cotton Pure has it figured out!

Not only for people who are allergic or opposed to animal fibers, our Cotton Pure is also for those who just love the fresh and non-itchy feel of cotton. Here, combining Egret White and Mineral Blue, the dark side of our Latticework Wrap is a star-flecked night sky, while the light side is an ethereal web laid over that dark field.

That web is created by a Two-Color Honeycomb Brioche Stitch, a wonderfully dimensional pattern. We offer you a hand to hold as you work this stitch for the first time with our new video tutorial. A bit of a challenge for beginners but just look at the payoff. Every time someone compliments your Latticework Wrap, you get to say, “Thanks, I made it!”

Materials
- Main Color (MC): 3 skeins of Purl Soho’s Cotton Pure, 100% organically grown cotton yarn. Each skein of this sport weight yarn is 279 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 545 yards required. We used Egret White.
- Contrast Color (CC): 3 skeins of Cotton Pure. Approximately 545 yards required. We used Mineral Blue.
- US 4 (3.5 mm), 20-, 24- or 32-inch circular needles
Gauge
19 stitches = 4 inches in Two-Color Honeycomb Brioche stitch
Size
Finished Dimensions: 16 inches wide x 60 inches long
NOTE: With six skeins of Cotton Pure, you’ll have enough yarn to make your wrap approximately 12 inches longer. Just keep knitting!
Notes
Slip Stitches
Slip all slipped stitches purlwise unless indicated in the pattern.
Changing Colors
When changing colors, carry the new yarn up the selvedge in back of the old yarn.
Turn and Slide
Each row in this pattern starts with the instructions to either “Turn” or “Slide” the work:
“Turning the work” means to do what you would normally do when knitting rows with circular needles. That is to say, transfer the needle from your left hand into your right and the needle from your right hand into your left, and flip the work around so the opposite side is facing you.
“Sliding the work” means to keep the same side of the work facing you, pushing all the stitches to the right end of the circular needles. Without turning the work, start the new row as you normally would.
You will know that you’re doing this right if the yarn you need to complete the next row is magically there waiting for you!
Brioche Abbreviations
YOS [yarn over slip]: Bring yarn forward, slip 1 purlwise, bring yarn over right needle.
bk2tog (brioche knit 2 together): Knit the next stitch together with its paired yarn over.
bp2tog (brioche purl 2 together): Purl the next stitch together with its paired yarn over.

And for a demonstration on how to work this stitch pattern, please watch our Two-Color Honeycomb Brioche Stitch video…
This stitch pattern works over an odd multiple of stitches.

looks lovely
How would the lattice wrap look in two colors of similar hue
maybe the lilac and the purple?
Hi Gail,
Thanks for writing in! This wrap could be lovely in two colors of a similar hue so long as there is a solid difference in the color values. That is to say that the there needs to be enough of a difference in light and dark between the two colors so that they will contrast against each other!
I hope that this helps!
Cassy
Dear Laura,
Hope this note finds you well.
I watch your video instruction although I have yet to try it out or find different instructions as I knit the European way, yarn wrapped in the left hand.
That said, I understand you start with the pattern immediately after casting on the stitches without creating any kind of border. If I were to design the wrap with a border would I simply start the pattern thereafter in the same manner. Meaning the first row of the pattern is to create slip stitches as described in the set-up row? And how would I go about it if I had a border on each side of the pattern in a single color?
Thank you for your time and response.
Have a great day!
Hi Mara,
Thanks for writing in! I also knit the European way and when watching videos knit in this fashion, the only real difference is the hand that holds and wraps the yarn. It can take a little getting used to with the videos but I find that they can still be a huge help for those knitting Continental!
For this lovely wrap, if you do want to add a border, you certainly can! You will want to be sure to note the right side versus the wrong side, being sure to begin the set up row on the wrong side. You should not have to alter the pattern other than to add rows to the top and bottom in your chosen border and stitches to the sides for your chosen border!
I hope that this helps!
Cassy
Hopefully, you’re still checking this thread. 😉
Thanks so much for the beautiful pattern. To add to Mara’s question, would a garter stitch border be OK, i.e. in other projects I’ve found that the pattern stitch is a diff height or width than the garter border, which ended up causing puckering. Eek.
Any idea if this would be the case here? If so…maybe a seed stitch border? Or, did you find that this pattern lays pretty flat anyway (I have “edge-curl-o-phobia”!) so a border is unnecessary?
thanks very much!
Hi Brett,
Thanks for writing in! I certainly understand the concern about curling. For this pattern, we experienced no curling while working on it or when it was completed. In general, stockinette has the tendency to curl but more textured stitches are less likely. We found this to be a very flat stitch and yarn combination. You can always try a small swatch to see how it turns out!
Best,
Cassy
Perfect. Thanks so much Cassy!
I’m excited to try this project! If I wanted to make this into a wider/longer wrap (32”x 70”), can you tell me how many more skins to purchase?
Thank you
Hi Aron,
Thanks for writing in! You can certainly make this lovely wrap larger! To make a 32 inch wide version, you will need 6 skeins of each of the 2 colors for a total of 12 skeins! As this project works over any odd number of stitches, you will want to cast on 161 stitches!
I hope that this helps!
Cassy
Thanks so much. Can’t wait to get started!
OH my! So many beautiful colors! I want to knit this! Please help me decide on the color combinations…..how would Blue Whale Heather look with either: Silver Fern, Fresh Water Pearl or Birch Bark. Or would the darker blue …Mineral Blue look best with one of these colors? I am open for any suggestions…hard to choose on line. Maybe the colors it is shown in looks the best. What do you think? Thank you.
Hi Barbara,
Thanks for writing in and for your kind words! I think that Blue Whale would look lovely with Fresh Water Pearl! Both of these have cool tones and have just the right amount of contrast to be lovely for this wrap!
Best,
Cassy
This is beautiful. And a great easy video to follow
Could I do this in a light fingerling? Or do you think it would not hold the stitch structure well enough?
Similar to Katherine’s question. I would like to make this in linen quill, a fingering weight. Do you think that would work for this pattern and, if so, do you recommend any adjustments to pattern?
Hello Diana,
Thank you for reaching out! Linen quill has a smaller gauge than Cotton Pure, but you could certainly go down in needle size and up in your cast on number to achieve the same width and texture. I would try knitting a gauge swatch with a US 2 or a US 3 to see if you are happy with the texture as well as to find out how many stitches per inch you are getting before jumping in.
I hope this helps and happy knitting!
-Marilla
Would it be possible to make this beautiful wrap in linen quill? The pattern is divine!
Hello Deb,
Thank you for reaching out! Linen quill has a smaller gauge than Cotton Pure, but you could certainly go down in needle size and up on your cast on number. I would try knitting it with a US 2 or a US 3.
I hope this helps and happy knitting!

Hallo. I’ve bought the yarn for this beautiful project. In the disription you write:”NOTE: As with all plant fibers, we recommend pulling Cotton Pure from the outside, rather than inside, of the ball.”
How do I get started? The yarn lies in skeins, and must be winded up in balls before start. How can I see what end is the right one to pick up? Yours sincerely Ann Maj
Hello Ann,
Thank you for reaching out! This note is only important if you use a swift and ball winder to create a cake rather than a ball when winding your yarn. When yarn is wound into a cake you can pull from the center or the outside of the cake. If you are winding your yarn into a ball you don’t need to worry- you can wind this yarn just like you would any other!
I hope this clears things up and happy knitting!
-Marilla
Hi, What a gorgeous pattern. Would it be possible to knit this on two needles rather than a circular one. Not very proficient with a circular needle but would love to give the design a try. Thanks for all the beautiful patterns you offer online.
Hello Jenny,
Thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately this wrap requires circular needles due to the fact that you will be sliding your work as well as turning your work. This means you will keep the same side of the work facing you, pushing all the stitches to the right end of the circular needles. Without turning the work, start the new row as you normally would. However you are still knitting flat rather than in the round, so it could be a fun challenge.
I hope this helps and happy knitting!
-Marilla
Hi, I need a color opinion ;-))
Would you match Nocturnal blue with Egret White or with Birch Bark?
Thanks,
Marta
Hi Marta!
I think that matching Nocturnal Blue with Birch Bark is a really nice combo. The Birch Bark color is kind of on the cool side so it looks nice next to any blue!
Happy knitting!
Carly
Thanks Carly. All the colors are just beautiful!
On row 2, at the end, the pattern says to “* to the last 2 stitches, bp2tog, k1.” Do you mean “p1, k1” or *to the last 3 stitches, bp2tog, k1?
Hi Jenny!
Thanks for writing in! After sliding your work and knitting 1 stitch, you repeat (bp2tog, YOS) until you have 2 stitches left at the end.
I hope this helps!
Carly
I am curious about pairing the red with egret white. Not quite sure if that color combo would work. This would be a gift and recipient LOVES red. Any suggestions? Thank you,Kelley
Hi Kelley,
Thanks for writing in! I think Red Nectar and Egret White would look great together – in fact, we have already paired them for another project! If you look at the Materials section for our Slip Stitch Dish Towels pattern, you can see a picture of Red Nectar and Egret White right next to each other for our Farmhouse Red bundle.
I hope that helps!
Julianna
Hi,
At the heading ‘Size’ it states the finished dimensions are: 16 inches wide x 60 inches long.
But in the pattern its gives the instruction to knit until the piece is 68 inches long.
Which one should I follow?
Hi Emmie,
Nice catch – we did have a small error in the pattern which we have now corrected! We knitted our wrap 60 inches long, but if you would like, there is enough yarn in 6 skeins of Cotton Pure to make your wrap up to 72 inches long.
Best of luck and happy knitting!
Julianna
This pattern caught the eye of my brother, and I want to make him a latticework scarf. Could you help me determine the appropriate amount of yarn for this pattern narrowed to eight inches (but keeping the 60 inch length)? Thanks
Hi Julie,
Thanks for writing in! This is precisely half the width of our original wrap, but since we used three skeins of each color and used almost all of the yardage, you will need two skeins of each color. You could increase the width to about ten inches and still have enough yarn with two skeins of each color!
Best,
Julianna
Is it me or is YOS really confusing? I know how to do a YO but slipping a stitch purl wise in the middle has me confused. I can’t get passed the first row! Help! I can’t find a video showing me how to do this. : /
Hello Monica,
Thank you for writing us! You are certainly not alone in being confused, this is a pretty advanced stitch, especially without a visual aid! Luckily we do have a video tutorial for this stitch which I have found very helpful in mastering the rhythm of this stitch.
I hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Happy knitting,
Marilla
I adore this, but I don’t have much use for a cotton wrap, so I picked up some sport weight wool. Super excited about it! Will be squishy, warm and wonderful! I’m using a gray heather as my main color, and a pale beige as my CC. Plan to make it as long as my yarn allows!
Ready for cooler weather!
Erin
Hi Erin,
How lovely! We think that this wrap would be lovely in many different yarns! Can we confess that we are so excited for colder weather as it means wearing more of our knits? We are!
Happy knitting!
Cassy
Hello,
I’m a beginner in knitting but I’d like to give this beautiful pattern a try. Unfortunately, I got lost at the very first step:
“With Main Color (MC), cast on 81 stitches.
Set-Up Row (wrong side): Turn work (see Notes) and with MC, *k1, YOS (see Notes), repeat from * to last stitch, k1.”
I’m wondering, when I cast on (I use a cable cast on method), my yarn lies at the right end of my needle. If I turn my work, as written in the pattern, my yarn will be at the left end of the needle, so how will I be able to knit? Do I miss something?
Thank you so much!
Giulia
Hi Giulia,
Thanks for writing in! Good catch – although you do have to “turn” to start knitting when using a long tail cast on, after a cable cast on, you will just start the first row as you normally would without turning. You will, however, have to follow the instructions to either turn or slide when working the rest of the stitch pattern!
Happy knitting!
Julianna
Thank you so much for this and many more other of your wonderful inspiring patterns!
I am thinking of this Latticework wrap in Purl Soho’s Linen Quill or maybe rather of “complicating” the Elementary wrap with Two-Color Honeycomb Brioche :)… I need your help to figure out the amount of the yarn to order. Do you think that 4 skeins (2 Oatmeal Gray + 2 Fresh Nutmeg) might be enough? I would like to borrow (or to be closer to) the Elementary wrap proportions and definitely not to go smaller than Latticework…
Thanks a lot!
Yulia
Hi Yuliya,
Thank you so much for writing in and for the kind words! I do think four skeins of Linen Quill would be plenty – the yardage is quite generous! However, if you would like to be on the safe side and order six skeins (three of each color), you can return any unwound yarn for store credit – I would especially recommend this if you are thinking of combining the width of the Latticework Wrap with the length of the Elementary Wrap.
I hope that helps, and please do let us know how your wrap turns out!
Julianna
Thank you for your reply Julianna!
I loved the Linen Quill so much – could not wait to order… the weekend sale was another trigger… I didn’t know that my question got answered and ordered 6 skeins w/o a confirmation :).. But, unfortunately, the Fresh Nutmeg appeared to be muuuch darker than it seemed to be online (I compared it to an online tan/camel like color sample that my friend picked for this wrap, as it is going to be her bd present – looked almost one-to-one, but the arrived version is quite dark red/brown, definitely not tan)…
So, I got another idea.. What do you think of a combination of Cattail Silk Distant River Brown 8030CS with Line Weight Tabby Gray 2048LW? Are the online colors close to what you see on the shelf?… 🙂 Is the silk not too yellowish and might be described as “tan” or “camel”?.. If it is a possible combination, would the 2 skeins of each be enough for the Latticework Wrap (the yardage seems to be quite promising)?..
Thank you!
Y
Hi Yuliya,
I’m so sorry to hear that you weren’t happy with the Fresh Nutmeg color! We try our hardest to make the colors as true to life as possible but as each device and monitor is calibrated differently, the colors can sometimes still appear a bit different. We also understand that sometimes the color just does not work as well in person. Compared to Fresh Nutmeg, I would say that Distant River Brown is much more what I would call camel, though it does have warm, golden undertones. Wood Mouse may be better if you prefer a neutral or cool tone. Tabby Gray is quite a bit darker than either but should provide a nice contrast. Two skeins of Cattail Silk is more than enough, but I would still recommend three skeins of Line Weight if you are planning on making the wrap longer or wider.
Best,
Julianna
Love the look of this stitch pattern.
I just made a tester to get the hang of it. I used a long tail cast on but noticed it is a bit tight compared to the knitting.
What cast on method would you recommend?
It, hopefully, will be a baby blanket.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Hi Yvette,
Thanks for reaching and for the kind words! We used a long tail cast on for this wrap and for most of our other projects and find that it is a good stable yet elastic cast on. If you are finding that your cast on edge is too tight, I would suggest casting onto a needle one or two sizes larger than your regular needle to loosen things up.
I hope that helps!
Julianna
I love the way this looks, but being new to brioche, I thought I would practice this before ordering yarn. I’m an advanced intermediate knitter. I’ve started this four times, but I have to conclude there is something wrong with the pattern. By the end of row 4, I have 213 stitches and no hope that another 4 rows will do anything but add another 52 stitches! In other words, there seems to be too many yarn overs and not enough B2tog. Is there a revision to this pattern? Or where am I going wrong? Thanks for helping!
Hello Mary,
Thank you for reaching out! I think I know what might be going on here. After you cast on 81 stitches you have a foundation row in which you add yarn overs, but with no paired bk2tog. You only knit this foundation row once and it is not included in the 4 row repeat. Once you start your repeat you will be doing yarn overs only in rows 2 and 4 and every yarn over will have a bp2tog or a bk2tog paired with it.
I hope this clears things up and let us know if you continue to have questions!
Happy knitting,
Marilla
I’d love to do this as a reversible baby blanket. Would doubling the width do it? (Except it needs to be an odd number of cast on stitches, right?) And then just go until I’m happy with the length? (I guess I’d be shooting for something squarish, probably, but I don’t really have a preference. Also, I’m not sure I love the idea of a cotton baby blanket so I’d welcome recommendations a suitable yarn substitution, too. Cotton’s not bad, but I’d love something slightly cozier for a baby.
Hello Wendy,
Thank you for reaching out! This is a fantastic Idea, you are correct any even number of stitches will work. I would say that our Season Alpaca might be a nice cozy substitute for this project, though it is not machine washable.
I hope this helps and happy knitting!
-Marilla
I love the look of two-color honeycomb brioche and have been searching the web and watching various youtube videos. The question I have is…some patterns and some demonstrators state to use an even number or stitches and some say an odd number!
How can it be both ways?
Thanks
Robin
Hi Robin,
Thanks for reaching out! As with most stitch patterns, different projects may use slight variations of the same stitch. For our wrap, we included an edge stitch to keep the selvages tidy, so you will need to cast on an odd number of stitches to work the stitch as we wrote it, but in variations without a selvage or edge stitch, you would need an even number of stitches.
I hope that clears things up!
Julianna
After the set-up row, I have only paired stitches on my needle to work with. So the whole k1, slip the yarn over, knit another one, doesn’t work for me. I knit one, slip the yarn over, then the next thing on the needle is another paired stitch. Nothing there for the next knit one before knitting the next paired stitch. Thank you for the video! If you do decide to remake it with the set-up row, I second the request for a little closer zoom. Thank you! Beautiful pattern, as ever.
Hi Amy,
Thanks for reaching out! In the set up row, you should have been alternating regular knit stitches with YOS stitches, so there should be a knit stitch in between each paired YOS stitch – it sounds like you might have to work the set up row again. I will be sure to pass your suggestion along to the design team!
Best,
Julianna
I love this pattern but the links to the Cotton Pure yarn are not working. Can your offer a substitute along with the needed yardage for that substitute since I cannot look up the yardage the cotton pure came in?
Hello Michelle,
Thank you for reaching out! This lovely wrap can be knit up with any sport weight yarn!
Happy knitting!
-Marilla
I want to use Blue Gale and wondered if there is enough contrast for Waterdrop Blue or should I consider Gray Birch. Or for something completely different Beach Rose? I’m excited about this new offering and the pattern – thanks so much!
Hello Deborah,
Thank you for reaching out! I think the combination of Blue Gale and Waterdrop could be beautiful. It will not have a high high contrast, but it will definitely have enough contrast not to loose the pattern. I think for a high contrast option I would reccomend Blue Gale and Silver Quartz.
I hope this helps and happy knitting!
-Marilla
I’m interested in knitting this in a scarf size — about 12″ with the same length. How much yarn do you think I need? I’m thinking Beach Rose and Blue Gale or Warm Rock. Any suggestions on which ones might be a better combo? I see that you are out of stock on the Blue Gale and Warm Rock. Will they be restocked soon? If not, any suggestions (and how much to buy) on alternative yarn? Thank you! So many questions!
Hi Fen,
Thanks for reaching out! For a 12″ wide scarf, you will only need four skeins total, two of each color. Both of your color combinations sound lovely – Blue Gale would create a higher contrast, more vibrant look, while Warm Rock would create a more subtle neutral effect. We don’t have an exact ETA unfortunately, but our mill is hard at work making more Cotton Pure and we are hoping it will arrive soon! Another option would be to substitute Mulberry Merino. Since it has a bit less yardage than Cotton Pure, you might need three skeins of each color, although I would recommend not winding the third skeins. If it turns out you don’t need them, any unwound yarn can be returned for store credit.
I hope that helps!
Julianna
After cast on, when beginning the first row with K1 YOS, which end do you work? Do you introduce the CC at the working yarn end or the tail end?
Hi Robin,
Thanks for writing in! The set-up row after the cast-on will be worked with the main color that you used for the cast on, so you will simply begin knitting at the end where the yarn is already attached. After that, you will join the contrast color on Row 1, and each row will indicate whether to slide or turn your work, but you can always tell which end to work from by where the color you need is attached!
I hope that clears things up!
Julianna
I agree at the end of row 2 there are 2 stitches left but a bp2tog takes 2 stitches and the there is not a stitch left to k1. It would be helpful to see the set up row
Hi Sue,
Thanks for writing in! A bp2tog should actually only use one stitch – you will be purling the second to last stitch together with its wrap. In other brioche patterns, you may see this stitch simply called a brioche purl or brp. This should leave you with a final stitch to k1!
I hope that clears things up!
Julianna
I think what they meant was that there simply wasn’t a stitch with its wrap. There are two stitches at the end of the row but to bp2tog it’s required to have the paired stitch, but when you knit a sample the two end stitches are just two, making it appear that purling one and knitting one is the option, not bp2tog and knitting the last stitch.
Hi Amanda,
Thanks for your input! The final two stitches on Row 2 should be a stitch paired with it’s wrap and then a normal stitch, so it’s likely that Sue simply forgot to slip the final yo on the previous round.
All the best,
Lili
Any advice on weaving in ends when switching skeins? I’ve been carrying it up the selvedge, but I’m worried it won’t be secure enough. Thank you!
Hi Elly,
Great question! I probably would not trust simply carrying the tails up the side of the wrap, especially in a cotton yarn that doesn’t stick or felt to itself with wear. I would instead weave in each end on the wrong side of the wrap, using a modified version of the duplicate stitch method in our Weaving In Your Ends tutorial. We don’t have a tutorial specific to the Two Color Honeycomb Brioche stitch, but as long as you follow a row of stitches for several inches and you can’t see it from the right side, it should be pretty stable!
I hope that helps!
Julianna
Hi Purl
Just purchased 3 skeins of Cotton Pure in a beautiful lilac color
Any suggestions for a scarf pattern in which I can use this lovely yarn
Love all your fabulous products…happy knitting 🧶
Hi Elaine,
Thanks for reaching out and for your kind words! I recommend checking out our sport weight scarf and wrap pattern, you can find them all here! Since Cotton Pure is a sport weight any of there patterns would be a great option to use! I always suggest working a gauge swatch when using a different yarn than the pattern to insure that you are consistent before beginning!
I hope this helps and please feel free to reach out with any more questions!
Warmly,
Gianna
Hi! I was hoping to use this pattern to approximate a scarf version of your Nightfall Cowl (so I would use cashmere merino bloom, larger needles, and cast on fewer stitches). I want to make it with one color and have managed to figure out this pattern in two colors. Worst case scenario, I could just have my main color and contrast color be the same color, but that sounds like a lot of unnecessary yarn to be dealing with at once! Is there a good way to modify the pattern to use one color (i.e., to take out the sliding and just turn the work, with alternating right side and wrong side)? I was trying to intuit the corresponding right side and wrong side for rows 2 through 4 but got way too confused with the yarnovers.
Alternatively, would it be a better bet to just create a honeycomb by cabling? (And follow one of those patterns instead?)
Hi Eda,
Thanks for reaching out! That is a great question- I think the easiest option would actually be to work with two skeins at a time so that you can follow the pattern as written. Since there are 2 right side rows and then 2 wrong side rows ignoring the sliding instructions and turning the work instead would get a bit complicated and confusing! Alternatively, we have 2 other “honeycomb style” patterns that only use 1 color and are worked flat instead of in the round! the Mini Honeycomb Scarf and the Honeycomb Wrap! Either of these could be easily adapted for Cashmere Merino Bloom as well!
I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any more questions!
Warmly,
Gianna
Hi,
I’m doing this in Woolfolk Luft with contrasting colors and it is so completely gorgeous; I can’t believe it. I’m pretty far along but I’m making it longer and wider. I started doing some weaving in of the ends and it doesn’t look great. It is creating weird looking stripes on the wrong side and I have no idea how to weave in on the right side. Are there any tutorials or suggestions for weaving in so that one doesn’t wreck the lovely color pattern? I already have a couple of annoying strips on the wrong side. Many thanks!!!
Hi Jane,
Thanks for writing in. This is definitely a difficult situation when weaving in ends, since the pattern is so beautiful on both sides! Are all of your ends at the edges of the wrap? If so, you could weave them in up and down the edge, so they don’t interfere with the body of the scarf. I hope this helps!
All the best,
Lili
