Lucy Wrap Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
📬 Printed Booklet (Posted to You)
Lucy Wrap Knitting Pattern by PetiteKnit
The Lucy Wrap is a fitted wrap-style blouse knitted from the top down in stocking stitch. Its softly crossed fronts, long double-knitted ties and neat, close fit create a polished layering piece that can be worn tied at the front or wrapped around the waist.
Description and construction
The back yoke is worked back and forth and shaped with German short rows. Stitches are picked up for the shoulders, then the yoke and body are worked flat with increases forming the slanted wrap fronts. The sleeves are worked in the round. Double-knitted ties are worked last and joined directly to stitches picked up along the front edges.

Wild & Woolly yarn options
Choose one yarn construction; the following options are not intended to be combined.
Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair – two strands held together
Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair has the same 212 metres per 25 g as the pattern’s Primo Tynn Silk Mohair option and produces the intended airy, softly haloed fabric. Use the Primo Tynn Silk Mohair metre table above.
Sesia Nordica – one strand
Sesia Nordica is a smooth extrafine merino alternative for knitters who prefer a more defined fabric without mohair. Use the one-strand Cashmere metre table above as the starting requirement and confirm the fabric and 23-stitch gauge with a washed swatch.
Yarn substitution guidance
Metre requirements are converted from PetiteKnit’s stated quantities. Buy complete balls and allow extra for swatching, fit or length changes and gauge variation. The recommended yarns can grow with washing and wear, so wash and dry a generous swatch before choosing your size or beginning the garment.
