Sirdar 9625 Hats and Mittens in Sirdar Click Chunky – Pattern Summary

Sirdar pattern 9625 is a knitting pattern available as a downloadable PDF that covers four separate accessories: a Leaf Hat, a Pull On Hat, Fingerless Mittens, and Garter Stitch Mittens. Sizes range from 4–6 years through to adult, making this a versatile pattern suitable for the whole family. All four designs are worked in Sirdar Click Chunky, a chunky-weight yarn, and share the same needle requirements, so knitters can easily work through the full collection with a single yarn purchase in their chosen shades.

Yarn and Materials

The primary yarn specified is Sirdar Click Chunky (F045), used in four different shades across the four designs:

• Leaf Hat – Sirdar Click Chunky shade 194
• Pull On Hat – Sirdar Click Chunky shade 195
• Fingerless Mittens – Sirdar Click Chunky shade 192
• Garter Stitch Mittens – Sirdar Click Chunky shade 193

Yarn quantities are given in 50g balls and vary by size, with smaller sizes typically requiring one ball and larger sizes requiring two balls per project. The pattern also notes that the designs are also suitable for Escape Chunky, Connemara Chunky, Crofter Chunky, Folksong Chunky, and Softspun Chunky, though yarn amounts may vary when substituting.

Two pairs of knitting needles are required:

• 6½mm (UK3 / USA 10.5) knitting needles – used as the primary needle size
• 5½mm (UK5 / USA 9) knitting needles – used for ribbing and smaller-gauge sections

Tension

The stated tension on 6½mm needles is 14 stitches and 19 rows to 10cm (4 inches) over stocking stitch, and 23 stitches and 44 rows to 20cm (8 inches) over garter stitch. Checking tension before beginning is essential, particularly with chunky-weight yarn, as even small differences in stitch gauge can significantly affect the finished size of a hat or mitten.

The Leaf Hat

The Leaf Hat, knitted in Sirdar Click Chunky shade 194, is a decorative hat design that incorporates a leaf motif as a key design feature. Working a leaf detail into a chunky knit hat adds a charming, textural element that elevates the accessory beyond a simple beanie. Leaf shaping in knitting typically involves increases and decreases worked in combination to create the pointed, organic outline of a leaf, and may be worked as an applied or integrated panel.

Techniques and Stitches – Leaf Hat

• Leaf motif shaping using increases and decreases
• Stocking stitch as a background fabric
• Ribbing worked on the smaller 5½mm needles for the brim
• Crown shaping through decrease rounds to close the top of the hat

The Pull On Hat

The Pull On Hat, worked in Sirdar Click Chunky shade 195, is a classic, straightforward beanie-style hat designed to be pulled on easily over the head. This style is one of the most popular and practical knitted accessories, offering warmth and a neat fit. In chunky yarn, a pull on hat works up quickly and is an excellent project for knitters of all experience levels.

Techniques and Stitches – Pull On Hat

• Stocking stitch for the main body of the hat
