Hazelton Scarf & Reversible Hat - Knitting Pattern

About This Pattern

The Hazelton Scarf & Reversible Hat is an intermediate-level knitting pattern designed by Mary Beth Kelso and Rosemary Drysdale. This downloadable PDF pattern provides instructions for creating two coordinated accessories: a generously sized scarf and a reversible hat that work beautifully together as a set.

Scarf Details

The scarf is an impressive accessory measuring 72 inches in length plus tassels for a total of approximately 98 inches, with a width of 7 inches. This substantial size makes it perfect for wrapping and layering during colder months. The scarf is worked flat using straight or circular needles, making it accessible for knitters who prefer traditional flat construction methods.

Hat Details

The reversible hat is designed in one size with a circumference of 18 inches and a height of 9 inches, fitting most adult women comfortably. The hat is worked in the round using a 16-inch circular needle and double-pointed needles, allowing for seamless construction and the reversible quality that makes this design special.

Techniques and Stitches

This pattern employs cable techniques as a primary design element, adding visual interest and texture to both the scarf and hat. The cable work is combined with stockinette stitch, which serves as the foundation fabric. The combination of cables with stockinette creates a classic, sophisticated look suitable for both casual and dressed-up occasions.

Materials and Yarn

Both pieces are designed to be worked in Tahki Superwash Merino Worsted Twist, a premium yarn made from 100% Superwash Merino Wool. This fiber choice offers excellent durability and easy care, as superwash treatment allows for machine washing. Each hank yields 220 yards and weighs 100 grams.

For the scarf: The pattern calls for 2 hanks in color 03 stone and 2 hanks in color 04 dark brown, allowing for a two-color construction that enhances the reversible quality.

For the hat: The pattern requires 1 hank in color 03 stone and 1 hank in color 04 dark brown, creating a coordinated companion piece.

Needles and Tools

Both the scarf and hat are worked on US 15 (10mm) needles. For the scarf, straight or circular needles of this size are suitable. The hat requires a 16-inch circular needle and double-pointed needles in the same size for working in the round. A yarn needle is needed for finishing both projects.

Gauge and Difficulty

The pattern specifies a gauge of 12 stitches and 14 rows over 4 inches in stockinette stitch. Checking gauge before beginning is essential for achieving the correct finished measurements. This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for knitters with some experience who are comfortable with cable techniques and working both flat and in the round.

Pattern Format

This is a downloadable PDF pattern, making it convenient for digital access and printing. The pattern is published by Tahki Stacy Charles and includes all necessary instructions for completing both the scarf and hat as a coordinated set.
