Hats, Scarf and Snood in Sirdar Sylvan Chunky – Pattern 7485

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Sirdar (pattern number 7485) offers four distinct accessories in one collection, all designed for adult knitters working with Sirdar Sylvan Chunky yarn. The set includes a Watch Cap, a Pull On Hat, a Scarf, and a Snood, making it an excellent choice for building a coordinated cold-weather wardrobe or for knitting thoughtful handmade gifts. Each design is sized for an average adult and is straightforward enough to appeal to knitters of varying experience levels.

About the Designs

The four accessories in this pattern each have their own character while sharing the same chunky-weight construction and classic aesthetic. The use of Sirdar Sylvan Chunky gives all four pieces a warm, substantial feel, and the chunky gauge means projects knit up quickly — a real advantage for anyone looking to complete stylish accessories in a relatively short time.

Watch Cap

The Watch Cap is a close-fitting, pull-on style hat designed to fit an average adult head. It is worked in shade 202 of Sirdar Sylvan Chunky and requires 2 x 50g balls of yarn. The Watch Cap features a classic 1x1 rib stitch — alternating knit one, purl one — which gives the hat excellent stretch and a snug, comfortable fit. Ribbing is a traditional technique used in hat knitting precisely because it hugs the head without losing its shape over time. This makes the Watch Cap both practical and long-lasting.

Pull On Hat

The Pull On Hat is another adult-sized hat design, knitted in shade 207 of Sirdar Sylvan Chunky. Notably, this design requires only 1 x 50g ball of yarn, making it one of the most economical projects in the collection — ideal for using up a single skein or for a quick knit. Like many chunky hats, it is likely worked in a combination of ribbing and stocking stitch (stockinette), which the pattern abbreviates as st-st. Stocking stitch, formed by alternating knit rows on the right side and purl rows on the wrong side, creates a smooth, flat fabric that is classic for hat crowns.

Scarf

The Scarf is a generously sized accessory, measuring 150 x 20 cm (59 x 8 inches) — long enough to wrap, drape, or tuck into a coat with ease. It is worked in shade 206 of Sirdar Sylvan Chunky and requires 3 x 50g balls, the largest yarn requirement of the four designs. The scarf's straightforward rectangular construction makes it an approachable project, and the chunky yarn ensures it knits up with satisfying speed. Scarves at this gauge are typically worked in ribbing, stocking stitch, or a simple textured pattern to create a fabric with good drape and warmth.

Snood

The Snood is a cowl-style neckwarmer measuring 60 x 18 cm (23¾ x 7 inches). Worked in shade 201 of Sirdar Sylvan Chunky, it requires 2 x 50g balls. A snood sits around the neck and can be pulled up over the lower face for extra warmth, making it a highly practical accessory for cold weather. Its compact dimensions mean it is a faster knit than the scarf, and the chunky yarn adds to the cosy, insulating quality of the finished piece.

Techniques and Stitches Used

• 1x1 Rib Stitch: Alternating knit one, purl one across the row, creating a stretchy, elastic fabric ideal for hat brims and fitted accessories.

• Knit (k) and Purl (p): The two foundational knitting stitches used throughout all four designs.
