Knitting Pattern – Pixie Set - Baby Cap & Triangular Scarf – No.188E

Pixie Set - Baby Cap & Triangular Scarf Knitting Pattern No. 188E

What Is Being Made

The Pixie Set by WoolAffair is a coordinated knitting project consisting of two complementary pieces: a baby cap and a triangular scarf. This set is designed for neonates and children up to 5 years old, with sizing accommodating head sizes from 36 cm to 53 cm. The pattern provides a complete solution for creating a matching hat and scarf combination suitable for babies and young children.

Techniques and Construction Methods

This intermediate-level knitting pattern employs fundamental knitting techniques appropriate for creating fitted baby garments. The construction utilizes circular knitting methods, which are ideal for creating seamless, tubular pieces like hats. The pattern incorporates selvedge stitches to create clean edges, and the use of double-pointed needles allows for working small circumferences typical of baby-sized projects. The triangular scarf design demonstrates shaping techniques that create the distinctive triangular silhouette through strategic increases and decreases.

Stitches Used

• Knit Stitch (k): The primary stitch forming the base fabric structure
• Purl Stitch (p): Used in combination with knit stitches to create texture and pattern variation
• Stockinette Stitch: The main fabric pattern, created by alternating knit and purl rows, producing a smooth, classic knitted appearance
• Selvedge Stitch (SS): Edge stitches that create neat, finished edges on the pieces

Materials and Gauge Information

The Pixie Set requires worsted-weight yarn with a yardage of 90 meters per 50 grams. Total yarn quantity ranges from approximately 75 to 150 grams depending on the desired finished size. WoolAffair recommends LILLY UNI No. 8 yarn for this project, available through their website. The pattern calls for US Size 7 (UK Size 7, metric size 4.5) circular needles and double-pointed needles of the same gauge, along with an embroidery needle without a tip for finishing details and scissors for cutting yarn.

The gauge for this pattern is established in stockinette stitch: 18 stitches and 28 rows measure 10 cm x 10 cm. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for ensuring the finished pieces fit properly within the specified size range.
