Tumut Hat & Taree Scarf Set in Ella Rae Calluna – Pattern ER02-04

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Ella Rae, published by Knitting Fever Inc., presents two coordinating accessories: the Tumut Hat and the Taree Scarf. Designed to be worked together as a matching set, both pieces use Ella Rae Calluna yarn and 5.00mm needles (US 8), making them an approachable yet rewarding project for knitters comfortable with basic shaping and simple lace or textured stitch patterns.

Yarn & Materials

Both the Tumut Hat and the Taree Scarf are knitted in Ella Rae Calluna, an aran weight yarn sold in 50g balls. The pattern specifies two colorways:

• Colour No. 11 – used for the Tumut Hat, requiring 4 x 50g balls
• Colour No. 10 – used for the Taree Scarf, requiring 2 x 50g balls

Ella Rae Calluna is a richly textured aran weight yarn well suited to accessories, offering excellent stitch definition that allows both the ribbing and the lace-style pattern of the scarf to read clearly. The yarn's weight and the needle size together produce a fabric with good drape and warmth.

Needles Required

• 1 set of 5.00mm circular needles (US 8) – for the Tumut Hat, worked in the round
• 1 pair of 5.00mm straight needles (US 8) – for the Taree Scarf, worked flat
• A stitch marker is also needed for the hat to mark the beginning of the round

Tumut Hat

What Is Being Made

The Tumut Hat is a classic knitted beanie worked in the round on circular needles. It combines a substantial ribbed brim with a smooth stockinette body, finished with crown decreases to shape the top of the hat. It is a practical, everyday accessory with a clean, unfussy silhouette.

Construction & Techniques

The hat is cast on and joined to work in the round on 5.00mm circular needles, with care taken not to twist the stitches at the join — a fundamental technique in circular knitting. A stitch marker is placed at the beginning of the round to track progress.

• The hat begins with 15 cm of k1, p1 rib, creating a stretchy, snug brim that grips the head comfortably
• After the ribbed section, the work transitions to stockinette stitch (knitting every round when working in the round), continuing until the total length including the rib reaches 28 cm
• An increase round is worked before the crown section, adding stitches evenly to prepare for the shaping
• Crown shaping is worked using decreases to draw the top of the hat to a neat close

Stitches Used – Tumut Hat

• K1, P1 Rib – for the brim, providing elasticity and a neat finished edge
• Stockinette Stitch (St st) – for the body of the hat, worked as knit every round in the round
• Increases – worked in a designated increase round to adjust stitch count before crown shaping
• Decreases – for crown shaping at the top of the hat

Gauge – Tumut Hat

The gauge for the Tumut Hat is 17 stitches and 23 rows over 10 cm of the pattern stitch using 5.00mm needles. Achieving this gauge is important for the hat to fit correctly, as the finished width is approximately 20 cm (8 inches) — sized to fit a standard adult head
