Sirdar Moonstone 7860: Pull On Hat, Snood, Wrap and Twirly Scarf Knitting Pattern

This Sirdar Moonstone pattern 7860 is a collection of four stylish knitted accessories designed for adult women, all worked in the luxuriously textured Sirdar Moonstone yarn. The pattern is available as a downloadable PDF and is rated as an intermediate level project, making it ideal for knitters who are comfortable with basic techniques and ready to explore cables, lace-style increases, and shaping. The four designs — a Pull On Hat, a Snood, a Wrap, and a Twirly Scarf — are each worked in a different shade of Sirdar Moonstone, giving knitters the opportunity to build a coordinated or contrasting accessories wardrobe.

About Sirdar Moonstone Yarn

Sirdar Moonstone (F215) is a speciality yarn that brings rich texture and visual interest to accessories without requiring complex stitch patterns to create impact. Each design in this collection uses a different shade of Moonstone, sold in 50g balls. The yarn weight varies across the designs depending on needle size used, ranging from 4mm up to 6½mm needles, which affects the drape and density of each finished piece.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Sirdar Moonstone F215 — shade 202 for the Hat, shade 200 for the Snood, shade 201 for the Wrap, shade 205 for the Twirly Scarf
• Needles: 1 pair each of 4mm (UK8 / USA6), 5mm (UK6 / USA8), and 6½mm (UK3 / USA10.5) straight knitting needles
• Optional circular needles: 80cm circular needles in 4mm, 5mm, and 6½mm sizes, particularly useful for the Twirly Scarf
• Cable needle required for cable stitch work on the Hat

Design One: Pull On Hat

The Pull On Hat is designed to fit an average adult head and is worked using 5mm needles at a tension of 18 stitches and 24 rows to 10cm over stocking stitch. Despite being a single-size pattern, the combination of stitch pattern and the stretch inherent in the yarn construction ensures a comfortable, flattering fit.

Techniques and Stitches — Pull On Hat

The hat features an impressive panel of cable and twist stitches, giving it a structured, textured appearance. Knitters will work with a range of cable and twist abbreviations throughout:

• C2F — slip next stitch to front on cable needle, knit 1, then knit 1 from cable needle (a front-crossing 2-stitch cable)
• C2B — slip next stitch to back on cable needle, knit 1, then knit 1 from cable needle (a back-crossing 2-stitch cable)
• T2F — slip next stitch to front on cable needle, purl 1, then knit 1 from cable needle (a front twist combining knit and purl)
• T2B — slip next stitch to back on cable needle, knit 1, then purl 1 from cable needle (a back twist combining knit and purl)
• Knit and purl combinations forming a repeating rib and cable panel
• Stocking stitch as the base fabric for tension reference

The stitch pattern repeat creates a travelling cable design across the hat body. Rows alternate between right-side cable and twist rows and wrong-side purl-based rows, building a deeply textured fabric. The use of T2F and T2B stitches alongside C2F and C2B gives the cables a dynamic, moving quality rather than a static column appearance. This is a particularly satisfying knit for those looking to develop their cable knitting skills.
