Hattie Scarf by Lisa Richardson

What is Being Made

The Hattie Scarf is an intermediate-level knitted accessory designed by Lisa Richardson. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a finished scarf measuring approximately 28 centimeters in width and 187 centimeters in length, making it a substantial wrap-style accessory suitable for everyday wear.

Craft and Primary Technique

This project is created using the knitting technique. The scarf features a structured construction with multiple sections and strategic shaping, including deliberate decreases that create pointed or tapered edges. The pattern demonstrates intermediate-level skill, requiring familiarity with reading knitting charts, managing multiple pattern repeats, and executing consistent decreases.

Stitches and Pattern Details

The Hattie Scarf employs a charted stitch pattern that is worked over 32 rows, with specific sections repeated multiple times throughout the construction. The pattern includes:

• Stockinette stitch as the primary stitch base, worked flat in rows
• Strategic decreases worked on both sides (abbreviated as "bds je 1 M abn"), executed on alternating right-side rows to create tapered or pointed sections
• Repeat sequences: rows 31 and 32 are worked once, followed by rows 1-32 repeated 7 additional times, with rows 33-40 worked once
• Decreases in the pointed sections worked in the next row and then 3 times in every following alternate row on both edges
• Cast-on and bind-off techniques appropriate to the yarn weight and desired finished appearance

Materials: Yarn and Needles

The Hattie Scarf pattern calls for Rowan Felted Tweed DK yarn, a double-knit weight yarn supplied in 50-gram balls. The photographed sample shown in the pattern is worked in the colorway Seasalter 178. Knitting needles in size 4 are used throughout the project.

Gauge and Finished Dimensions

The stitch gauge for this pattern is 22 stitches and 33 rows over 10 by 10 centimeters, measured in stockinette stitch using size 4 needles. Maintaining this gauge is essential for achieving the intended finished dimensions of 28 centimeters wide by 187 centimeters long.
