Scarves and Snood in Hayfield Chunky Tweed – Pattern 7494

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Hayfield offers four distinct accessories worked in Hayfield Chunky Tweed yarn: a Textured Scarf, a Fair Isle Scarf, a Snood, and a Hooded Scarf. All four designs are sized to fit a range of ages and body sizes, from 4 years through to adult, making this a wonderfully versatile pattern collection for the whole family. Each project is knitted flat on a single pair of needles, keeping the construction straightforward and accessible to knitters of varying experience levels.

Materials and Needles

All four designs are worked in Hayfield Chunky Tweed (shade references: 180, 181, 185, and 186 depending on the project), a chunky weight yarn sold in 100g balls. The pattern notes that the designs are also suitable for Hayfield Chunky yarn as an alternative. A single pair of 6½mm (UK3 – US10.5) knitting needles is used throughout. The Hooded Scarf additionally requires a cable needle for working the cable stitch detail.

The Four Designs at a Glance

Textured Scarf

The Textured Scarf is worked in a repeating textured stitch pattern that alternates knit and purl rows in a specific sequence to create surface interest and a fabric with a pleasant, tactile quality. The six-row repeat combines rib-style rows with plain knit rows, giving the finished scarf a structured yet flexible drape. The tension for this design is 13 stitches and 20 rows to 10cm over the textured pattern on 6½mm needles.

• Yarn: Hayfield Chunky Tweed shade 186
• Yarn quantity: 1–2 balls of 100g depending on size
• Finished dimensions: approximately 13–19cm wide × 80–120cm long across the four sizes
• Techniques: textured stitch pattern, knit and purl combinations

Fair Isle Scarf

The Fair Isle Scarf introduces colourwork, using a main shade and a contrast shade of Hayfield Chunky Tweed to create a traditional Fair Isle-style stranded knitting pattern. Fair Isle is a classic technique originating from the Shetland Islands in which two colours are worked across each row, with the yarn not in use carried loosely across the back of the fabric. This creates a double-thickness, warm fabric that is particularly well suited to chunky-weight yarn. The tension for this design is 14 stitches and 19 rows to 10cm over stocking stitch on 6½mm needles.

• Yarn: Hayfield Chunky Tweed in main shade 181 and contrast shade 180
• Yarn quantity: 2–3 balls of the main shade and 1 ball of the contrast shade
• Finished dimensions: approximately 13–21cm wide × 80–120cm long across the four sizes
• Techniques: two-colour stranded Fair Isle knitting, stocking stitch base fabric
• Stitches used: knit, purl, stranded colourwork

Snood

The Snood is a short, circular neck warmer — essentially a wide cowl — that sits snugly around the neck and lower face. It is a particularly practical accessory for children and adults alike, as it stays in place without needing to be tied or tucked. Worked in a single shade of Hayfield Chunky Tweed shade 180, this is a quick and satisfying project that requires just one 100g ball of yarn regardless of size. The chunky weight of the yarn means the snood knits up quickly and produces a cosy, substantial fabric.
