Snoods and Scarf in Hayfield Ripple Super Chunky – Pattern 7201

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Hayfield presents four stylish accessories for adults, all worked in the distinctive Hayfield Ripple Super Chunky yarn. The collection includes two variations of a Shaped Snood, an Irish Moss Stitch Snood, and a classic Scarf. Each design makes the most of the yarn's unique ripple colour effect, producing a finished accessory with individual character and visual depth.

About Hayfield Ripple Super Chunky Yarn

The Hayfield Ripple Super Chunky is a patterned, self-striping super chunky yarn that creates a naturally varied colour effect as you knit. Because of the way the colour sequences are distributed across each ball, the pattern recommends working with two balls simultaneously, alternating every two rows, to minimise any pronounced colour pooling and to achieve a more even, blended appearance. This is the method used to create the photographed samples. Knitters who prefer to work from a single ball should be aware that the colour patterning may appear more concentrated. Each 100g ball contributes to a finished fabric that is both warm and visually striking.

Shaped Snood

What Is Being Made

The Shaped Snood is a circular neckwarmer designed for adults. It is constructed in two identical pieces — a back and a front — which are seamed together to create a structured, fitted snood. The finished length is 37 cm (14½ in), making it a comfortable and cosy accessory that sits neatly around the neck and lower face.

Techniques and Stitches

• Thumb method cast on – used to begin the work with a stretchy, elastic edge suited to ribbed fabrics
• 2x3 Rib – the main stitch pattern, combining knit and purl stitches in a structured repeat of p2, k2, p3, k2 to create a flexible, textured fabric with good recovery
• Shaping – shoulder shaping is worked by increasing at the beginning of rows and casting on additional stitches, giving the snood its distinctive shaped silhouette
• Seaming – the back and front pieces are worked separately and joined, a technique that adds structure and definition to the finished accessory

Materials

• Yarn: Hayfield Ripple Super Chunky, shade 650
• Quantity: 2 x 100g balls
• Needles: 8mm (UK 0 – USA 11) knitting needles
• Tension: 11 stitches and 12 rows to 10 cm (4 in) over 2x3 rib on 8mm needles

Shaped Snood with Fringing

What Is Being Made

This design is a variation of the Shaped Snood, worked to the same construction and dimensions — a finished length of 37 cm (14½ in) not including the fringing — but with the addition of decorative fringing along one or both edges. The fringing adds a tactile, bohemian finish that gives this version a distinct personality while retaining the same structured, wearable shape.

Techniques and Stitches

• 2x3 Rib – as with the plain Shaped Snood, this is the primary stitch pattern, delivering stretch and texture
• Thumb method cast on – for a neat, elastic beginning
• Shaping – identical shoulder shaping to the plain version
• Fringing – lengths of yarn are cut and attached to the finished edge, a simple finishing technique that adds movement and visual interest without requiring additional knitting skills
