Accessories in Stylecraft Squeeze Me DK – Pattern 10084: Knitted Hats and Scarves

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Stylecraft brings together four accessory designs worked in Stylecraft Squeeze Me DK, a luxuriously soft chenille yarn. The collection is suited to beginner and intermediate knitters and includes a selection of hats and scarves featuring classic cable techniques. Because Squeeze Me DK is a chenille yarn, the pattern specifically advises using a smooth yarn in a matching colour for seaming, rather than the chenille itself.

The Four Designs at a Glance

1. Rope Cable Hat

The Rope Cable Hat is a fitted knitted hat designed to measure approximately 51 cm (20 in) around the head and 20 cm (8 in) in length. It is worked in Stylecraft Squeeze Me DK weight yarn and features a rope cable stitch pattern as its central design element.

• Technique: Flat or in-the-round knitting with cable work
• Stitch: Rope cable – a classic twisted cable formed by crossing stitches consistently in the same direction, creating a spiral or rope-like appearance
• Yarn: Stylecraft Squeeze Me DK (chenille)
• Finished size: 51 cm circumference × 20 cm length

2. Rope Cable Scarf

The Rope Cable Scarf pairs beautifully with the Rope Cable Hat, using the same signature cable motif across a wider, longer fabric. It measures 24 cm (9½ in) wide and 160 cm (63 in) long, making it a generously sized accessory ideal for colder weather.

• Technique: Flat knitting with cable panels
• Stitch: Rope cable – repeated cable crossings worked over a set number of rows to build a continuous twisted column
• Yarn: Stylecraft Squeeze Me DK (chenille)
• Finished size: 24 cm wide × 160 cm long

3. Staghorn Cable Scarf

The Staghorn Cable Scarf introduces a more intricate cable design. The staghorn cable is a traditional pattern in which cables branch outward in opposing directions, resembling the antlers of a stag. This gives the scarf a more textured, decorative appearance compared to the rope cable designs. It measures 30 cm (approximately 12 in) wide.

• Technique: Flat knitting with multi-directional cable work
• Stitch: Staghorn cable – a branching cable where stitches cross both left and right, creating a symmetrical, tree-like or antler motif
• Yarn: Stylecraft Squeeze Me DK (chenille)
• Finished size: 30 cm wide (length as per full pattern PDF)

4. Fourth Design

The pattern collection contains a fourth accessory design included within the same downloadable PDF. Full details of this design are contained within the pattern itself.

• Yarn: Stylecraft Squeeze Me DK (chenille)
• Format: Included in the same downloadable PDF as the other three designs

About Stylecraft Squeeze Me DK

Stylecraft Squeeze Me DK is a chenille-construction DK weight yarn, known for its velvety, plush texture and soft handle. Chenille yarn produces a dense, pile-like fabric that is wonderfully warm and tactile, making it particularly well suited to accessories such as hats and scarves. Because of its chenille construction, it is not recommended for use as a seaming yarn – the pattern advises using a smooth yarn in a matching colour for any sewing up required.
