About Sirdar Loveful 100% Recycled Acrylic DK

Sirdar is a British yarn company established in West Yorkshire in 1880, with a long and celebrated heritage in hand knitting. Sirdar Loveful 100% Recycled Acrylic is a yarn that represents a meaningful step toward more sustainable crafting. It is made using GRS-certified (Global Recycled Standard) waste from acrylic fibre production, diverting material from landfill and giving it a new purpose. Despite its eco credentials, the yarn retains all the practical qualities knitters expect from Sirdar: it is soft, reliable, and machine washable.

Because each batch of recycled fibres is inherently unique, shades may vary slightly more than yarns made with virgin fibres. For this reason, it is especially important to purchase enough yarn from the same dye lot to complete your chosen project or the full set.

The Scarf

What Is Being Made

The scarf is a generously sized accessory measuring 36 cm wide by 200 cm long (14 x 78¾ inches), making it a substantial, cosy wrap suitable for cold weather. The striped colourwork across the three shades of Loveful gives it a modern, graphic quality.

Materials Required

• Yarn A – Sirdar Loveful shade 112 Charcoal: 2 balls
• Yarn B – Sirdar Loveful shade 111 Cloud: 2 balls
• Yarn C – Sirdar Loveful shade 113 Ice: 1 ball
• Crochet Hook: 5.50mm (UK 5 / USA I/9)
• Crochet Hook: 5.00mm (UK 6 / USA H/8)

Techniques and Stitches

Although listed as a knitting pattern in its product category, the scarf — like the other pieces in this set — is worked using crochet techniques, with tension swatches specified for both the 5.50mm and 5.00mm crochet hooks. The tension guide states that 3 repeats and 8 rows measure 10 cm / 4 inches using the 5.50mm hook, and 3 repeats and 8 rows measure 9.5 cm / 3¾ inches using the 5.00mm hook. Working to the correct tension is essential to achieving the stated finished dimensions, particularly given the length of the scarf.

The Hat

What Is Being Made

The hat is designed to fit a 50 cm (19¾ inch) head circumference and measures 19 cm (7½ inches) in depth. It is worked as a one-size design intended to suit most adults. The use of the same three Loveful shades as the scarf ensures a perfectly matched set.
