Hats, Snood and Scarf in Sirdar Harrap Tweed Chunky – Pattern 7852

This Sirdar pattern 7852 is a beginner-friendly knitting collection that includes four separate designs: a T-Bag Hat, a Pull On Hat, a Snood, and a Scarf, all worked in the warm and characterful Sirdar Harrap Tweed Chunky yarn. The pattern covers sizes from age 4 years through to adult, making it a versatile choice for knitters who want to create coordinating accessories for the whole family. Because the yarn is chunky weight and the techniques are straightforward, this is an ideal project for those new to knitting or anyone looking for a satisfying, quick-to-complete make.

Yarn and Materials

All four designs are worked in Sirdar Harrap Tweed Chunky (F212), a chunky-weight yarn with a rustic tweed character. Each design uses a specific shade:

• T-Bag Hat – shade 104, 1 x 100g ball for all sizes
• Pull On Hat – shade 100, 1 x 100g ball for all sizes
• Snood – shade 110, 2 x 100g balls
• Scarf – shade 105, 2 x 100g balls

The pattern notes that Sirdar Ophelia, Sirdar Sylvan Chunky, and Sirdar Aura are also suitable yarn substitutes, though yarn amounts may vary when substituting. Two pairs of knitting needles are required: 6½mm (UK3 / US10.5) needles for the main fabric of the snood and scarf, and 5½mm (UK5 / US9) needles for the ribbed sections of the T-Bag Hat and Pull On Hat. A cable needle is also required for working the cable panel on the T-Bag Hat.

The T-Bag Hat

The T-Bag Hat is the most technically interesting design in the collection, featuring a decorative cable panel as its centrepiece. The front and back pieces are worked alike, making construction logical and straightforward. The cable panel measures 14cm (5½ inches) in width across its 26 stitches, giving the hat a bold, textured focal point that elevates it beyond a simple beanie.

Techniques and Stitches – T-Bag Hat

• 1x1 Rib – used for the hat brim, worked on the smaller 5½mm needles to create a neat, stretchy edge that sits snugly on the head
• Cable knitting – the signature feature of this hat, worked using a cable needle
• C6B (Cable 6 Back) – slip next 3 stitches to a cable needle held at the back, knit 3, then knit 3 from the cable needle; creates a right-leaning cable twist
• C6F (Cable 6 Front) – slip next 3 stitches to a cable needle held at the front, knit 3, then knit 3 from the cable needle; creates a left-leaning cable twist
• T2L (Twist 2 Left) – knit into the back of the 2nd stitch on the left-hand needle, then knit into the front of the 1st stitch, slipping both stitches off together; adds a subtle twisted-stitch detail
• T2R (Twist 2 Right) – knit into the front of the 2nd stitch on the left-hand needle, then knit into the front of the 1st stitch, slipping both stitches off together
• Shaping – decreasing stitches are worked to shape the crown of the hat

The stitch count across the hat body varies by size: 38, 40, 42, and 44 stitches for the four size options
