Lulu Outfit in Adriafil Candy – Free Crochet and Knitting Pattern for a Matching Hat and Scarf Set
The Lulu Outfit is a charming coordinated accessories set consisting of a cozy hat and a fringed openwork scarf, both worked in Adriafil Candy yarn in skyblue colourway no. 21. This is a downloadable PDF pattern available completely free of charge, making it an excellent choice for crafters looking to create a stylish, matching winter accessories set without a significant investment. The combination of knitting and crochet techniques used across the two pieces makes this pattern a rewarding project for crafters who enjoy working with both crafts, or who wish to practise and expand their skills.
Materials Overview
Both pieces in the Lulu Outfit are made using Adriafil Candy, a super chunky weight yarn, in skyblue no. 21. The super chunky weight of Candy means the set works up quickly and produces a wonderfully warm, substantial fabric ideal for cold-weather accessories.
- Scarf: Requires 200 g of Adriafil Candy in skyblue no. 21, worked with a crochet hook no. 6.00
- Hat: Requires 100 g of Adriafil Candy in skyblue no. 21, worked with knitting needles no. 9
The use of two different tools — a crochet hook for the scarf and knitting needles for the hat — gives each piece a distinct texture and character, while the shared yarn colourway ties the outfit together into a cohesive, coordinated look.
The Scarf
Design and Dimensions
The scarf is a generously sized piece, with a total length of 156 cm including fringe. Because the pattern is worked in an openwork stitch that has a natural tendency to slant, the width measurements are given in two ways: the width measured slantwise in the working direction is 24 cm, while the horizontal width when finished is 19 cm. This characteristic slant is a natural and attractive feature of the openwork stitch construction rather than an error, and crafters should bear this in mind when measuring their work.
Techniques and Stitches
The scarf is worked in crochet using an openwork stitch pattern that requires an even number of stitches. This lacy, open structure creates a lightweight yet visually interesting fabric that drapes beautifully despite the chunky weight of the yarn. The openwork stitch is worked over a simple three-row repeat:
- Row 1: Knitted stitch (worked as a standard stitch row)
- Row 2: K1, then repeat yarn over, slip 1, k1, pass slipped stitch over across the row, ending k1 — this creates the characteristic open, lacy effect
- Row 3: Repeat from Row 1
The scarf also features a fringe at the ends, which adds to its overall length and gives the finished piece a classic, bohemian feel. The fringe is included in the stated total length of 156 cm.
Gauge
The gauge for the scarf is 8.5 stitches and 11 rows to 10 x 10 cm, measured using a crochet hook no. 6.00 in the openwork stitch. Achieving the correct gauge is important for ensuring the scarf reaches the intended dimensions, so a tension swatch is always recommended before beginning.
The Hat
Design and Dimensions
The hat is designed to fit a head circumference of 56 cm, making it a standard adult size. It is worked in the round, which creates a seamless, neat finish well suited to a fitted accessory like a hat. The circular construction also means there is no seaming required once the knitting is complete.
Techniques and Stitches
The hat is worked in knitting on knitting needles no. 9 and is constructed in rounds. The pattern stitches used
