Sweater & Scarf in Hayfield Bonus Chunky Tweed – Pattern 10339 by Sirdar

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Sirdar presents two coordinating designs worked in Hayfield Bonus Chunky Tweed yarn: a classic drop-shoulder style sweater and a generously sized striped scarf. Both pieces are rated as beginner level, making this an excellent choice for newer knitters looking to build confidence while producing stylish, wearable accessories and garments. The chunky weight yarn means projects work up quickly on larger needles, giving satisfying results in a relatively short time.

The Sweater

Design Overview

The sweater is a relaxed, cosy pullover worked in a bold multicolour stripe sequence using six carefully chosen shades of Hayfield Bonus Chunky Tweed. The design is sized to fit a wide range of chest measurements, from 81/86 cm (32/34 inches) up to 132/137 cm (52/54 inches), covering six sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL. The finished widths range from 108 cm to 160 cm, and full lengths from 70 cm to 80 cm, with sleeve lengths of approximately 47–49 cm depending on size. This generous, inclusive sizing range makes the pattern accessible to a broad audience.

Techniques and Construction

The sweater is knitted flat in separate pieces — typically a front, back, and two sleeves — which are then seamed together. This straightforward construction method is ideal for beginner knitters who are learning to follow shaping instructions and work with multiple yarn colours. The stripe sequence is achieved by changing yarns at the beginning of rows, a simple technique that creates a striking visual effect without the complexity of stranded colourwork or intarsia.

Stitches Used

• Knit and purl stitches – the fundamental building blocks of the fabric
• Rib stitch – typically used at cuffs, hem, and neckband to create neat, stretchy edges
• Stocking stitch (stockinette) – the smooth main fabric of the sweater body and sleeves
• Basic shaping – increases and decreases to shape the sleeves and neckline

Materials – Sweater

The sweater uses Hayfield Bonus Chunky Tweed in six shades, each designated as a separate yarn colour (A through F). The six shades referenced in the pattern are shade 105 Rose (Yarn A), shade 108 Amber (Yarn B), shade 103 Oyster (Yarn C), shade 109 Sage (Yarn D), Yarn E, and Yarn F. Each ball weighs 100g. Ball quantities vary by size:

• Yarn A: 3–4 balls depending on size
• Yarn B: 2–3 balls depending on size
• Yarn C: 2–3 balls depending on size
• Yarn D: 2 balls across all sizes
• Yarn E: 2–3 balls depending on size
• Yarn F: 1 ball across all sizes

As a chunky weight yarn, Hayfield Bonus Chunky Tweed is knitted on appropriately sized large knitting needles as specified in the pattern. The tweed texture of the yarn adds rustic, tactile depth to the finished fabric, enhancing the visual interest of the stripe sequence.

The Scarf

Design Overview

The scarf is a long, wide striped accessory measuring approximately 30 cm wide by 180 cm long (11¾ inches by 71 inches). Like the sweater, it uses all six shades of Hayfield Bonus Chunky Tweed in a coordinating stripe arrangement, making it a perfect companion piece to the sweater or a standalone accessory project. Its generous dimensions ensure it is both warm and stylish.
