Accessories in Sirdar Supersoft Aran - 2449 Knitting Patterns

This downloadable PDF pattern collection features four coordinated knitted accessories designed for children aged 4 to 12 years, all crafted using Sirdar Supersoft Aran yarn. The collection includes a boy's scarf, girl's snood, boy's pull-on hat, and girl's fingerless mittens, offering versatile options for creating a complete accessory set in soft, comfortable aran-weight yarn.

Boy's Scarf

The boy's scarf is a straightforward knitted accessory available in three size options to accommodate children aged 4 to 6, 7 to 9, and 10 to 12 years. The smallest size measures approximately 20 x 115 cm (8 x 45¼ inches), while the largest extends to 24 x 125 cm (9½ x 49½ inches). This project uses two contrasting shades of Sirdar Supersoft Aran yarn, with one 100g ball each of shade 917 and shade 920 required for any size option.

Girl's Snood

The girl's snood is a circular cowl-style accessory that provides warmth and comfort around the neck and shoulders. Designed in three graduated sizes, the smallest snood measures 16 x 42 cm (6¼ x 16½ inches) in depth and width, while the largest reaches 16 x 58 cm (6¼ x 22¾ inches). The snood construction uses two coordinating shades of Sirdar Supersoft Aran: shade 820 and shade 919, with one 100g ball of each color needed regardless of size selection.

Boy's Pull-On Hat

The boy's pull-on hat is a classic, easy-to-wear knitted hat designed to fit average-sized children's heads within the specified age ranges. This hat pattern utilizes the same yarn combination as the boy's scarf—one 100g ball each of Sirdar Supersoft Aran shade 917 and shade 920—allowing for coordinated accessory sets. The pull-on style offers a comfortable, stretchy fit suitable for active children.

Girl's Fingerless Mittens

The girl's fingerless mittens provide hand warmth while leaving fingers free for dexterity and activity. Available in three sizes to fit hand widths of 16 cm (6¼ inches), 17 cm (6½ inches), and 19 cm (7½ inches), these mittens accommodate the full age range from 4 to 12 years. The mittens are knitted in a single shade of Sirdar Supersoft Aran—shade 919—requiring one 100g ball for completion.

Yarn and Needles

All patterns in this collection use Sirdar Supersoft Aran yarn, which is an aran-weight yarn offering softness and comfort ideal for children's accessories. The yarn is worked on 5mm (UK size 6 / USA size 8) knitting needles. The yarn amounts specified are based on average requirements when the recommended tension and yarn weight are used as directed in the pattern.

Design Versatility

The use of contrasting color combinations throughout most patterns—such as shade 917 with shade 920 in the boy's scarf and hat, and shade 820 with shade 919 in the girl's snood—allows for creative color blocking and visual interest in the finished pieces. The fingerless mittens offer a single-color option in shade 919, providing a simpler alternative for those preferring a solid-colored accessory.

Pattern Scope

This comprehensive accessory collection demonstrates essential knitting techniques suitable for creating wearable items in aran-weight yarn. The variety of projects—from linear scarves to circular cowls, fitted hats, and shaped mittens—provides opportunities to practice different construction methods and garment shaping within a single pattern set.
