Sirdar Flurry Accessories Knitting Pattern 7957 – Snood, Scarf, Hat and Wrist Warmers for Ages 4 to Adult

Pattern 7957 from Sirdar is a versatile chunky knitting pattern offering four cosy cold-weather accessories in one downloadable PDF: a snood, a scarf, a hat, and a pair of wrist warmers. Sizes range from age 4–6 years through to women's adult, making this an ideal pattern for knitting a coordinated set for children and grown-ups alike. Rated as intermediate difficulty, it suits knitters who are comfortable with basic shaping and construction techniques.

What Is Being Made

Snood

The snood is a circular neck warmer that sits around the neck and lower face, offering warmth without the bulk of a full scarf. Finished widths range from 28 cm (11 in) for ages 4–6 up to 36 cm (14 in) for women, with lengths from 14 cm (5½ in) to 20 cm (8 in) depending on size.

Scarf

The scarf is knitted to a generous length, reaching up to 150 cm (59 in) in the adult women's size, with a width at its widest point of 22 cm (8¾ in). The shaped width suggests a slight taper or design detail that adds visual interest beyond a simple rectangle.

Hat

The hat is designed to fit an average-sized head for each age group indicated. It is the only piece in the pattern that uses two needle sizes, which typically indicates a ribbed or textured brim worked on smaller needles before the main body is worked on larger needles — a classic construction method that ensures a snug, comfortable fit.

Wrist Warmers

The wrist warmers are fingerless mitts designed to cover the wrist and hand without enclosing the fingers, keeping hands warm while maintaining dexterity. Circumferences range from 17 cm (6½ in) for younger sizes up to 20 cm (8 in) for the adult women's size.

Yarn and Materials

All four accessories are knitted in Sirdar Flurry (F221), a chunky-weight yarn with a distinctive fluffy, textured character that gives each finished piece a soft, cosy appearance. Each accessory uses a different shade of Flurry, allowing for a colour-coordinated yet varied set:

• Snood: Sirdar Flurry shade 554 – 1 x 50g ball across all sizes
• Scarf: Sirdar Flurry shade 557 – 1 x 50g ball for ages 4–6, and 2 x 50g balls for ages 7–9, 10–12, and women's
• Hat: Sirdar Flurry shade 550 – 1 x 50g ball across all sizes
• Wrist Warmers: Sirdar Flurry shade 553 – 1 x 50g ball across all sizes

The pattern notes that Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky is also suitable as a yarn substitute, though yarn amounts may vary when an alternative yarn is used.

Needles Required

• 5½mm (UK5 / USA9) knitting needles – used for the snood, scarf, hat body, and wrist warmers
• 4½mm (UK7 / USA7) knitting needles – used for the hat, most likely for the brim or ribbed sections

Techniques and Stitches

As an intermediate knitting pattern, pattern 7957 draws on a range of fundamental and slightly more advanced flat knitting techniques. Working with a chunky yarn on relatively large needles means projects knit up quickly, which is particularly rewarding for newer intermediate knitters building confidence.
