All four designs are offered in one size.

The Four Designs at a Glance

1. Rib Hat

The Rib Hat is a classic, snug-fitting beanie worked entirely in k2, p2 rib with a selvedge stitch at each end for a neat finish. The brim is designed to be turned back, giving the hat a double-layered, cosy look. The finished measurements are 51 cm (20 in) around the head by 20 cm (8 in) long with the brim turned back.

• Yarn: 1 x 100g ball of Stylecraft Grace in shade Old Rose 2162
• Needles: A pair of 3.75 mm (UK 9 – USA 5) knitting needles, plus a stitch marker
• Stitches used: k2, p2 rib with selvedge stitches; top shaping uses a decrease row
• Tension: 20 sts and 30 rows to 10 cm over k2, p2 rib (slightly stretched) on 3.75 mm needles

The rib fabric is formed by repeating a straightforward row of p3, *k2, p2; rep from * to last 3 sts, k3, which creates the characteristic stretchy, ridged texture that hugs the head comfortably. The top is shaped with a dedicated decrease row to draw the crown in neatly, reducing from 102 cast-on stitches down to 92 stitches before further shaping.

2. Stocking Stitch Hat

The Stocking Stitch Hat offers a smooth, classic finish using the most fundamental of knitting fabrics — stocking stitch (knit on the right side, purl on the wrong side). This hat shares the same finished dimensions as the Rib Hat, making it a great companion piece or a simpler alternative for those who prefer a clean, flat fabric.

• Yarn: 1 x 100g ball of Stylecraft Grace in shade Almond 2164
• Needles: A pair of 3.75 mm (UK 9 – USA 5) knitting needles and a pair of 4.5 mm (UK 7) knitting needles
• Stitches used: Stocking stitch

Stocking stitch is the go-to fabric for smooth, drapey knitwear. Because the fabric naturally curls at the edges, it is well suited to a rolled brim or a structured crown shaping, and the use of two needle sizes suggests a ribbed or tighter brim section transitioning into a looser body for comfort and shape.

3. Lace Scarf

The Lace Scarf is a generously sized, elegant accessory measuring 40 cm (15¾ in) wide by 180 cm (71 in) long — a truly luxurious wrap-length scarf. It is worked in a lace stitch pattern, which introduces yarn-over increases and corresponding decreases to create an open, decorative fabric with a delicate, airy appearance.

• Yarn: 2 x 100g balls of Stylecraft Grace in shade Sky 2163
• Stitches used: Lace pattern (yarn-overs and decreases to form an openwork design)
