About the Designs

The Burke Hat

The Burke Hat is a knitted beanie featuring a folded brim and a clean, rounded crown. It is offered in four sizes, with finished circumferences of 16, 18¼, 20, and 22¾ inches (40, 45.5, 50, and 57 cm) and lengths of 7, 7¾, 8¾, and 9½ inches (17.5, 19.5, 22, and 24 cm) measured with the brim folded up. The hat shown in the pattern photography is knitted in size 3 at 20 inches / 50 cm circumference. This range of sizing makes the Burke Hat suitable for a wide variety of adult head sizes.

The hat is worked in the round on a 16-inch / 40 cm circular needle in size 10.5 / 6.5 mm, transitioning to double-pointed needles (or the knitter's preferred method for working small circumferences in the round) as stitches decrease toward the crown. This is a common and practical construction approach for seamless hats, allowing the brim and body to be knitted continuously without seaming.

For yarn, the hat calls for Berroco Stratto in two colorways:

• 2 balls of #12705 Dusk (C1)
• 1 ball of #12701 Flax (C2)

The two-color design introduces a colorwork or striping element that adds visual interest to an otherwise straightforward silhouette. The folded brim is a particularly appealing detail, giving the hat a polished, finished look while also providing extra warmth around the ears.

The Burke Scarf

The Burke Scarf is a wide, substantial accessory with finished dimensions of approximately 8 inches / 20 cm wide by 60 inches / 150 cm long — a generous length that allows for a variety of wrapping and draping styles. The scarf is worked flat or in a straightforward construction suited to its rectangular shape, and it incorporates three colorways of Berroco Stratto for a rich, layered stripe sequence.

The scarf requires:

• 2 balls of #12705 Dusk (C1)
• 2 balls of #12701 Flax (C2)
• 2 balls of #12703 Granola (C3)

The three-color palette — Dusk, Flax, and Granola — creates a warm, earthy combination well suited to autumn and winter wear. Using the same colorways across both the hat and scarf allows knitters to create a fully coordinated accessories set with a cohesive aesthetic.

Yarn: Berroco Stratto

Berroco Stratto is a chunky-weight yarn sold in 50-gram balls. As a chunky yarn, Stratto knits up quickly on larger needles, making it an excellent choice for accessories projects where the knitter wants satisfying progress and a cozy, substantial fabric. Chunky yarns in this weight category typically produce a lofty, warm fabric with excellent stitch definition — ideal for textured stitch patterns, stripes, and colorwork alike.

Needles and Notions

Both pieces in the Burke set are worked on size 10.5 / 6.5 mm needles, or the size needed to obtain the correct gauge. For the hat specifically, the pattern
