Shine Knitted Accessories in King Cole Shine DK – Pattern 5047

This downloadable PDF pattern from King Cole presents a collection of knitted accessories worked in King Cole Shine DK yarn.

Designs Included in the Pattern

Chevron Scarf

The Chevron Scarf is a classic long scarf featuring a striking zigzag chevron stitch pattern. The chevron design is achieved through a combination of strategic increases and decreases, creating a rhythmic, eye-catching texture along the length of the scarf. This is a wonderful project for knitters looking to practise shaping techniques within a relatively straightforward repeat.

• Techniques used: Chevron stitch patterning, paired increases and decreases to form the zigzag motif
• Key stitches: Knit (K), purl (P), CDD (central double decrease – slip two stitches together as if to knit, knit the next stitch, pass the slipped stitches over), Kbf (knit into back and front of the same stitch for a single increase), Ktbl (knit through back loop), Sl1 (slip next stitch purlwise)
• Tension: 22 sts x 30 rows = 10cm / 4in in stocking stitch
• Yarn: King Cole Shine DK

Chevron Cowl

Complementing the Chevron Scarf, the Chevron Cowl applies the same distinctive zigzag pattern in a circular or cowl format, creating a snug and stylish neck warmer. The cowl format means the chevron repeat wraps around the neck seamlessly, producing a polished, professional finish. This is a great project for knitters who want to explore how flat chevron patterns translate into a more structured accessory shape.

• Techniques used: Chevron stitch repeat, increases and decreases to maintain the zigzag design
• Key stitches: K, P, CDD, Kbf, Ktbl, Sl1, Sl1 wyif (slip stitch with yarn in front)
• Tension: 22 sts x 30 rows = 10cm / 4in in stocking stitch
• Yarn: King Cole Shine DK

Scarflette

The Scarflette is a shorter, more compact neck accessory that sits neatly around the collar area. Scarflettes are a popular modern alternative to full-length scarves, offering warmth and style without the bulk. This design is ideal for wearing under a coat or as a standalone accessory with a casual outfit. The pattern uses a combination of knit and purl stitches to build texture and structure.

• Techniques used: Textured stitch patterning, neat edge finishing
• Key stitches: K, P, Sl1, Ktbl, and slip stitch edging techniques including Sl1 wyif
• Tension: 22 sts x 30 rows = 10cm / 4in in stocking stitch
• Yarn: King Cole Shine DK

Cowl

A standalone Cowl design is also included in this collection, offering a simpler or differently styled neck warmer option alongside the Chevron Cowl. Cowls are enduringly popular accessories because they are quick to knit and highly versatile. This version in King Cole Shine DK
