King Cole Urban Pattern 4333: Snood/Cowl, Neck Roll, Beanie, Scarf, Neck Wrap, Shoulder Wrap, and Muffler

This King Cole pattern 4333 is a comprehensive knitting collection featuring seven distinct accessories — a Snood/Cowl, Neck Roll, Beanie, Scarf, Neck Wrap, Shoulder Wrap, and Muffler — all knitted in King Cole Urban yarn. Rated as Easy and suitable for intermediate knitters, this downloadable PDF pattern offers a versatile wardrobe of cold-weather accessories that can be worked up using the same yarn and a consistent set of techniques. Because King Cole Urban is described as a unique yarn whose pattern effect differs across each piece, every finished garment will have its own individual character — making this collection especially appealing for those who enjoy textural, one-of-a-kind results.

Yarn and Materials

All seven designs are worked in King Cole Urban, an aran-weight yarn. The pattern notes that tension should be measured over plain yarn rather than any Lurex or fur elements within the yarn's construction, which hints at the yarn's distinctive, multi-textured composition. The recommended knitting needles are 5mm (US 8) as the primary size, with 4mm needles used for ribbed borders and edgings. Knitters are advised to check their tension carefully and adjust needle size accordingly, as achieving the correct tension is described as essential.

• Yarn: King Cole Urban (aran weight)
• Primary needles: 5mm (US 8) knitting needles
• Secondary needles: 4mm knitting needles (for ribbed sections)
• Tension: 16 stitches and 26 rows to 10cm (4in) over stocking stitch

Techniques and Stitches Used

The pattern draws on a small but well-chosen set of classic knitting techniques, making it accessible while still producing polished, professional results. The combination of stocking stitch bodies with garter stitch or rib borders is a time-honoured approach that adds structure and prevents edges from curling.

Stitches Featured Across the Collection

• Stocking Stitch (St-St): The main fabric stitch used across most of the designs. Worked by alternating a knit row (right side) and a purl row (wrong side), stocking stitch creates a smooth, classic fabric that showcases the texture and colour variation of King Cole Urban beautifully.
• Garter Stitch (G-St): Every row is knitted, producing a ridged, reversible fabric. Used for borders and edgings throughout the collection, garter stitch lies flat naturally and adds a neat, tidy finish.
• 2x2 Rib: A stretchy, structured ribbing formed by alternating two knit stitches and two purl stitches. Used for cuffs, borders, and the cast-on and cast-off edges of several accessories, 2x2 rib provides elasticity and a snug fit. The pattern specifies the exact row-by-row construction for this rib.
• M1 (Make One): An increase stitch worked by picking up the horizontal loop between the last and next stitch and knitting into the back of it, creating a neat, almost invisible increase.
• K2tog (Knit Two Together): A standard right-leaning decrease used prominently in the crown shaping of the Beanie. Multiple decrease rows are worked at intervals, reducing stitch counts progressively to shape the top of the hat.

The Snood/Cowl

The Snood/Cowl is a circular neck accessory that sits around the neck and shoulders, providing warmth without the bulk of a full scarf. In this pattern, it is cast on using 4mm needles with 122 stitches and begins with four rows of 2x2 rib to create a neat, stretchy lower border. The work then transitions to 5mm needles and continues in stocking stitch until the piece measures 29cm, ending on a wrong-side row. The top border mirrors the bottom, returning to 4mm needles for a further
