Women Accessories in Stylecraft Softie Chunky – Pattern 9818 (Downloadable PDF)

Pattern 9818 from Stylecraft is a collection of four women's accessories all knitted in Softie Chunky yarn. Designed at an intermediate skill level, the set includes a Chevron Scarf, an Infinity Cowl, a Beret, and Lace Mittens — each a stylish, cosy project worked in chunky weight yarn. The pattern is available as a downloadable PDF, making it immediately accessible for knitters eager to get started.

Yarn and Materials

All four designs use Stylecraft Softie Chunky 100g balls. Softie Chunky is a popular chunky weight yarn well suited to accessories, offering warmth and a soft handle that works beautifully with textured and lace stitches. The colourways featured in the pattern are:

• Fig 3 987 – used for the Chevron Scarf
• Peony 3 986 – used for the Infinity Cowl
• Zest 3 985 – used for the Beret

The Lace Mittens colourway is also part of the collection. Needles of 7 mm are specified for the main tension swatch and for the Chevron Scarf, with other needle sizes used as appropriate across the designs.

Tension

The stated tension is 14 stitches × 20 rows to 10 cm (4 in) over pattern using 7 mm needles, or the size required to achieve the correct tension. Checking tension before beginning is especially important for fitted pieces such as the Beret and Mittens.

Chevron Scarf

What Is Made

A long, textured scarf measuring approximately 26 cm wide × 180 cm long (10¼ × 71 in). The generous length makes it easy to wrap, drape, or style in multiple ways.

Techniques and Stitches

The Chevron Scarf is worked in a chevron stitch pattern — a classic zigzag texture created through a structured combination of knit and purl stitches. The pattern is worked flat on 7 mm needles, casting on 37 stitches. The four-row repeat uses a carefully arranged sequence of knits and purls to build the chevron ridges:

• Row 1 (RS): P1, *k1, p2, k2, p2, k1, p1; repeat from * to end
• Row 2: *K3, p2, k2, p2, k1, [p2, k2] twice; repeat from * to last st, k1
• Row 3: *[P2, k2] twice, p3, k2, p2, k2, p1; repeat from * to last st, p1
• Row 4: *K1, p2, k2, p2, k5, p2, k2, p2; repeat from * to last st, k1

This four-row repeat creates the signature diagonal chevron effect without the need for yarn overs or decreases — making it an approachable textured pattern for intermediate knitters. 3 balls of Softie Chunky are required.

Infinity Cowl

What Is Made

A seamless-style Infinity Cowl measuring approximately 22 cm wide × 140 cm in circumference (8¾ × 55 in). The generous circumference allows the cowl to be looped around the neck for layered warmth and a contemporary look.

Techniques and Stitches

The Infinity Cowl is also worked in Stylecraft Softie Chunky and requires 3 balls in Peony 3 986. As with the scarf, the design uses knit and purl combinations to create surface
