Projects Covered in This Pattern

Two Coloured Mittens

The two coloured mittens are worked in Sirdar Freya (F092) chunky yarn using two shades — shade 857 as the main colour and shade 859 as the contrast. The two-tone colourwork design gives these mittens a striking, contemporary look while remaining straightforward to knit. Each mitten requires just one 50g ball of each shade across all sizes, making this an economical and stash-friendly project.

Plain Mittens

The plain mittens are worked in a single colour — Sirdar Freya shade 860 — and require just one 50g ball regardless of size. This version is perfect for knitters who prefer a classic, unfussy aesthetic or who want to complete a quick gift project. The plain construction makes it an excellent introduction to mitten knitting for those newer to shaping techniques.

Two Coloured Scarf

The two coloured scarf pairs Sirdar Freya shade 857 (main) with shade 859 (contrast) to create a bold, striped or colour-blocked accessory. Yarn requirements scale with size, ranging from 2 balls of the main shade and 2 balls of the contrast for ages 4–6, up to 4 balls of the main shade and 2 balls of the contrast for the adult size. Finished dimensions range from 22 cm wide × 120 cm long (ages 4–6) to 28 cm wide × 150 cm long (adult), ensuring a generous, wrap-worthy length at every size.

Plain Scarf

The plain scarf is worked entirely in Sirdar Freya shade 860 and scales from 3 balls (ages 4–6) to 5 balls (adult size). Like the plain mittens, this version offers a clean, timeless look and lets the texture and warmth of the Freya chunky yarn speak for itself. The generous finished widths and lengths make these scarves truly functional winter accessories.

Yarn and Materials

All four projects are knitted in Sirdar Freya (F092), a chunky weight yarn sold in 50g balls. The three shades referenced in this pattern are 857, 859, and 860. Freya's chunky weight means projects knit up quickly, making it especially rewarding for gift knitting or last-minute seasonal projects.

Tension

The stated tension for this pattern is 14 stitches and 19 rows to 10 cm (4 inches) measured over stocking stitch on 6mm needles.
