I've made this hat for warmth in the colder months. When my first sample came off the needles and I put it on, it felt so snuggly I couldn't think of another name for it. It's made with chunky yarn, in two colours. You need about 75g (3/4 ball) of your primary colour, and 25g of a contrast colour. And if you don't want to make it in chunky, you can easily substitute that for DK held double which should work well (just check your gauge).

The pattern is quick to make (well, it's chunky!) and there's an interesting stitch to learn, which I've called Chrysalis. The pattern includes a link to a youtube tutorial on how to do this stitch.

Testers have agreed that this pattern is best suited for an intermediate level knitter, or a very adventurous and determined beginner who is keen to learn. 

 Please note this is PDF pattern only (with link to a video).

I have written the pattern for three colours but you can make it with just two if you like. As you read the pattern it will become obvious how to incorporate fewer or more colours. My preference is to use a very light Aran (worsted) weight wool for the main colour that forms the triangles, and a slightly lighter DK paired with a mohair for the backing colours. However, if you’re not a mohair fan, just use the same weight yarn throughout.
  
The pattern is entirely written out. No charts.
  
The pattern is written in two sizes, for a more snug cowl which only goes once around your neck, and for a larger cowl which loops generously a couple of times around.
**Finished measurements**
After blocking: Large (small) 160 (64) cm long (total circumference) x 26cm wide (depending on how hard you block)
**Yarn**
(If using mohair, hold double with CCs, and make sure CCs are one yarn weight lighter than your MC)
If you struggle to find worsted weight, then you can also hold fingering yarn (400m per 100g) doubled up which adds a nice feature (and is what I did in my pink version).
Main colour (MC): Worsted (light arran) weight, white 100g (200m). NB – as this requires 100g of yarn, beware that you could end up needing a little more than one ball (1 in 10 testers required more than 100g). Either be ready with a second ball, or be prepared to do one fewer pattern repeats.
Contrast Colour 1 (CC1): DK dark pink 50g (110m) - I originally used hand dyed cocheneal from Burt Fen Alpaca
Contrast Colour 2 (CC2): DK light pink 50g (110m) - I originally used hand dyed cocheneal from Burt Fen Alpaca
Mohair (always held double with CC1 and CC2): white, lace weight (8-900m per 100g) 
**Needles + notions**
● US size 7 needle / 4.5mm needle for main body. 
● A 5mm is also useful for the cast off - but not the end of the world if you don’t have one. 
● 100 or 160cm circular needle (use a 50cm one if you’re making a smaller size)
● Stitch markers. 

 

Chesterfield Cowl Pattern - Mosaic Stripes Cables - Aran / Worsted Yarn - Pattern PDF

University scarves most often have long stripes of different colours, taken from a particular university’s crest or colour scheme. These long vertical stripes are awkward to knit with normal scarf construction, unless you turn the scarf on its side to knit.
  
This simple pattern is all about creating an elegant, simple, perfect scarf. The elegance is created by the beautiful squishy icord edge which creates the ‘finished’ look.
  
This scarf pattern features two colours; a background colour and a long stripe in the centre. It is worked entirely with knit stitches for easy knitting. But because of the unusual length-ways long rows, it can appear as though it’s more complex.
  
The pattern is written so that you use around 200g for the background and 50g for the stripe in the centre (250g of dk yarn in total). But if you want to adapt the pattern for a university with different numbers of stripes you can simply adjust your colours accordingly. 

 

This pattern is written to help you create something unique. You have here all of the instructions to make exactly the same scarf that I made. You ALSO have the ability to customise it. Each of the sections (or blocks, as I will call them) has a different pattern and is easy to substitute – so if you particularly like (or don’t like) one, you can make more (or less) of it. You can also make the scarf wider, even as much as a wrap if you like, but adding more repeats to each block. The pattern is written so enable you to make what you want.
  
I used 4 colours, all from Cool Woolings, in Aran (=worsted) weight (200m/100g). The quantities I used are approximate and will vary if you make the scarf wider, longer, or shorter.
C1: Is it Spearmint or Peppermint 140g
C2: Hoops and Loops (Boucle, Aran) 50g
C3: Fruity Salad 40g
C4: Glowstick 30g
  
Scarf is knitted on 5mm needles. 

 

This scarf is inspired by icy winter. The spikey icicle edge is knitted first in this scarf. And when just 3 stitches of it remain, the rest of the scarf will start to grow into life – you will pick up stitches gradually as you work your way through the pattern. 
  
Although this scarf is knitted in lighter yarn (fingering, or sock weight), it is still beautifully warm. It’s both nice and wide at one end to wrap you up, or fold double, and the tartan section is essentially two layers thick because both colours are used in each row. The length of it also allows for an extra wrap (or two) around your neck to keep you cozy. 
  
In terms of colour choice, I’m using The Yarn Whisperer’s kit [https://www.yarnwhisperer.co.uk/shop](https://www.yarnwhisperer.co.uk/) , which focusses on bright sparkling white alongside blue hues to recall snow and ice in a beautiful colour pallete that Kitey (The Yarn Whisperer) created from pictures I sent him of Iceland (as well as Frozen's Elsa).

**Finished measurements**
After blocking: 180cm long x 60cm wide at wide end (depending on how hard you block)
**Yarn:** 
All yarns are fingering weight (366m / 400 yards per 100g), using

Colour 2 (C2): 55g light blue (200m)
Colour 3 (C3): 17g speckled light blue (62m)
Colour 4 (C4): 15.5g speckled dark blue (57m)
**Needles + notions**
3.5 and 3 mm needles (US size 4/ 2.5 needles). The 3mm needles must be on a long circular (or interchangeable needle. 
160cm circular needle (you’ll get away with a 100cm one).

**Gauge**
After blocking: 10cm is 32 stitches in stockinette on 3mm needles. 

 

I’ve designed this Nordic style hat so that you never have to carry floats. The so-called rule in stranded colourwork is that you should carry floats if there are more than 5 stitches in between successive knits in a particular colour. There are actually three points when you change rows where you’ll have 6 stitches, but these are one oƯs, so I hope that you can enjoy knitting this pattern without having to catch a single float!
  
I’ve worked this in a deep red and white, but any pair of colours will look amazing – just make sure they are high contrast so you can see all of your beautiful colourwork.
  
If you want to knit this for a smaller head, try swatching on a slightly smaller needle (eg a 3.5mm) though this might make the fabric a little dense.
  
If the hat looks a little tall to you, the pattern will describe where you can remove around 4cm of height from it.

Designed with a creative twist, the pattern offers the perfect opportunity to showcase your favourite leftover yarns if you want to add bands of extra colours. I have used 4 colours - 2 of the colours need almost entire skeins (100g) but the other two need around half balls. But each row of bricks uses approximately 5g (about 18m) of yarn, and the bind off uses 10g, providing opportunities to utilize your stash if you want to bring in more colours. (if you have to go shopping for new yarn though, I promise I won't tell).

My specific colours and yarns are:
Colour 1 (C1): Undercover Otter Eventide: Unreturned. 100g (366m)
Colour 2 (C2): Undercover Otter Eventide: Gamera. 63g (231m) 
Colour 3 (C3): Locoporella Epic Yak: Gold. 80g (293m)
Colour 4 (C4): Undercover Otter Eventide: Brundle: 50g (183m)

The construction of this scarf is slightly unusual. It features a very short cast on, which is then followed by knitting the lace scalloped edge. You then pick up stitches, a few at a time, building up the triangle shapes that ultimately make the scarf. 

Despite its lightness, this scarf features a stunning band of slip stitches that creates an extra layer of insulation, ensuring you stay snug on even the coldest days. Its generous length allows for multiple wraps around your neck, providing the ultimate cozy experience.

This scarf features two colours, and is a warmer and thicker design, in worsted weight wool. It’s shape is a highly elongated triangle, so that it is worn more as a scarf than a shawl. And 
although you end up knitting some very long rows along its length, the cast on is just 5. Hooray! 

The scarf can be knitted in a single colour if you prefer, or adapted to feature many more stripes. If you knit as per instructions, you’ll need two balls of worsted in one colour and one in the other (three balls in total)

This scarf features four colours, and is a warmer and thicker design, in worsted weight wool. It turns many traditional elements of knitted scarfs upside down (or at least rotated a bit) as the scarf is knitted lengthways, and also from the midline outwards. 


If you want a narrower scarf or would prefer one of the edges to be straight, the second half doesn’t need to be knitted (it’s knitted from picked up stitches in what becomes the middle) – in which case the amounts of yarn you need will be roughly half what’s stated in this pattern.

Sizing:
After blocking: 180cm long x 40cm wide (depending on how hard you block). Regarding the length - it's a repeated pattern so you can make it longer or shorter (but remember to adjust the amount of yarn you need!)

Yarn: 
All yarns are worsted weight (200m per 100g), using Malabrigo Seis Cabos
Main colour (MC): Natural, 150g (300m)
Contrast Colour 1 (CC1): Molino 70g (140m)
Contrast Colour 2 (CC2): Indecita 80g (160m) 
Contrast Colour 3 (CC3): Teal Feather 40g (80m)

Needles + notions
US size 7 needle / 4.5mm needle for main body. A 3mm is also extremely useful if you’re using a circular needle 
(especially for tight knitters), as is a 5mm. But not the end of the world if you don’t have these. 
160cm circular needle.



This scarf features five colours, and is great for using up leftovers. Aside from the main colour (which takes around 3/4 of a ball of sock/ light-fingering yarn), you only need around a third of a ball of each of the other 4 colours. The brioche and zigzag sections benefit from strong contrast colours. Whereas other parts of the scarf can use gentler contrasts, as well as bold choices – whatever you prefer. The two colours marked ‘strong contrast’ can be the same yarn if you like.
 
Blocking is essential for a patter like this – to open up the holes, to achieve the required length, and to show off the colours in areas like the honeycomb and brioche. 

Before you start, if you’ve not knitted a 2 colour icord before, and picked up two colours of stitches from it, it’s worth trying this (part 1) over 20 stitches before you dive into the whole scarf. The same goes for 2-colour brioche. However the rest is more straightforward. 

Finished measurements
After blocking: 180cm long x 28cm wide (depending on how hard you block)

Yarn: 
All yarns are sock weight (400m per 100g)

Main colour (MC): Malabrigo Lettuce, 304m 76g
Strong Contrast A (SCA): Malabrigo Fiona (Dark Green) 92m 23g – if not using, then combine total with SCB)
Strong Contrast B (SCB): Malabrigo Whale’s Road (Dark Purple) 148m 37g 
Contrast C (CCC): Malabrigo Sabiduria (mid blue-purple) 120m 30g
Contrast D (CCD): Malabrigo Fucsia (pink) 92m 23g 

Needles + notions
US size 4 needle / 3.5mm needle for main body
160cm circular needle
US size 6 / 4.5mm for icord cast on and bind off (double pointed, or a circular needle)
At least 20 stitch markers

Gauge
After blocking: 10cm is 22 stitches in stockinette.



Only attempt if you are comfortable knitting two colour brioche in the round - plenty of good YouTube videos out there to help with that. 

Pick two contrasting colours to make the hat really pop 

The decreases are fiddly and take patience. Make sure you have knitted all the stitches together before you pull them off your needle. 

When casting on, you want stretch. To do this I recommend holding a second needle next to your cast on needle to give your cast on stitches some extra yarn. Using a second needle of the same size gives enough ease in the brim.
