A few years ago I came across some lovely super bulky yarn. I immediately liked to colours, but had no idea yet what to use the yarn for! The yarn itself has different colours and textures, so the pattern needed to be plain. Finally, I settled for a super easy hat and scarf.

You’ll find details on the hat here: The Easy Rib Hat

Yarn

Suggested yarn:

Super bulky yarn, you will need at least 240m

• You will need about 48m for the hat
• You will need about 192m for the scarf

The sample is shown in:

Lang Yarns Elena in colour 0061 (50% wool/50% acrylic, 100g = 60m)

Needles

• For the hat: 10,0mm/US 15 100cm/40” circular needles for magic loop or DPNs
• For the scarf: 10,0mm/US 15 60cm/24” circular needles (or longer if preferred)

Notions

• Scissors
• Darning needle

Construction

• The hat is knitted in the round and the crown is made by decreasing the number of stitches.
• The scarf is knitted from one tip to the other.

Finished Measurements

The hat fits an adult head. My head circumference is approximately 56cm and the hat fits me loosely. See ‘Sizes’ on how to adjust the size of your hat.

My finished scarf is 160cm/63in long and 20cm/8in wide (without tassels). I did not block the scarf.

Gauge

13 st x 11 rows = 10cm x 10cm / 4″ x 4″ worked in 1×1 rib on a 10,0mm/US 15 needle (unblocked).
