Rainbow double-knitted scarf and stranded colourwork hat

Introducing a beautifully crafted extra-warm, double-knitted scarf and matching hat set, designed in vibrant rainbow colors that brighten even the cloudiest days. This delightful knitting pattern is perfect for knitters looking to refine their double-knitting and stranded techniques. Crafted back and forth using two needles for the scarf and knitted in the round for the hat, this set is both functional and stylish, guaranteed to keep you cozy throughout the colder months!

The completed scarf measures an impressive 140 cm (55 inches) in length (excluding fringe) and 18 cm (7 inches) in width, providing ample coverage to wrap around your neck comfortably. With the addition of charming fringe, the total length extends to 160 cm (63 inches). The hat pattern offers two sizes for versatility: one with a diameter of 61 cm and another at 55 cm, both requiring the same amount of yarn, making it an efficient and cost-effective project. If you're planning to knit just the scarf, you'll need only 2 balls of yarn in each color, making it a practical choice for your knitting endeavors.

For the scarf sample, we have used Moda Vera 8 ply yarn, while the hat sample features Morris & Sons Estate 8 ply. However, we've also provided color options and yarn quantities for Debbie Bliss Rialto DK, ensuring you have the flexibility to choose the perfect materials for your project. Additionally, we've included patterns for Schachenmayer Merino Extrafine 120, offering even more variety for your knitting experience.

Elevate your crafting skills and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a stunning matching set with this easy-to-follow knitting pattern. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting, this project is designed to bring joy and warmth to your winter wardrobe. Stay cozy and fashionable with our rainbow scarf and hat—your perfect companions to combat the chilly weather!
