Rowan Marion Headscarf by Jennie Atkinson
What Is Being Made
Marion is an intermediate-level headscarf pattern combining knitting and optional crochet techniques. The finished piece measures approximately 61 cm (24 inches) wide and 36 cm (14 inches) deep, making it a versatile accessory suitable for various styling options. This design features decorative beadwork integrated throughout the knitted fabric.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
The Marion headscarf is constructed using stockinette stitch as the primary fabric base, with a charted colorwork or textured pattern panel worked across the center 73 stitches. The pattern employs several key shaping and decorative techniques:
- Slip stitch decreases (sl 1, K1, psso) and knit two together (K2tog) reductions worked symmetrically on right-side rows to create a tapered silhouette
- Purl two together (P2tog) and purl two together through back loop (P2tog tbl) decreases on wrong-side rows for balanced shaping
- Charted stitch pattern worked over 73 center stitches, with rows 1 to 42 worked once and rows 43 to 58 repeated three times total
- Bead placement technique using a special abbreviation method where beads are slipped up next to worked stitches on the right side of the fabric, requiring 48 beads total distributed throughout the design
Materials and Tools
The Marion pattern requires Rowan Summerlite 4 ply yarn in the photographed colorway Pure White 417, with one 50-gram ball needed to complete the project. Knitting is worked on 3mm (US 2/3) needles, with a 3.00mm (US C2/D3) crochet hook listed as optional for finishing details. The design incorporates Swarovski Aquamarine faceted crystal beads (6mm size, product code 9825101-00008), with one pack containing 50 beads—only 48 are required for the completed headscarf.
Tension and Sizing
The pattern specifies a tension of 28 stitches and 36 rows to 10 centimeters measured over stockinette stitch using 3mm needles. Achieving correct tension is essential for the headscarf to reach its intended finished dimensions. The pattern begins with a cast-on of 171 stitches and progressively decreases through paired shaping rows, ending at 47 stitches after the final charted pattern repeat.
