Tahki Yarns Hazelton Scarf & Reversible Hat
Overview
The Hazelton Scarf & Reversible Hat is an intermediate-level knitting pattern designed by Mary Beth Kelso and Rosemary Drysdale. This two-piece set combines a long, elegant scarf with a matching reversible hat, both featuring sophisticated cable work. The pattern is presented in both charted and written-out instructions, making it accessible to knitters who prefer either format.
Scarf Details
Construction and Measurements: The scarf is worked flat in a single piece from end to end, measuring 72 inches (183 cm) in length with an additional 26 inches (approximately) added by tassels for a total length of approximately 98 inches (249 cm). The scarf width is 7 inches (18 cm), creating a substantial rectangular accessory suitable for wrapping and styling.
Techniques and Stitch Work: The Hazelton Scarf employs cable knitting as its primary decorative technique, worked flat on straight or circular needles. The pattern incorporates several specialized knitting techniques including lifted increases (RLI and LLI), make-one increases (M1R and M1L), and cable crosses (1/1 RC and 1/1 LPC). The construction begins with a triangular increase section that establishes the foundation, followed by a center diamond section featuring cable motifs. This structural approach creates visual interest and dimension throughout the length of the scarf.
Materials: The scarf requires 4 hanks total of Tahki Superwash Merino Worsted Twist yarn, a 100% superwash merino wool with 220 yards per 100-gram hank. The pattern calls for two color options: 2 hanks in color 03 (stone) and 2 hanks in color 04 (dark brown), allowing for a two-tone striped or color-blocked effect. US 15 (10mm) needles are required, with the option of using either straight needles or circular needles depending on preference.
Hat Details
Construction and Measurements: The reversible hat is worked in the round, offering versatility in styling. The hat features an 18-inch (46 cm) circumference and 9-inch (23 cm) height, creating a comfortable fit for most adult head sizes. The reversible construction allows the wearer to display either color combination depending on preference.
Techniques and Stitch Work: The hat is constructed using circular needles and double-pointed needles (dpns) for seamless, in-the-round knitting. Like the scarf, the hat incorporates cable techniques and is worked at an intermediate difficulty level, requiring familiarity with cable crosses and circular knitting methods.
Materials: The hat requires 2 hanks of Tahki Superwash Merino Worsted Twist yarn—1 hank in color 03 (stone) and 1 hank in color 04 (dark brown). A 16-inch (40 cm) circular needle and double-pointed needles in US 15 (10mm) size are needed to achieve proper gauge.
Yarn and Gauge Information
Both projects use Tahki Superwash Merino Worsted Twist, a premium worsted-weight yarn composed of 100% superwash merino wool. This fiber choice provides softness, breathability, and easy care through machine washing. The pattern specifies a gauge of 12 stitches and 14 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch, worked on US 15 (10mm) needles. Achieving proper gauge is essential for obtaining the correct finished measurements.
Skill Level and Pattern Format
This intermediate-level pattern is suitable for knitters with experience in basic techniques who are ready to explore cable work and shaping methods. The dual format—both charted and written instructions—accommodates different learning preferences. The pattern includes comprehensive abbreviations and special technique explanations, such as detailed instructions for lifted increases (RLI and RH needle manipulation), making the more advanced elements accessible to intermediate knitters.
Finishing and Assembly
The scarf pattern includes tassel finishing, which adds approximately 26 inches to the total length and creates a polished, professional appearance. Both projects require a yarn needle for weaving in ends and securing the finished pieces.
