UKHKA 156 Scarf, Bag and Snoods in Super Chunky – Pattern Summary

UKHKA 156 is a beginner-friendly knitting pattern from UKHKA that includes instructions for four separate accessories: a scarf, a bag, a snood, and a twisted snood. All four projects are worked in super chunky yarn, making them fast and satisfying to knit even for those who are just starting out. The entire collection is united by a single, straightforward technique — garter stitch — which means every piece is accessible to complete beginners while still producing stylish, cosy results.

Techniques and Stitches Used

Every project in this pattern relies on garter stitch (g-st), which is achieved simply by knitting every row. This is one of the most fundamental techniques in hand knitting and creates a squishy, reversible fabric with a distinctive ridged texture. Because there is no purling involved, these projects are ideal for building confidence with needles and yarn. Stitches are cast on using the thumb method, and all pieces are cast off knitways. The twisted snood involves a simple construction twist before seaming, adding a subtle design detail without requiring any advanced skill.

The Scarf

The scarf is a long, narrow accessory knitted entirely in garter stitch on 10mm needles. It is cast on with 12 stitches using the thumb method and worked straight until the piece measures 140 cm (55¼ in) in length, finishing with a right side row before casting off knitways. The finished scarf measures 15 cm wide by 140 cm long (6 x 55¼ in). After knitting, it is pinned out to the stated measurements, covered with damp cloths, and left to dry — a simple wet-blocking process that helps the fabric settle into its final shape. Approximately 210g of super chunky yarn is required.

The Bag

The bag is the most involved project in the collection and introduces a two-colour design using a main colour (M) and a contrast colour (C). The main piece is cast on with 24 stitches on 10mm needles using the thumb method and worked in garter stitch until the piece measures 23 cm (9 in), ending on a wrong side row. The finished bag measures 30 cm wide by 35 cm long (11¾ x 13¾ in). To make up the bag, the main piece is folded in half lengthways and the side edge seams are joined. The pattern also references ribbon handles — two pieces of ribbon are cut to the handle length, stitched in place, and then the handles are sewn to the bag. A lining is included, with its seams joined and the lining stitched inside the bag for a neat, professional finish. Approximately 195g of main colour and 70g of contrast colour super chunky yarn are required.

The Snood

The snood is a classic cowl-style neck warmer knitted flat and then seamed. It is cast on with 18 stitches on 10mm needles using the thumb method and worked in garter stitch until the piece measures 74 cm (29¼ in), ending with a right side row before casting off knitways. The finished snood measures 22 cm wide by 74 cm long (8¾ x 29¼ in). To make up the snood, markers are placed 14 cm (5½ in) in from each side edge at both the cast-on and cast-off ends. The marked 14 cm sections at each end are joined together, leaving approximately 8 cm (3 in) open at both ends to create the tube opening. The piece is then pinned out, covered with damp cloths, and left to dry. Approximately 140g of super chunky yarn is required.

The Twisted Snood

The twisted snood follows a very similar construction to the standard snood but is slightly shorter, measuring 22 cm wide by 60 cm long (8¾ x 23¾ in) when finished. The twist in the name refers to
