Fernfrost Hat by Anne Michelle Phelan
What is Being Made
Fernfrost is an intermediate-level knitted hat designed by Anne Michelle Phelan. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a fitted, elegant hat available in two sizes to fit head circumferences of 20-22 inches (51-56cm) and 22-24 inches (56-61cm). The finished hat measures 18-19.5 inches (45.5-49.5cm) in head circumference and features an unfolded length of 14-14.25 inches (35.5-36cm), with a folded length of 9-9.25 inches (23-23.5cm).
Techniques Used
This pattern requires several intermediate knitting techniques. Crafters will need to master a stretchy cast-on method to create a secure foundation edge. The pattern involves working in the round using circular needles, a fundamental technique for creating seamless, tubular garments. Knit decreases are essential for shaping the crown of the hat as stitches are gradually reduced toward the top. The combination of these techniques creates a well-fitted hat that sits properly on the head.
Stitches Used
- Stockinette stitch - the primary stitch used throughout the hat, created by knitting all stitches on right-side rounds and purling on wrong-side rounds (or knitting every round when working circularly)
- Knit two together (k2tog) - a right-leaning decrease used for shaping the crown
Materials Required
The Fernfrost pattern calls for a combination of yarn weights to achieve its distinctive texture and drape. Crafters will need 282-312 yards total of fingering weight yarn paired with lace weight mohair yarn. The pattern is shown worked in Walk Collection Cottage Merino (100% merino wool, 394 yards per 100 grams) in the frosted moss colorway, combined with Drops Kid-Silk (75% mohair and 25% silk blend, 230 yards per 25 grams) in shade #34 sage green. For needles, the pattern requires one 16-inch (40cm) long circular needle in US 4 (3.5mm) size, or alternatively, one set of double-pointed needles in the same size. The gauge is 23 stitches and 34 rounds over 4 inches (10cm) when worked in stockinette stitch using US 6 (4mm) needles.
