Montana Hat in Adriafil Felis and Globe Uni - Downloadable PDF

Montana Hat in Adriafil Felis and Globe Uni – Free Crochet PDF Pattern Summary

The Montana Twin-Set pattern by Adriafil is a downloadable PDF design featuring a complete coordinated set worked in two of Adriafil's signature yarns: Felis and Globe Uni. While the product listing highlights the hat component, the full PDF pattern covers a twin-set ensemble that includes a pullover sweater with shaped neckline, armholes, and sleeves, alongside the Montana hat. This makes it an excellent value for crafters looking to create a cohesive, coordinated handmade outfit from a single free pattern download.

What Is Being Made

The Montana pattern produces a twin-set consisting of a knitted pullover and an accompanying hat. The pullover features a shaped front neckline, set-in armholes, and tapered sleeves, giving it a classic, structured silhouette. The hat completes the set with a matching aesthetic, making both pieces ideal for cooler weather wear. The sizing is offered in multiple options, with measurements provided in centimetres to accommodate a range of fits.

Garment Details

The Pullover

The pullover is constructed in separate pieces — a back, front, and two sleeves — which are then seamed together. The back is worked first and establishes the stitch pattern and edge treatment. The front mirrors the back up to a point, at which stage a centre neckline shaping is introduced by binding off the 3 centre stitches and then working each side separately. Neckline decreases are worked at a rate of 1 stitch every 6 rows, 5 times, creating a smooth, gradual V-shaped or rounded neckline.

Armhole shaping on both the front and back involves decreases worked inside 1 stitch on each side, every 2 rows, repeated 9 to 11 times depending on the size being worked. This set-in sleeve construction gives the garment a neat, tailored fit at the shoulder.

The Sleeves

Sleeves are cast on with 25 (23–27) stitches in Felis yarn and begin with the same edge treatment used on the back. Sleeve length increases are worked at a rate of 1 stitch on each side every 6 rows, twice, before armhole shaping begins. The sleeves are worked to a total length of 40 (39–41) cm before the cap shaping commences, keeping proportions consistent across the size range.

The Montana Hat

The Montana hat is the headline piece referenced in the product listing and is designed to coordinate seamlessly with the pullover. It is worked using the same Adriafil Felis yarn as the main body of the sweater, with Globe Uni used as a contrast accent, echoing the colour-blocking approach of the full twin-set. As a crochet hat, it is well-suited to intermediate crafters comfortable with basic shaping and stitch construction.

Techniques Used

• Casting on and binding off – used to begin each piece and close shoulder and neckline stitches cleanly
• Neckline shaping – centre bind-off followed by working two sides separately with gradual decreases
• Armhole shaping – paired decreases worked inside edge stitches at regular row intervals
• Sleeve cap shaping – structured decreases to create a set-in sleeve profile
• Side increases on sleeves – gradual widening worked at consistent intervals to achieve a tapered sleeve shape
• Seaming – finished pieces are joined using a tapestry needle, a standard finishing technique in garment knitting
• Crochet construction – the hat component is worked in crochet, making this a mixed-craft twin-set pattern that spans both knitting and crochet

Stitches Used

• Edge stitch pattern – a specific border treatment is applied at the cast-on edge of the back, front, and sleeves, adding a neat finish
• Main body stitch – the pull
