Fernie Hat

If you’ve ever experienced the thrill of a Warren Miller movie or found yourself enjoying an epic powder day at the ski hill, you’re likely familiar with those gorgeous hourglass tracks left behind by lucky skiers who hit the slopes while the snow is still fresh. In celebration of those breathtaking moments, I have created a unique cable design that mimics those tracks, along with additional designs that capture the spirit of a lone downhiller “shreddin’ the gnar,” as well as a playful representation of a skier who couldn’t be bothered to turn at all. I’ve compiled these beautifully crafted cables and combined them with wintery patterns to form an exclusive assortment I’m calling the Powder Day Collection. Each pattern is lovingly named after one of my favorite powder day ski hills, evoking the joyful memories of skiing in fresh, untouched snow.

The Fernie Hat is a standout piece from this collection, featuring a captivating figure-eight cable pattern set against a cozy reverse stockinette stitch background. This hat begins with a stylish twisted rib brim that gives it a snug fit, gradually transitioning into a series of 6 intricate cables that beautifully taper toward the crown. To add a touch of fun, the hat is finished off with a funky pompom, because every hat deserves a little flair! Perfect for keeping warm on those chilly ski days or simply adding a touch of winter cheer to your wardrobe, the Fernie Hat is a must-have accessory for any knitting enthusiast or skiing fan.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter looking to challenge your skills or a beginner eager to create your first accessory, this pattern offers clear instructions and the joy of crafting something truly special. Embrace the spirit of winter and enjoy the satisfaction of wearing a hand-knit piece inspired by the exhilarating experience of a perfect powder day!
