Fiddlehead and Fern Hat

Introducing the Fiddlehead and Fern Hat, a stunning knitting pattern inspired by the lush ferns native to the beautiful forests of the Pacific Northwest. This versatile pattern is designed for an adult size, but can easily be adjusted for children by simply switching to a DK weight yarn and using needles that are two sizes smaller. Whether you're knitting for yourself or a little one, this hat is sure to be a beloved piece.

This intermediate-level knitting pattern is ideal for those who are comfortable with a variety of techniques. Knitters should have experience with ribbing, working in the round, engaging in color work, carrying long floats, and executing both increases and decreases. If you are up for a rewarding challenge, the Fiddlehead and Fern Hat is perfect for you!

For this project, you will need approximately 140 yards (120 meters) of your main color yarn and about 60 yards (55 meters) of your contrast color yarn. The pattern calls for bulky yarn, making this hat not only a quick knit but also warm and cozy for those chilly days.

To create this beautiful hat, you will require US size 5 (3.75mm) 16-inch circular needles and US size 7 (4.5mm) 16-inch circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPNs). Get ready to enhance your knitting skills while crafting a unique piece that embodies the serene essence of the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty.
