What is Being Made
The Fann Street Hat is an advanced-level knitted hat designed to fit an average adult head size. This downloadable PDF pattern from Rowan features a sophisticated construction with multiple sections that build complexity through stitch patterning and shaping techniques.
Craft and Techniques
This is a knitting project worked in the round using circular needles or double-pointed needles. The pattern employs several advanced knitting techniques including:
- Cable crossing (Cr3R abbreviation indicates a right-leaning cable cross)
- Decreasing through purl two together (P2tog) stitches for crown shaping
- Magic loop method as an optional technique for managing stitches as the crown decreases
- Seamless in-the-round construction using either double-pointed needles or circular needles
Stitches Used
The Fann Street Hat combines fundamental and intermediate stitches to create an intricate textured pattern:
- Knit stitch (K)
- Purl stitch (P)
- Cable cross right (Cr3R) – a decorative cable technique creating twisted texture
- Purl two together (P2tog) – a left-leaning decrease used for crown shaping
The pattern is worked across three distinct sections with repeating rounds that gradually shift the placement of cable crosses and purl/knit combinations to create a dynamic, sculptural effect on the finished hat.
Materials
Yarn: Rowan Alpaca Soft DK, 1 x 50gm ball. The pattern offers three colorway options: Hyacinth (225), Rainy Day (210), or Hunter Green (214).
Needles: The pattern requires two needle sizes. Work begins on 3½mm (US 4) needles in either double-pointed or circular format (no more than 40 cm/16 inches long). Transition to 4mm (US 6) needles for subsequent sections, available as double-pointed needles or circular needles. An optional longer 4mm circular needle may be used for the magic loop method during crown shaping.
Tension: 23 stitches and 31 rows to 10 cm measured over pattern using 4mm (US 6) needles.
