There is nothing more exciting than the anticipation of autumn. Feeling the first hints of crispness in the air, watching the leaves turn crimson and gold, and tasting the warm flavor of a pumpkin spice latte are some of my favorite small joys each year.

This design features a gorgeous slipped-stitch pattern that is extra eye-catching in this neutral palette. Its cozy folded brim and oversized fit make it the perfect hat to wear on all your autumn adventures, hence the name! :)

The yarn I used for this pattern is Stitch Please Chunky by Premier Yarns. I’ve tried so many wool yarns over the years, and they’re often scratchy and uncomfortable to wear. Not this one! It’s 100% wool, yet it feels soft and luxurious to the touch, and it comes in so many beautiful colors to choose from! The best part is that it’s extremely affordable to fit any budget. Give it a try, you’ll love it!

MATERIALS

  • Approximately 100 yards (92 m) of C1, 25 yards (23 m) of C2, and 20 yards (18 m) of C3 in a bulky weight (5) yarn. I used Stitch Please Chunky by Premier Yarns in “Espresso Yourself” for C1, “Salted Caramel” for C2, and “Whoopsie Daisy” for C3. One thing to note is Stitch Please Chunky is on the lighter side of bulky weight, so you will want to make a gauge swatch to ensure your beanie will fit.

  • US size 10 (6mm) 16” circular knitting needles

  • US size 10 (6mm) double-pointed needles (optional)

  • Faux fur pom pom (optional) - I get mine from BrennaAnnHandmade on Etsy!

  • Common notions, such as stitch markers, measuring tape, yarn needle, and scissors

MEASUREMENTS

Approx. 9” tall with folded brim (not including pom) and 19” around. It’s very stretchy, so it should fit most adults.

GAUGE

19.5 sts x 38 rows = 4” in main stitch pattern
