Leaves of the Shadow Glen Hat – Free Two Needle Knit Flat Pattern
Knit flat on 2 straight needles, the Leaves of the Shadow Glen Hat is worked in an unconventional way that sets it apart from a traditional beanie. This is not a beginner pattern, but for knitters ready for a rewarding challenge, the journey is well worth it. The construction unfolds gradually, with cables forming flowing stems and sculpted leaves emerging as you work. If the shaping feels unexpected at first, trust the process. Each step builds toward a warm, fitted hood-style beanie with striking texture and depth. Clear photos and step by step video tutorials guide you through the cabling and leaf techniques, giving you the support you need as the design comes together into something truly distinctive. If you love the leaf design but would prefer a more traditional beanie shape to your hat, you can take a peak at this pattern. It’s my Autumn Leaf Winter Beanie Hat β FREE Knitting Pattern. There is also a similar hat I designed but the leaves are a standard cable pattern. It’s called Woodland Wanderer Knit Hat β FREE Knitting Pattern Not a fan of reading things online or would like to print this pattern?

Autumn Leaf Half Gloves – FREE Knitting Pattern for Fingerless Gloves Knit on Straight Needles
The inspiration of this pattern came from my previous Spider Fingerless Gloves pattern. I really like incorporating the design into the final wearable piece. I’ve always liked the leaf pattern and this seemed to be a great way to use it. There isn’t a full-on how to for this pattern, by I have included helpful videos to show you how to do certain parts of the pattern. These will certainly help with any of the tricker parts like knitting the wrong side of the YO K1 YO and drawing the edges of the leaves together to a point. Click the link and it will open and automatically play the YouTube video. If you would like to purchase a copy of this pattern that you can download and print, I have a number of options for you. You can buy the pattern on this website – Autumn Leaf Half Gloves β with How-to VIDEOS, Ravelry, Etsy, LoveCrafts, Creative Fabrica, Google Books and Amazon. Amazon has the book in both paperback and Kindle formats.

This is when using the US size 6 (4 mm) knitting needles in stockinette. 2β (5 cm) – 10 sts 2β (5 cm) – 15 rows Things You Need Knitting needles: Small – Size 3 US (3.25 mm) knitting needles Medium – Size 6 US (4 mm) knitting needles Large – Size 8 US (5 mm) knitting needles Worsted weight yarn β any standard size ball will do Cable Needle – There are a number a styles but I prefer the hook version Stitch holder β It looks like a big safety pin Tapestry needle Sizing Like my other fingerless mitt patterns, I’ve made this as one pattern and adjusted the needle size to change the sizes. This makes it a heck of a lot easier to design and keeps the proportion of the leaves the same on all sizes. Frankly, the overall look is better. If you are making the small or large size glove, check the gauge for the size 6 US (4 mm). Adjust to the size of the needles to obtain the correct gauge. If you are making the large size, increase your needle size by a size US (mm). For example, you need to use a size 7 US (4.5 mm) to get the correct gauge, use size 9 US (5.5 mm) knitting needles for the large. If you are making a small, use size 5 US (3.75 mm). To know what size you should make, you can use the infographic below on how to measure your hand, or the hand of whomever you are making them for.

It’s free for everyone to use and it’s a great way to support my work without paying a single cent. I even included the handy share button right here ππΌ This pattern is inspired by 3 patterns that I previously wrote. I’m in a habit of combining different elements of my patterns together to make a completely new thing. This is a bringing together of my Easiest Beanie You’ll Ever Knit, Autumn Leaf Fingerless Gloves, and my Autumn Leaf Winter Beanie Hat. You can see by the photos below, how the elements have come together. I’m also thinking of remaking the fingerless gloves to mitts that will match and a scarf, but those will be a while in coming. Let me know if you’d like me to get on that ASAP. Clicking on any of the pics will take you to the pattern π Things you need Worsted weight (AKA β 4 or medium) yarn β one standard ball (515 yards / 471 m) will be more than enough with yarn left over. 1 set of size 4 mm (US size 6) single pointed needles Cable needle Tapestry needle (to work in ends) Bobble or pom pom of your choice.

It doesn’t need to be exact but the closer the better. In garter st 17 sts = 4 inches or 10 cm 34 rows = 4 inches or 10 cm Sizing Notes First things first: letβs figure out how big to make the hat. When youβre going by age and gender, the measurements are only approximate β especially for kids. Adult sizes are more standardized: small, medium, large, and extra large. If the personβs head is handy, measuring it directly is always best. That said, knitting isnβt an exact science. It stretches and contracts as needed, especially with the garter stitch inside that this ear warmer uses. Child Sizing Data is based on World Health Organization and pediatric growth standards. You can also do an online search for sizing if you believe it to be inaccurate. Other organizations located in the USA, UK, etc give sizes as being slightly larger. A gentle reminder that this is knitting and it does stretch to accommodate close measurements. Close IS usually good enough in this case. This design is for children (5 ish) and older. The band is wide-ish and a heads any smaller than 20 inches (51 cm) will be too wide to fit comfortably on the forehead. Adult Sizing Small/Medium – 21 to 22 inches (53.5 β 56 cm) Large/Extra Large – 23 to 24 inches (57 β 61 cm) Band The band can be made as long as you like. It is what goes around the circumference of the head. Each leaf, when matching the gauge as given, is about 2.25 to 2.5 inches (5.71 to 6.35 cm) long. I found 8 leaves were a good length for a small/medium adult hat with 9 leaves fitting large/ex-large adult heads. Adjust accordingly for smaller sizes.

I’ve got a lot going on right now π You can tap or click on either pic below if you would like to read the FREE patterns on this website. Things You Will Need Worsted weight yarn (less than a standard ball will be more than enough). I used Red Heart worsted weight yarn when designing the pattern but any kind will do. Set of single pointed needles (see note on sizing) Stitch holder Tapestry needle to sew the seams and work in ends Cable needle Sizing Like my other fingerless gloves I’ve designed such as my owl fingerless gloves, I use the size of the needles to change the size of the mitt. This keeps the proportion of the design consistent to the size of the mitten. My standard for sizing was my hand and designed the knitting pattern according to what kind of rubber gloves fit me comfortably. I wear a medium sized rubber glove and the medium sized glove fits perfectly. You may need to use different sized needles to get the correct gauge.

Autumn LeafΒ Winter Beanie Hat – FREE Knitting Pattern
This beanie is not worked using standard hat construction. Instead, itβs intentionally designed to unfold in a different way, allowing the cables, shaping, and fit to develop gradually as you knit. If the construction feels unusual at first, thatβs okay. Follow the instructions, trust the process, and keep going. Once all the steps come together, the design reveals itself as a warm, well-fitted cable knit beanie with a comfortable double-thick brim that adds both structure and extra insulation. If you need help with sts, check the Abbreviations section. I’ve included descriptions of how to make them and embedded videos where I could. Scroll down the page or use the Table of Contents. If you would prefer the printable version of the pattern, I have a number of online retailers you can buy it from including my online KweenBee on Shopify, Etsy, and Buy Me A Coffee.

You can see my Leaves of the Shadow Glen Hat by tapping the photo below. I’m currently working on a headband with the same leaf motif. Hopefully that will get done soon. I’m also thinking of remaking the fingerless gloves to mitts that will match and a scarf. But those will be a while in coming.
