The Forest Moss Hat free knitting pattern offers a wonderfully cozy and practical beanie that’s ideal for the coldest days of winter, combining simple construction with exceptional warmth and comfort. Worked in a classic 2×2 rib, the hat features a twice-folded brim that creates a thick, insulating band around the ears, ensuring maximum protection from biting winds and frosty air. The pattern is knit in the round from the bottom up, using two strands of yarn held together—DK-weight merino wool paired with mohair—to produce a fabric that is both luxuriously soft and impressively warm. The addition of mohair lends a delicate halo to the surface, giving the hat a gentle, natural glow reminiscent of mossy forest floors. As the knitting nears the crown, the decreases are worked over the final seven rounds, forming a subtly gathered top that adds to the hat’s charm and structure. The result is a beanie that’s simple yet refined, exceptionally cozy, and a joy to knit and wear throughout the winter season.
