Frederik Fungi

Simple, sweet, and small. Frederik Fungi is knit from the bottom up. The fringe beard is knit and unravelled - so there’s no cutting and attaching a fringe. Frederik Fungi is a grad student at Undergrowth University. He works with Professor Fungi (no relation) on tree root communication networks and is hoping to get a grant to implement a wildfire warning system. Forests need to burn occasionally, of course, but the folks of the Mistyvale Mountains would like a little more warning so they can protect their homes. Photos show Frederik with [Dr. M. Morel][2] and [Professor Fungi][3]. **Size** Height: 4.5” / 11.5 cm Cap Circumference: 7.5” / 19 cm **Skills Used** •knit and purl •working in the round •i-cord •kfb •k2tog Pattern includes links to multiple tutorial videos. **Materials** •Fingering Weight Yarn Black Sheep Dyeworks Sock Weight 4 Ply Superwash Merino & Mini Skeins (100% merino); 87 yd. / 79 m per 20 g skein; colours shown: C1 Driftwood C2 Cinnabar C3 Undyed Approximate Yardage (with a 15% buffer) C1 - 35 yd. / 32 m (8 g) C2 - 22 yd. / 20 m (5 g) C3 - 13 yd. / 12 m (3 g) •Needles   US 1 / 2.25 mm needles for knitting small circumference in the round or size needed to get gauge •Notions yarn needle, fluffy stuffing like roving/polyfill, weighted stuffing like poly pellets/dried lentils/aquarium gravel, scissors, cardboard or thin plastic (e.g., yogurt lid) **Gauge** 30 sts and 44 rounds = 4” / 10 cm in stockinette stitch in the round This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.
