We want you to be happy ‘cause this is your hat, too

Love the look of Brioche, but not the slipping and yarn-over-ing of it? This hat is the solution-- All the fun of Brioche with less of the fuss. You won’t need to fish (or phish) for compliments for this one.

Pattern can either be purchased or you can receive it FREE when you subscribe to my newsletter (see the SUBSCRIBING INFO below!) at this link here. Current subscribers will receive it shortly as well, so check your inbox on Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2023:)

if you wish to purchase the pattern instead of subscribing, that’s totally fine--the pattern is 40% off (along with all my other patterns) today Nov. 28th ONLY , then 25% off Nov 29th through Dec. 3rd, 2023. No code needed.

Worked up in either heavy DK or worsted weight yarn, this hat uses the Fisherman’s Rib stitch aka Faux Brioche—no yarn overs or slipping! Instead, you knit or purl into the stitch below. Need a video tutorial to show you how? I’ve got you covered with videos linked in the pattern.

Even better, this design (basically “broken” faux brioche) has no fancy brioche decreases--Just some simple decreases to the crown within a single color round that result in a gorgeous ferris-wheel effect.
