For those of you already introduced to the Lilynet Hat, here is another variation of it. I hope you will like it!

This hat is done in a pattern stitch that is an interesting combination of brioche knitting, double knitting and cabling. Brioche elements give this hat additional elasticity and an interesting texture. Double knitting is used at the top for decreasing the hat.

This is advanced pattern and only should be done after the knitter is already familiar with seamless brioche in the round. Otherwise it will be too time-consuming. For more experienced knitters it might be an interesting choice.

It is done in S, and L women sizes (21”/53cm, 23,5”/60cm). It might also fit M (22”/56cm) due to very elastic carachteristic of the knitted fabric.

Finished gauge: 24sts x 34rows per 4”(10cm) on Stockinette stitch. Pay attention if you use this yarn. Gauge is obtained with previously washed wool with 3,5mm needles, but it can also be obtained with unwashed wool on smaller needles 3,0mm with the same wool. Just be sure to wash your sample after knitting it to obtain the right gauge!

You should choose bounce-back material such as wool or acrylic for this project.

Enjoy the pattern!
