Let your brioche knitting shine with this luminous slouchy hat! Luma is inspired by the yarn of the same name: a light and lofty blend of natural fibers like organic cotton and Merino wool, that knits up into a wonderful fabric for transitional weather. Hat is knit from brim to crown in brioche stitch. With many size options, you can enjoy knitting Luma for anyone you wish!

Construction Notes:

  1. Hat is knit from brim to crown, beginning with the German Twisted cast on. A stretchy cast on is recommended to accommodate brioche stitch’s tendency to expand horizontally, like fanned cirrocumulus clouds.
  2. Crown is shaped with left-leaning brioche decreases (Bsk2p). Stitches are decreased two-at-a-time.
