Quite Squishy
Quite Squishy is the perfect “first brioche” project. Working brioche in the round makes it simpler to understand, and easier to practice. This pattern gives instructions for fingering, sport/dk, worsted and chunky weight yarn.
This pattern is like a mini-class in brioche, and includes detailed video tutorials. The videos show brioche for both continental and European style knitters.
Brioche produces extremely stretchy fabric. Select a hat size that is 4-6” smaller than your head circumference to ensure a good fit. Work with wool or wool blends that “stick” - this is not the hat for cotton, linen, or silk yarns. Knit with needles that will give you a dense, textured fabric that doesn’t sag. If there are gaps between stitches, go down a needle size.
Many thanks to Nancy Marchant for her work in the development of the brioche stitch.
Pattern has been tech edited and tested. Video tutorials are also included.
