“I shall call him squishy, and he shall be mine.” - Dory

Squishy knits are my favorite! And the Call Him Squishy Hat is a fun and simple piece with an introduction to one and two color brioche knitting in the round. The brioche section really ups the squish factor that’ll make this your favorite hat.

Choose the two color brioche option and play with fun, new color combinations or hold alpaca or mohair lace double with your main color for a soft and luxurious hat.

Sizing this hat up or down for your favorite humans is as simple as changing the number of stitches you cast on and how many repeats you knit for each section.
