This very geometric hat combines the squish and warmth of brioche stitch with the increases and decrease that create a chevron stitch pattern. The biasing of the fabric results in built-in ear flaps for a cozy fit. If you’ve mastered basic two-color brioche stitch and want to expand your skills, this hat pattern will introduce you to basic brioche increases and decreases.

To knit this pattern, you need to know how to:

  • knit and purl,
  • work in the round,
  • work two-color brioche,
  • do brioche increases and decreases (explained in pattern), and
  • do basic decreases (k2tog, ssk, sk2p).

Sizes: Baby, Toddler (Child, Teen/Adult Small, Adult Large), to fit head circumference of 16, 18 (20, 22, 24) in./40.5, 46 (51, 56, 61) cm

Yarn Requirements: Approximately 70, 75 (90, 105, 125) yds./64, 69 (82.5, 96, 114.5) m of the main color and 20, 25 (35, 45, 60) yds./18.5, 23 (32, 41, 55) m of the contrast color
