Get ready for the most luxuriously comfortable hat you’ve ever worn! La Brique Hat is pleasantly slouchy and so so soft. The beautiful twisted rib brim leaves a smooth interior that is enjoyable on the ears and the roomy stockinette in-the-round body knits up quickly and easily. In between the two sections, there’s a subtle transition pattern that helps them flow together. The result is a hat that is so light yet cozy that it feels like wearing a warm cloud. You’ll be relaxed while knitting and wearing this satisfying hat! Knit from less than a skein in a super soft cashmere blend, this hat is a great use for that fancy fingering weight yarn you’ve had your eye on.
