Inspired by the Wild Iris area of Lander, Wyoming, Briana Arlene captures the spirit of her two favorite activities, hiking and knitting. A Colorado based knitwear designer, she wrote this pattern to be the perfect cozy hat for the cold outdoors nights.
This hat begins off with a folded section of brioche rib, showing off the wonderful color changes of Spincycle Dyed in the Wool. Holding our Oh Dang! and Confluence Cotton bases together, the hat continues in a simple 1x1 rib that brings out the warm and fluffy traits of the yarn.
This project is suitable for intermediate knitters, especially those who have never tried brioche before as there is no shaping until long after the brioche is completed. Please note that we found we needed to go down to a size US 2 needle on our brioche to get gauge - make sure to check your gauge to avoid ending up with a hat that's bigger than you expected!
