September Hat

This is a printed A5 printed pattern booklet which if ordered online will be posted to you. The September Hat is worked in the round from the bottom up on a circular needle in brioche stitch. The stitches are cast on using the Italian cast-on technique to create a nice and neat edge. The top of the hat is shaped with decreases. Please note that working brioche stitch in the round on a circular needle means that the brioche stitches are knitted on every other round and purled on every other round.
