We now offer handy kits of this pattern. All kits include enough yarn to make this splendid hat, along with a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Happy knitting!
The beautiful and oh-so-simple Brioche Beanie is a free pattern designed by our very own Helena Timms. You can find it here on Ravelry.
This beginner-friendly knitting pattern has been designed by Helena and cor’, is it a stunner! It’s a simple brioche pattern (great if you’re yet to try out the stitch!) for a slouchy and cosy beanie with a folded up brim and a big fluffy pompom. Written for one adult size – the stretchy nature of the brioche stitch means it will comfortably fit most head sizes. It is knit from the bottom up with a stretch cast on, single colour brioche, and decreases at the crown.
