To knit the Sunayana Reversible Brioche Hat, the first step is to knit a base row. The base row serves as the foundation for starting any design.
In this brioche hat, too, we need to start with a base row, and from the next row onward, we’ll begin adding the design.
Base Row (RS): P1, * K1, P1 * repeat from * to * …………… last sts P1
Row 1 (WS): P1, * K1 (knit sts in the first loop), P1 * repeat from * to * …………… last sts P1
Repeat row 1 on both sides until you reach your desired length. I have knitted a total of 11 inches.
How to Decrease Stitches in a Brioche Hat
Once the hat reaches the desired length, we will start decreasing the stitches. I have completed the decreases over 4 rows, so keep this in mind when determining the length of your hat.
The complete bind-off pattern is provided below.
Row 1(RS): SL1(P),* SL1, K1, slip sts over the knit sts, P2tog * repeat from * to *………last sts P1
Now, I have 48 stitches remaining.
Row 2 (WS): SL1 (P), * P1, K1 * repeat from * to * ……………… last 2 sts P2
Row 3 (RS): SL1(P),* SL1, K1, slip sts over the knit sts, P2tog * repeat from * to *
Now, I have 26 stitches remaining.
Row 4 (WS): SL1 (P), * P1, K1 * repeat from * to * ……………… last 2 sts P2
Finally, pick up all the remaining 26 stitches on the darning needle and secure them tightly. After that, sew the hat to finish.
