Brooktondale Hat
The Brooktondale Hat is a textured, worsted-weight hat with a doubled quilted lattice pattern, formed by strategically slipping stitches and later lifting them up behind the working row. The pattern has been updated in 2020 to include four sizes to fit a wider range of head sizes and decreases that are “hidden” under the slipped stitches.
I lived in the small town of Brooktondale for two years, in a large barn that had been converted to apartments. My favorite memories from my time in Brooktondale were those crisp fall mornings where I enjoyed tea on my porch, fished at the old mill, or made my way to Brookton’s Market for a delicious treat. When I saw the “Sunset” colorway of Malabrigo worsted, it immediately brought to mind all things fall: changing leaves, pumpkins, apple cider, and those gorgeous autumn sunsets. I always enjoy unpacking my clothes and accessories seasonally and can’t wait to show off hand knits as soon as the weather turns.
The hat begins with a simple ribbed brim that flows into a textured doubled quilted lattice stitch. The doubled quilted lattice stitch is achieved by slipping stitches with yarn in front, knitting subsequent rows, and then lifting the loose strands behind the working stitch. The slipped stitch pattern continues into the decrease section, creating a fitted and visually appealing crown.
