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. Videos of the techniques used in this pattern can be found at www.petiteknit.com.
