My two recent passions in knitting are brioche and the moebius. I decided to combine the two for a series of patterns that are striking, unique in form, and fun to knit. I named them Vakker, which means “beautiful” in Norwegian.

The Vakker Hat pattern includes two different brioche cables, two bands, and three sizes for ultimate customization. The hats are also reversible! The smallest size is suitable for a young child (4-8 years). The medium is perfect for a child sized slouchy hat or a fitted adult hat. The largest size will give a loose and slouchy fit for adults.

Special thanks to Nancy Marchant for the inspiring “Narrow Flat Cables” stitch pattern from her incredible book Knitting Fresh Brioche. To learn more about Brioche, visit her website: http://www.briochestitch.com/
