This pattern is all about the luxurious yarn, hand dyed in Alaska. I combined soft and squishy Brioche Stitch, also known as Fisherman’s Rib, with one skein of wool and one skein of wool-silk blend. The colors combine to remind me of the harbor in Cordova, where I bought these yarns at The Net Loft, one of my favorite yarn stores in the world.

The hat is incredibly stretch and will fit heads up to 22”. My video tutorials make this a perfect project for learning how to knit Brioche stitch in the round in one and in two colors.
