Hello friends! I know it's almost April, but I am still designing and adding to my February Head Wear Series. I would like to thank everyone who made one of the hats and shared that with me on Ravelry, Instagram or via Email. I feel very motivated now, and I still have many ideas to share.
This hat is very easy to make, I used a simplified version of the brioche pattern (I call it the Pseudo Brioche) to make it. This hat also comes in two sizes (see measurement details below). I hope you give it a try and make it today. stay home and stay safe everyone!

That video was in a language I do not speak. Does it exist in English? Is there another description of how to do your pseudo brioche stitch?
ReplyDeleteHi C.Fernandez-Morrow
DeleteTutorial photos have been added to the post to clarify the Pseudo Brioche Pattern. The video will come later for it seems that making a setup corner takes a lot of time and preparations.
Stay safe and healthy.

Hi C.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right, the video is not helping. I've decided to make my own.
But I need somedays to make my shooting overhead filming setup corner. I'll inform you when the video is added to the post.
Stay safe and healthy.

Hi there, I'm having trouble figuring this out. I'm getting lost where it says "yarn over to knit the stitch", and I don't see the video that's been mentioned. Can you clarify and/or add a video, please?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
