Brioche Hat Pattern


Way back when I had my old blog I made a pattern (in English and Danish) for a brioche stitch hat. Some people have been asking for the pattern, so here we go: (I can't garantee that there's no errors in the pattern. Please let me know if you find any)




I’ve made a pattern for a women's size and a men’s size. The Women’s size is in brackets.

Yarn: 2 skeins of Rowan Scottish Tweed DK

Needles: Small circular needle 4 mm and dpns 4 mm

Cast on (64) 72 stitches

Join in the round.

(Remember to mark the first stitch)


  • Round 1: *purl 1, YO, slip 1 purlwise*, repeat until the end of round.
  • Round 2: *YO, slip one purlwise, knit 2 together (one knit stitch and one YO)*, repeat until the end of round.
  • Round 3: *Purl 2 together (one purl stitch and one YO), YO, slip one purlwise*, repeat until the end of round.

Repeat round 2 and 3 until the hat measures (13) 14 cm. End with a round similar to round 3.

Decreases begin: (Change to dpns when suitable)

*YO, slip one purlwise, knit 2 together (one knit stitch and one YO)*, repeat (6) 7 times. YO, slip one purlwise. Knit 2 together (the first stitch has a YO, the second stitch is single), place the stitch on the left needle and pass the next stitch (with its YO) over. Place the stitch on the right needle. There should be 2 stitches less now.

Continue in brioche stitch:

*YO, slip one purlwise, knit 2 together (one knit stitch and one YO)*, repeat (6) 7 times. YO, slip one purlwise. Knit 2 together (the first stitch has a YO, the second stitch is single), place the stitch on the left needle and pass the next stitch (with its YO) over. Place the stitch on the right needle.

Repeat brioche stitch and decreases 2 more times in this round.

Continue in brioche stitch and make the decreases on every 4th round with 2 stitches less between every decrease.

When there are 8 stitches left (not including the YOs) break yarn and thread through remaining stitches.

Weave in loose ends.

You might want to sew in some elastic as the hat is not particularly stretchy.





Hue i patentstrik

Jeg har skrevet opskriften for en damestørrelse og en herrestørrelse. Damestørrelsen står i parentes.

Garn: 2 nøgler Rowan Scottish Tweed DK

Pinde: Lille rundpind 4 mm og strømpepinde 4 mm

Slå (64) 72 masker op.

Strik rundt på rundpind på følgende måde:

(Husk at markere første maske)

  1. omg: *1 vrang, slå om, 1 vrang løs af*, gentag omgangen ud.
  2. omg: *Slå om, 1 vrang løs af, strik omslaget og den næste maske ret sammen*, gentag omgangen ud.
  3. omg: * Strik omslaget og den næste maske vrang sammen, slå om, 1 vrang løs af*, gentag omgangen ud.

Gentag 2. og 3. omgang indtil huen måler (13) 14 cm. Slut med en omgang der svarer til 3. omgang.

Herefter begynder indtagningerne: (Skift til strømpepinde, når det passer)

*Slå om, 1 vrang løs af, strik omslaget og den næste maske ret sammen*, gentag (6) 7 gange. Slå om, 1 vrang løs af. Strik de næste to masker ret sammen (første maske har et tilhørende omslag, anden maske er enkelt), sæt masken over på venstre pind og løft næste maske (med tilhørende omslag) over. Sæt masken over på højre pind. Der er nu taget 2 masker ind.

Strik igen patentstrik:

*Slå om, 1 vrang løs af, strik omslaget og den næste maske ret sammen*, gentag (6) 7 gange.

Strik de næste to masker ret sammen (første maske har et tilhørende omslag, anden maske er enkelt), sæt masken over på venstre pind og løft næste maske (med tilhørende omslag) over. Sæt masken over på højre pind. Patentstrik og indtagninger gentages 2 gange mere, så der i alt er taget ind 4 steder på huen. Sammenlagt er der taget 8 masker ind på omgangen.

Fortsæt i patentstrik samtidig med at der tages ind på samme måde på hver 4. omgang med to masker mindre i mellem indtagningerne hver gang.

Når der er 8 masker tilbage (omslagene er ikke talt med) lukkes af ved at trække tråden igennem maskerne.

Hæft enderne.

Sy evt. elastik i kanten, da huen ikke er så elastisk.

Looks great, the decreases for the top are awesome!

on your decreases, you say "YO, slip one purlwise. Knit 2 together, place the stitch on the left needle and pass the next stitch (with its YO) over. Place the stitch on the right needle. There should be 2 stitches less now"

However, after the K2tog, there is a single purl st, and it does not have a YO associated with it. Do I take the YO associated with the next knit st, then I then YO, slip the Knit stitch and k2tog with the purl and the YO after the purl st, thus shifting everything down one stitch?

Hi there,
I just have one question about this lovely hat:
For Round 3 you say: *Purl 2 together (one purl stitch and one YO), YO, slip one purlwise*, repeat until the end of round

But for a BRP round like this,
shouldn't it be:

*Purl 2 together, slip one purlwise, YO* repeat til end?

I thought for the knit rows you
do the YO, then slip and for the purl rows you slip, then do the YO?

I may be way off on this, but just thought I'd ask.

Thanks,
