Knitting pattern for Frida Brioche Hat

Frida Brioche Hat is an elegant and timeless hat that combines the softness and warmth of Önling No 4, organic merino wool, with the light and luxurious feel of Önling No 10, silk mohair. This combination creates a lightweight yet warm hat, perfect for the cold months.

The Frida Hat is knitted in the round in full brioche on circular needles and is available in three sizes: S, M, and L. The pattern is designed to help you become familiar with full brioche knitting, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced knitters looking to explore this technique.

The decreases at the top are shaped like a star, adding a beautiful finish to the hat. With this pattern, you’ll not only create a lovely hat but also gain a deeper understanding of full brioche knitting, a skill you can apply to many future projects. So grab your knitting needles, and let’s get started on creating your very own Frida Hat!

Frida Brioche Hat is designed for 3rd advent in December, as part of our 2024 advent calendar🎄

We have knitted the hat in our luxurious and softest merino wool Önling No 4 held together with exquisite silk mohair Önling No 10.
