This is the Bluegrass Hat from Wool & Pine (pattern purchased on Ravelry).

Dive headfirst into brioche with Bluegrass Hat. Embracing the two-color brioche technique, this hat offers a captivating blend of texture, color, and technique. With its straightforward increases and decreases, it’s an approachable project for first-time brioche knitters, yet remains enjoyable for seasoned experts. The pattern is complemented by comprehensive video tutorials, assisting knitters at every stage. The result? A stashbusting hat that’s as fun to knit as it is comfortable. 

The design keeps the crown elegantly simple, giving you the freedom to make it your own: top it off with a playful pompom or let its sleek design shine on its own. If you’ve got yarn scraps, this hat is your canvas. With minimal yarn requirements, it’s perfect for using up those beloved leftovers. Plus, by alternating your foreground color every other round, the hat transforms into a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of shades. 

Crafted for fingering weight yarn and including sizes from baby to adult, Bluegrass Hat is a versatile pattern that bridges the gap between traditional charm and contemporary flair. Dive in, and let this design be the highlight of your knitting journey. 

Construction: Bluegrass Hat is a beautifully crafted piece that’s knitted in the round utilizing the 2-color brioche technique. This hat is knit from the brim to the crown using fingering weight yarn. It features a Garter Stitch brim, a beautifully textured brioche body and some quick decreases for the crown that leave the perfect spot for a brightly coloured pom-pom. 

Yarn: For this design, we artfully combined a medley of mini skeins and hues, transitioning the main color every alternate row. Nevertheless, we encourage you to tailor the color palette to your preference, using as many or as few shades as you desire.

If you don’t want to go through your fingering weight yarns to find colours that fade or shade you can use a self-striping yarn. One skein of a solid/semi solid fingering weight yarn and one Freia Minikin would work for all the sizes.

I have 4 more rows to knit on Clue 2. I should be starting Clue 3 tonight before bed. I wasn’t able to knit much this afternoon because I was in charge of the TV. There is a lot of channel changing on Sunday afternoons while watching football.

We have one more game tonight as well as a baseball game. Thank goodness Beth will be here to work the converter.

Fred loves the truck.
