Do you have that one special skein of indie-dyed yarn lying around waiting for the perfect pattern to really show it off?
This might just be the pattern for you!
Â
Brushstroke Hat was designed to highlight hand-painted and variegated colorways, combining two of my favorite stitches- brioche and herringbone. Using just one skein of 4ply held double, this hat is the perfect way to show off a special yarn with two beautiful and timeless texture stitches.
Â
If you are new to either brioche or herringbone stitch, now is your chance to learn.
This pattern gives detailed instructions and includes a link to a video tutorial which can give you a helpful visual aid.
Â
This hat has quickly become my favorite go-to hat 🙂
