Original pattern by Katrin Schubert for Biscotte Yarns, the Spiral Hat is a spiral shaped hat worked in two-color brioche knitting, inspired by the famous Snail Hat by the wonderful Elizabeth Zimmermann and featuring a self-striping yarn in the foreground and a bright semi-solid color, or speckled yarn in the background
Pattern is suitable for advanced beginners and young knitters. The hat can be knit in multiple sizes (S, M, L) shown sample hat in size M.
Repetitive increases and decreases are worked every 4 rows only, giving the hat its unusual shape. Stripes appear by using the self-striping yarn.
The hat is worked in the round from the bottom up (brim to crown) with two-color brioche.
In addition to the pattern, you'll need the following material to knit this project :
Biscotte Yarns, DK Pure Yarn, 90% superwash merino and 10% silk - 260 yards per 4 oz skein (238m / 115gr) | Shown in Apple´s Heart as Main color (MC) and Vert Biscotte as Contrasting Color (CC). You will use about half of each skein: there will be enough yarn leftover to knit another project!
Still working on this and haven’t gotten into the finishing decreases yet, but I love the pattern and the squishy nature of brioche knitting. Once I got used to the increases and decreases it started going faster. Looking forward to finishing.
