Brule Hat

This stylish super bulky knit hat is a fantastic and quick project that you'll love to create with your favorite chunky yarn. The pattern offers clear, easy-to-follow instructions for crafting two versions: a classic beanie (as featured in the photo) and a roll-up brim style. One of the standout features of this design is the reversible cable pattern, allowing the rolled-up brim to look just as beautiful as the exterior of the hat!

For this knitting project, I selected a superwash wool-blend yarn, specifically WOOLADDICTS Fire by Lang. This type of yarn is known for its exceptional softness and durability, making it perfect for cozy winter accessories. It's important to note that superwash wool and wool-blend yarns can exhibit some growth after blocking, which is why the gauge provided in the pattern (12 stitches over 4 inches) is measured after blocking. This detail is crucial to achieving the perfect fit for your hat! If you opt for a non-superwash wool or wool-blend yarn, be prepared to use larger needles than the suggested US 11/8mm indicated in the pattern. All these important notes and tips can be found in the informational section of the pattern.

To enhance your knitting experience, I've included links to the 3 Kittens Needle Arts YouTube channel directly in the pattern. These video tutorials cover essential techniques, including: a tubular cast-on method for 1x1 ribbing, a tubular bind-off technique for seamless finishing, and expert tips on invisibly weaving in your ends. With these resources at your fingertips, even beginner knitters will feel confident tackling this charming hat project!

Whether you’re preparing for colder months or looking for a thoughtful handmade gift, this super bulky knit hat pattern will help you create a fashionable and functional accessory. Dive into this fun knitting project and stay warm in style!
