Winterspring II

Discover the perfect blend of style and functionality with our delightful reversible hat knitting pattern featuring both brioche and double knitting techniques. This stunning hat showcases a bold flower motif that elegantly wraps around the design, repeated three times for visual impact. The brim is crafted in a two-colour brioche rib that not only looks fantastic but can be worn flat or folded to reveal the contrasting colour pattern inside, giving you versatile styling options for any winter outfit. The main body of the hat is entirely double-knitted, allowing for a completely reversible piece; simply turn it inside out for an alternate colour scheme! Thanks to the unique construction, all the 'wrong' sides are hidden between layers, making finishing off those pesky yarn ends a breeze. Stay super warm and cozy while celebrating the beauty of winter and eagerly anticipating the arrival of spring!

This knitting pattern uses approximately 300 yards of 8ply DK wool or a merino blend yarn, with 150 yards required in each of the two contrasting colours. For this project, you'll need circular needles in sizes 3mm and 4mm, with a 40cm cable length. Having a longer cable or double-pointed needles (DPN) on hand would be beneficial for the crown decreases. Some prior experience with double-knitting and brioche techniques is recommended, as the pattern also incorporates an Italian tubular two-colour cast-on method to achieve that professional finish you desire.

The final size of the hat is designed to fit most teens and adults, featuring a generous allowance for a comfortable slouch at the crown, making it the ideal accessory for any winter wardrobe. Elevate your knitting skills and create a beautiful, functional piece that you’ll reach for time and time again!
