Hello Everyone, 😊
Today I would like to show you how to knit a Brioche hat with a Basic Decreasing Technique.
If you’ve never done Brioche, start with basic one, because sometimes it’s complicated!

YARN: CRAFT SMART VALUE NEON #4
NEEDLE: 4 MM

WHEN YOU KNIT YOUR SWATCH, YOU MUST DECIDE HOW YOU WANT YOUR HAT.
BECAUSE BRIOCHE IS VERY STRETCHY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO STRETCH A BIT, AND COUNT YOUR STITCHES, OTHERWISE YOUR HAT WILL BE TOO LOOSE.

SWATCH & GAUGE
HEAD MEASUREMENT: 21”
6” VS 20 STS = 21” VS [X STS]

[X STS] = 20 X 21 / 6
[X STS] = 70

MY CAST ON # IS 70
CAST ON RULE: MULTIPLE OF 8 OR MORE = THIS NUMBER HAS TO BE EVEN NUMBER AS WELL
i.e) 8, 10, 12, 14



SET UP R1(MC): ALL KNIT
SET UP R2(CC): (YF SL1P, WRAP P1)

R1(MC): BRK2TOG, (YF SL1P, BR K2TOG), LAST 1 ST, YF SL1P, AND PUT THE WORIKING YARN OVER RT NEEDLE TO MAKE A LAST BR
R2(CC): (YF SL1P, WRAP BRP2TOG) UNTIL THE END
REP R1 & R2 UNTIL YOUR DESIRE LENGTH, YOU MUST FINISH ON R2 BEFORE DECREASING

ADD SOME MARKERS, MY STS COUNT IS MULTIPLE OF 10
I ADDED THE MARKERS EVERY 10 STS

** BRIOCHE ST ARE 2 STITCHES (MC & CC), BUT COUNT AS 1 ST, IT’S A TEMPORARY 2 STS BECAUSE OF YARN OVER**


DECREASING
YOU WILL DECREASE 2 STS EVERY MARKERS INCLUDING BEGIN MARKER, BUT FOR THE BEGIN MARKER, YOU DON’T YARN OVER, PLEASE WATCH A VIDEO CAREFULLY
DR1(MC):
FOR BEG MARKER DECREASE
YB SLIP BR ST KNITWISE, K3TOG (1 BR ST, 1 REG ST), PSSO, AND THE REST OF STS ARE SAME AS R1

FROM 2ND MARKERS
1 LAST ST BEFORE THE MARKER, YOU NEED TO DO YF SL1P , THEN SLIDE MARKER
BR ST KNITWISE, K3TOG (1 BR ST, 1 REG ST), PSSO, AND THE REST OF STS ARE SAME AS R1

DR2: (YF SL1P, WRAP BRP2TOG)
DR3: SAME AS R1 (NO DECREASE!!!)
DR4: SAME AS DR2
REP DR1 ~ DR4 UNTIL 2 STS (1 BR ST & 1 REG ST) BETWEEN MARKERS
WHEN 2 STS LEFT AFTER DR1, I DID DR2 & DR3
CLOSE THE GAP ON TOP OF HAT
