The September Hat

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The September hat is knitted in the round on circular needles in brioche stitch from the bottom up to the top. Italian cast-on is used for the hat to create a beautiful edge. Decreases are worked at the top of the hat. Please note that it is knitted with one strand of Tunn and two strands of Tynn Silk Mohair (or another yarn that gives the correct gauge).

Also note that when knitting brioche stitch on circular needles, the brioche stitches on every other row will be knitted as knit stitches and every other row as purl stitches. There are videos of the techniques used in the pattern at www.petiteknit.com.
