The Ribbed Double Brim Knit Hat

Oh you guys, I feel like my yarn worlds are colliding over here! Have you heard that Sugar Bush Yarns are now available from Yarnspirations? I’ve been a big fan of Sugar Bush’s luxury yarns for a couple of years now, and I was thrilled to hear I could now easily find them at Yarnspirations.com!

They’ve added 15 stunning Sugar Bush yarns to the site, including:

Sugar Bush Itty-Bitty, a fine weight yarn that’s ideal for socks and shawls, in a blend of merino wool, nylon and cashmere.

Sugar Bush Motley, a sport weight yarn with self-striping colorways in a cozy alpaca and merino wool blend.

Sugar Bush Bold, a worsted weight yarn in an extra fine superwash merino that comes in vibrant colors.

Sugar Bush Bliss, a sport weight yarn in a luxurious mix of cashmere, mulberry silk and superfine merino wool with excellent stitch definition.

Sugar Bush Chill, a super bulky weight yarn that works up fast in rich, saturated hues of 100% merino wool.

They’ve also added Sugar Bush Crisp, Drizzle, Rapture, Cobot, CanoeGlazeDawsonNanaimo, and Shanty. You can browse and shop all the yarn here.

When Yarnspirations asked if I’d design a pattern with one of their new yarns, I jumped at the chance! I chose Sugar Bush Crisp, a DK weight 100% extra fine merino yarn. It’s so soft, squishy and has excellent stitch definition. I knew it would make the perfect light weight hat as we start heading into spring. I chose the color Provincial Peach (you’ll need two skeins).

Double brim hats are very popular right now, and I wanted to design one with a more fitted brim that utilizes a provisional cast on. If you’ve never tried a provisional cast on, I’ve got you covered!

This pattern includes a full step-by-step video tutorial, which you can find below.

Brim:

Rep 1st rnd until brim measures 5” [12.5 cm] from cast on edge.

Next rnd: Change to larger circular needles. Fold brim inwards and line up provisional cast on edge sts with live sts on the needles. *Remove waste yarn from provisional cast on to expose one live st and knit this st together with first st on left needle (see video). Rep from * around.

Continue working in Stockinette st (knit every rnd) until work from beginning measures 6” [15 cm].

I feel like it looks great with or without a pom. I love this beautiful oversized pom from the lovely Caitlin from Cozee Creations Co. This is her 7.5″ Lions Mane pom, which you can find here.
