Description
Growing like sedimentary layers of rock and earth, this hat takes form.
Earth Graffiti is a super baggy hat, knit mainly in the one-color brioche stitch. The purl ridge and color blocking add dimension and interest to the back and top. This is a slight variation of one of my other hat patterns, Pink Graffiti, using worsted weight yarn for a chunkier fabric and quicker knit.
This hat would make a GREAT project if you want to try out the brioche stitch! There are no brioche increases or decreases, and it’s a wonderful transition to two-color brioche!
Size: One size for men and women; finished measurements are about 20” circumference by 11” height. The brim can be folded up for a more fitted and warmer hat!
Yarn: 212 yds / 193 m Worsted weight
Main color (MC): 160 yds / 146 m
Contrast color 1 (CC1): 22 yds / 20 m
