Down the Line Beanie
The Down the Line Beanie has a simple but hugely appealing design consisting of vertical stripes which converge up to the top.
It’s made using the highly addictive and totally gorgeous brioche crochet technique, which gives it a really neat and sumptuous texture.
Brioche crochet produces a lovely stretchy, textured fabric and (importantly!) is much easier than it looks.
Watch this video tutorial to see how it’s done:

The hat is worked in a single piece, starting with a band of ribbing which is joined to form a loop. The main part of the hat then continues working with brioche crochet in rounds from the ribbing, with decreases up to the top.
To make the hat, I used the following yarn:
Hobbii Friends Extra Fine Merino (4 ply; 165m / 50g ball; 100% wool):
A: 2 balls of Light Gray (117)
B: 1 ball of Dusty Rose (52)
If you like, there is enough of yarn A left over at the end to make a pompom for the top.
The hat comes in a single size which would fit an older child or adult. If you wanted to make it larger, you could simply use a thicker (e.g. DK) yarn and a larger hook.
The pattern contains full written instructions plus some photos to guide you along the way.
The pattern is available in both US and UK crochet terms.
Crochet level: intermediate.
