Glenbrook Hat

The Glenbrook Hat features a double layer brim and ribbed crown. Over the years, this simple pattern has become one of my favorites because of its versatility. I’ve made many versions with multiple colors; finer yarn; or shorter in length, worn with the brim down for a more relaxed fit.

The hat starts from the brim. Stitches are cast on using a provisional method, then a tube of stockinette stitch is knit. Both ends of the brim are joined to form a hem. The next section of the hat is worked in ribbing with yarns held double. The crown decreases and bind off are then worked in a single yarn. The pattern includes a photo guide of each step, there’s no need to worry if you haven’t tried some of these skills before.

This pattern pairs with the Glenbrook Pull-Through Scarf for a matching set.
