Every year we knit at least one hat for someone special in our lives, and to be honest, it’s a little bit boring. Enter Conspiring, designed by Lisa R. Myers. The beautiful ribbed texture features brioche stitches- and we know that might seem scary, but it’s totally worth learning the technique when you witness how well it pairs with a single skein of space-dyed Manos del Uruguay Feliz. Plus, join us for FREE video tutorials you can watch any time, learn more here.

The Conspiring Brioche hat is challenging but fun, however I could never have done it without Jenny's tutorial. Her instructions were so detailed and helpful and I viewed it multiple times when I had "brain block" from the pattern. Thank you, Jenny! The Manos Del Uruguay yarn is very nice to work with and I can't wait to see this hat finished.
- PTPatti T.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars10 months agoLove the yarn but....
I love the yarn. It is easy to knit. It is soft and squishy! The pattern however.... I am what I call a beginner to intermediate knitter. I challenge myself. I have knit lace and short rows, sweaters, socks, hats, mittens, etc.... I loved the hat and decided that I wanted to learn brioche knitting. It is not a simple knit. I have started over several times and I may just be getting the hang of it..... finally! I have found many youtube videos to help me and I also stopped at my lys to buy new needles. I wish the pattern would have a link to a video and, I expected One Big Happy to have a video but I cannot find one. Perhaps I missed it? I will learn to knit this hat somehow because I love the yarn!
