Was my first charity pattern (supported one single mum and her 2 kids, before Christmas… and she didn’t know herself) -

You get 2 pattern in same time. Also Diamonds Sparkle Hat - 2 pattern at the same time.
I’m addicted– brioche addicted! Brioche knitting is a simple mulicolor technique where you can mix your favorite colors and yarns - be unique and playful. But attention! It’s so addicting!

This pattern is both written and charted, for your convenience!

This hat is worked in the round from the bottom up, repeating pattern rounds.
Two-color brioche is unique and the result is like two different hats - You can wear both sides. Two.color brioche creates a gorgeous reversible fabric.
This beanie is a slightly slouchly version (if you want a shorter hat or smaller sizes – do less sections and use smaller needles). The pattern sizes are as yellow and brown beanie.

In two-colors brioche stitsh, two rounds are worked for each counted round that appears on the face of the work. The first and the main color is worked around once (I have yellow) and then the same round is worked again using the contrast color (I used brown) in other words - second color.
