“I “unvented” this stitch pattern after becoming curious about different ways to create a honeycomb or lattice effect in brioche. The resulting fabric is cushy and intriguingly dimensional in plush Imbue Worsted, making for a cozy but polished beanie or watchcap sized for the whole family.

Choose a Color 2 that’s darker than your Color 1 to ensure the honeycomb effect shown here, or go with lower contrast or a lighter Color 2 for a softer look. This stitch pattern is also ripe for colorplay by changing up your Color 2 throughout the hat!“ — designer, Mary Weaver
