This brioche hat is much easier to knit than it looks at a first glance. It is a very pretty eye-catching pattern. Brioche knitting itself keeps the whole knitting process very interesting and the resultant squishiness is amazing to touch and feel along with the warmth it gives. The hat is knit in the round bottom up. The hat can be knit in multiple sizes if required by changing the needle size and gauge.

If interested I recommend Nancy Marchant’s books on brioche knitting and online Craftsy classes that will give more information on the intriguing brioche technique.
