Weizen

WEIZEN is the German word for wheat. Do you remember the WHEATandCHAFF cowl, which I designed last year?  Surprisingly it had only one (1!) pattern round, considering  that straight brioche knitting isn´t a pattern... WEIZEN hat is just another one-round-wonder.  That´s so much fun!

Due to the regular increases and decreases WEIZEN hat is very stretchy and well-fitting at the same time.  

As you should know the brioche pattern is only worked every 8 rounds, giving you a chance to get into a rhythm. Although it looks like cabled brioche stitches, you only have to knit increases and decreases. There is no need for a cable needle. You can do it, knitters!

I have raveled the crown several times, trying to find a neat solution without "br4stdec", which is rather tricky for many knitters... and because I ´d like to keep the pattern simple, too.
