To B(rioche) Or Not To B(rioche), that is the question.

I designed one hat and wrote two instructions. One with a brioche pattern and one with a fake brioche pattern - only with knit and purl stitches. You can decide if you want to knit a beginner knit/purl pattern or rather an advanced brioche pattern. This is the brioche pattern.

required material

Rohrspatz & Wollmeise Pure, 143 (154, 165) g, 501 (539, 587) m, 547 (589, 631) yds (yarn held double) Rowan Yarns Kidsilk Haze, 30 (32, 35) g, 250 (270, 289) m, 274 (295, 316) yds

gauge

18 sts x 26 rows = 4x4” in brioche

for the gauge only the brioche knit sts in the foreground were counted,

thus for 26 rows 52 rows are worked in the brioche pattern

used techniques

brioche stitches (knit, purl, right and left slanted decreases)
