Coburg hat

Working in brioche always makes me think of baking bread. A traditional loaf inspired this hat. A Coburg loaf is slashed across the top before baking which creates coloured star on the top. This hat replicates the effect using syncopated brioche.

This hat is worked from the bottom-up in the round. The pattern is available in 3 sizes (S, M and L). In order for the hat to fit snuggly, there is negative ease built into the pattern. This means that the finished size is smaller than the size of head it will fit. Please take this into account when choosing which size to knit.

Any DK weight yarn should work well with this pattern. Choose two strongly contrasting colours for the best effect.

You will need to be able to brioche knit and purl, brioche increase and decrease, work in the round.
