Basic Brioche Hat

This stylish hat is designed using a beautiful brioche pattern, perfect for versatile wear as either a slouchy hat or a snug beanie with a folded brim. Crafted with DK weight yarn, this project is not only quick to finish, but also provides a cozy and warm accessory for colder days. You have the exciting option to create your hat in either a single color or a vibrant two-color brioche, allowing for personalized expression and creative flair!

The brioche stitch is highly elastic, making this pattern a one-size-fits-most design. The finished hat measures 37 cm (14 ½ inches) in circumference and stretches comfortably to 60 cm (23 ½ inches), ensuring a great fit for a variety of head sizes. This makes it an ideal project for gifting to friends and family!

For the sample hats, we used a luxurious chainette yarn that offers an airy texture and results in an impressively lightweight hat. However, you are free to use any standard plied yarn that meets the gauge requirements. If you're feeling adventurous, holding two strands of fingering weight yarn together can easily provide the DK weight you need – this is a fantastic opportunity to use up your leftover sock yarn stash, creating a uniquely colorful and fun version of this pattern!
