Brioche Check Hat

My initial inspiration for the Brioche Check Hat stemmed from a frosty cold morning in Indiana, where we were entrenched in a deep freeze. Icicles hung elegantly from every corner of the house, and a soft blanket of snow covered the ground, while the air and sky were adorned with a cool grey hue. As I observed the lovely drips from the icicles which formed a dotted check pattern on the ground, an idea began to crystallize in my mind. I have always had a fondness for hats that can be worn in two unique styles, and I decided that brioche knitting would be the most intriguing method to encapsulate these icy colors while ensuring the hat looks stylish on both sides. The Brioche Check Hat is completely reversible and can be worn showcasing predominantly white or mostly grey, allowing you to match it to your mood or outfit effortlessly. When worn on the predominantly white side, it evokes memories of icicles hanging gracefully and dripping into the soft snow below. To enhance the design, the ribbed starting section was knitted using contrasting colors. This way, when the hat is folded up to be worn, the brioche ribs align perfectly with the ribs of the intricately shaped crown. This thoughtful design not only provides a beautiful aesthetic but also enhances the overall fit and comfort of the hat. I truly can’t wait for the winter weather to arrive, so I can show off my super cozy Brioche Check Hat.
