Please note that while row gauge isn't crucial for this pattern, it's essential to maintain stitch gauge for the best results.
**Materials Needed:** To knit this charming brioche beanie, you will need one skein of DK-weight yarn. The sample yarn used, TréLiz Hera DK, boasts 246 yards (225 meters) per 100 grams (3.53 ounces) in the stunning colorway Steppe.

If you prefer, you may use larger double-pointed needles for the crown shaping. Adjust your needle size as needed to achieve the correct gauge.
