This is the pattern I know I can depend on for stash busting, wardrobe enhancing, or a quick gift for someone I love! Ideal for beginner brioche enthusiasts, this hat is knit from the bottom up in two color brioche and is totally reversible! The crown shaping utilizes a different decrease then the original [Harlow][3], so if you try both you will be well on your way to a brioche pro! There are lots of brioche video tutorials linked in the pattern (and below) to help you on your way! **SIZES** 1 (2, 3) **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Circumference - 16 (18, 20)”/40.5 (46, 51) cm Height - 9 (9.5, 9.5)”/23 (24, 24) cm *To Fit: 18-20 (21-22, 23-24)”/46-51 (53.5-56, 58.5-61) cm Head Circumference* **YARN REQUIREMENTS** *These are just approximations.

I really love Brooklyn Tweed's new Tones line, as playing with one hue in a light and dark is always guaranteed to be stunning in brioche.
