Fiamma Hat

The Fiamma Hat is the featured pattern for December on [Plyful][1]. The Fiamma Brioche Crochet Hat is inspired by the flickering movement of flames — fiamma meaning “flame” in Italian. Worked sideways in a squishy stitch that mimics knitted brioche, it’s as fun to make as it is to wear. Whether you’re dressing it up or layering it casually, the Fiamma Brioche Hat is destined to become a favorite—both on your hook and in your wardrobe. Made with any yarn and for 6 different sizes, it is perfect to keep the whole family warm and stylish.
