You can create this offset Stockinette and Honeycomb unique texture combination by working it either in brioche or tuck methods that allows for the knit fabric to compress, creating extra warmth! Fold the brim over to keep those ears extra toasty. Elasticity of the hat fabric proves its versatility with the great fit and flattering style, suiting everyone!

NOTES
If you only have 1 yarn cake in one color you can opt to pull on the yarn from inside and outside of the cake while still alternating strands. This patterning doesn’t work with one continuous strand of yarn.
Brioche/Tuck produces incredibly stretchy fabric, washing and blocking your gauge swatch is imperative to ensure the fit.

GAUGE
12 sts and 36 rnds = 4” / 10 cm in Stockinette Brioche/Tuck Stockinette worked on smaller needle, measured relaxed once dry after washing and blocking
Note that 36 worked rnds in Stockinette Brioche/Tuck Stockinette looks like only 18 Brioche rnds from the RS, because each stitch is slipped (or the equivalent) on alternate rnds.
