Brioche for beginners! I thought we might benefit from a really basic Brioche beanie pattern with lots of Brioche, and a quick crown. The beanie is designed to be very tall, creating a deep fold-up brim to highlight the reversible brilliance of Brioche. Although the pattern is titled basic, this may be considered an intermediate level pattern because knowledge of stitch construction, and research about Brioche is helpful.
