The BRIOCHEDGE hat is showing little leaves all around and a wonderful crown solution. The pattern is made in Merino DK and surprisingly simple when it comes to the crown.
The hat has a brim, is very stretchy, slightly slouchy and well-fitting at the same time. It’s important to note that there are no 4-stitch-decreases to be knit. You can do it, knitters!
The hat can be knit in multiple sizes only by changing needle size and gauge; Block the finished cap over a steep-sided bowl or other head-shaped form to smooth the crown.
