Notes:

This brioche hat design is aptly named because I’ve fallen in love with two-color brioche! The body of the hat has leaves and blooms representing flower buds. So I hope you can see where the pattern name comes from.

I’ve included written instructions for the setup rows as well as the ribbing, body and crown sections. If you prefer charts, the body and crown charts are on the last page of the pattern.

Page three has photos and tips that I have learned that will help you be successful.

One size fits 21”/53 cm to 23”/58 cm heads; Bottom to start of crown = 7” (18cm); Crown depth = 2” (5cm) Easily sized up or down by changing needle size. If you want a more slouchy hat, you can do more ribbing at the bottom to make a taller hat.
