This is a pattern for a colorful two-color brioche hat available in sizes baby (16”) through large adult (24”), either in beanie style or with a slight slouch. The pattern is aptly named Canvas, because the possible color combinations are endless. The samples are knitted in banded colors but you could also make a basic two-color version. Since brioche stitch is also reversible this adds yet another possible color combination.

The pattern contains step-by-step instructions on how to knit the exact hats pictured, and a basic explanation of how to create your own combinations. Do note that any worsted weight yarn in your chosen colors will work for these hats, the used yarns are simply suggestions.

This pattern requires knowledge of two-color brioche knitting, including how to work decrease stitches in brioche. Some refresher instructions are included at the end of the pattern, but these are only intended as an aid for those who are already somewhat familiar with two-color brioche and not as step-by-step instructions.
