Dedicated to Eric, my biggest support and best friend.

Construction
This reversible, two-color stockinette brioche hat is knit in the round, bottom-up. Fun fact: the wrong side was originally intended to be the right side because I love the texture of the purl brioche side. However, the crown shaping shows up better on the knit brioche side, so that’s what I ended up getting more photographs of.
