Hats in brioche are twice as warm and offer so many opportunities for design. The Drizl hat is my take on raindrops falling from the sky and running down windows.

Construction notes
The Drizl hat comes in two sizes (Child, Adult) and offers two different options for length: beanie and slouchy.
It is knit using two-colour stockinette brioche which is similar to two-colour brioche but looks like stockinette instead of ribbing.

Each brioche stitch is explained in the Abbreviations and Techniques section. The pattern is suitable for adventurous brioche beginners.

Brioche sounds intimidating but really it’s a piece of cake! (pun intended)
