Empty Nest Hat
The interplay between colors in brioche is irresistible. This pattern uses that pattern and color play to tell the story of the young fledgling leaving the nest. For this pattern, make sure you choose two yarns with good contrast.
Finished size—19” (48 cm) circumference, unstretched, 8” (20 cm) deep (fits heads up to 23”/58.5 cm) Brioche is very stretchy, so this hat will fit a wide variety of head sizes. The hat above is modeled on a 23” (58.5 cm) head.
Materials:
• Sport/Light DK weight yarn—approx. 200 yds, 182 m total
As shown, Malabrigo Arroyo—MC Azul Profundo 100 yds/91 m, CC Fresco y Seco 100 yds/91 m
• US Size 4 (3.5 mm) 16” (41 cm) needle (or size needed to obtain gauge) and DPNs of same size
• US Size 3 (3.25 mm) 16” (41 cm) needle
