ERRATA! Round 2 of 2-color brioche should say brk1, wyf sl1 yo

This is a worsted weight, 2 color hat with a moon phases motif. The brim of the hat is knit in 2 color brioche instead of normal ribbing. Strategic decreases at the crown of the hat create a star or snowflake pattern. The moon pattern is worked over a repeat of 58 stitches, so the hat is knit at tighter gauge than normal to squeeze them all in. The pattern is mostly charted.
