A cute hat in an all-over brioche pattern designed to showcase the beauty of speckled or tonal variegated yarns. While the stitch pattern looks like cables, the pattern is worked using a technique of knitting 3 stitches out of 3 stitches. An optional eye-catching feature is a big pompom.

The hat is worked in the round from the brim to the top.
