UPDATE 2/6/24 I have taken into account comments from projects and adjusted this pattern so that it fits more snug and isn’t quite so tall. Please email me with any questions.

A couple of months ago, I created a lovely shawl using pink, mustard and cream colored yarns. I used up all of the pink, but had enough of the yellow and cream to make a beanie. I got to work, searching Pinterest for inspiration and found a brioche beanie using the star stitch. I thought it would be perfect, but I didn’t have enough yarn for the brioche technique, so I wrote this pattern. Enjoy!

PS I have not written a scarf pattern to go with this beanie, but here are some options:

I have not tried any of these, but they would make a good set!
