Looking for some amazing yarns to knit this design? I am in love with the Bodacious Bulky from Emma’s Yarn! Each kit will knit both the hat and the matching mittens!

Brioche knitting creates a scrumptious, squishy texture for wonderfully warm accessories. This pattern was designed as an introduction to this fun technique, using bulky weight yarn for fast and easy-to-see results. The patterning is simple, and video tutorials are included to demonstrate exactly how to work each stitch.
