This hat pattern is a very modern twist on the classic ribbed beanie. Featuring 2 color brioche create the verticle columns and an innovative technique that I have designed that mimics the verticle brioche columns horizontally. This hat is simple, quick, and a great project be beginner knitters or knitters who are interested in practicing brioche!
