Funfetti!! This is a beginner level two-color brioche hat, perfect for learning the technique!
I have designed this hat specifically for those wanting to learn how to knit two-color brioche. I have included photo tutorials teaching all the brioche techniques! I also wanted this pattern to be accessible with the yarn that I used. I intentionally purchased this Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick at my local Walmart, and there is enough yarn in two skeins to make two hats of any size! Please see below for other yarn options that might work for you.
» Yarn Substitutions:
I have put together a list of other Super Bulky weight yarns that could work for this pattern! I hope you can find something accessible to you, both in price and location. Try any Super Bulky weight yarn you might have in your stash, or that you can find at your LYS / Craft store! Please note that none of these yarns have been test knit, so the outcome may differ from the pattern.
