With a brioche rib design and colorwork stripes, this intermediate-level project offers a fun challenge for knitters looking to expand their skills. Reversible brioche fabric meets bulky yarn in this unimaginably squishy slouch featuring the new Spincycle Yarns Plump. Hat features asymmetrical detailing built with mirrored increasing & decreasing. You’ll fly through this quick knit already planning colors for your next, just like many of my test knitters did!
