Intrecciato is a brioche hat featuring an allover brioche stitch pattern resembling a braid. Fun and colorful, this hat is a joy to make and to wear!
Brioche stitch makes this hat perfectly reversible, so that it is possible to choose the side to show when wearing: both the light and the dark side of the hat look amazing.
The hat is quite tall, so that’s even possible to turn the brim, to add a layer of warmth and show the contrast between the light and the dark side.

The hat is worked using two-color brioche stitch worked in the round, with increases and decreases (simple and double), so it is not recommended for an absolute brioche beginner. On the other end, this is a small project, so it’s the perfect way to experiment new techniques if you are not new to brioche and feel a little adventurous.

Size: One size. Due to the elasticity of the brioche stitch, the hat circ. stretches to fit any adult head.
