Smush is a two-color sport weight beanie with the most scrumptious, squishiest brim. The double-layered brim is knit with eye-catching two-color brioche on the outside and lined with single-color ribbing.

I find that brioche tends to get stretched out throughout the day, but the inner layer of ribbing provides the elasticity that keeps Smush fitting well all day long. Plus, the double-thick brim is doubly warm!

Description

Smush is an easy two-color brioche hat knitting pattern. It calls for two colors of sport weight yarn and has the most scrumptious, squishiest brioche brim. The double-layered brim is knit with eye-catching two-color brioche on the outside and lined with single-color ribbing.

I find that brioche tends to get stretched out throughout the day, but the inner layer of ribbing provides the elasticity that keeps Smush fitting well all day long. Plus, the double-thick brim is doubly warm!
