This will be a quick like post for a quick little three day knit. The pattern is found on Ravelry and called the Helix Brioche Hat by Jonatan Tollow. I found it because it was the only free brioche hat using DK weight where the model was a man. Not that I think hats or the patterns on them should be inherently gendered, but I liked all the options and this was an easy way to pick since I made this for my friend Ryan’s birthday. The yarn I used was the single by DK from Yarn Hygge which I bought at Rhinebeck. Look at me, using Rhinebeck yarn for the purpose I intended it for less than a month out. Who even am I lol?
Here’s just a few quick snapshots from life lately. I got a new kitty, her name is Nori and she was rescued by my friends! I got her two days ago and she is so so sweet and adorable. Her and Wasabi have seen each other once and not freaked out, so I’m hopeful for a good friendship eventually. We’re ramping up to the show, it opens two weeks from today, and my costumes are due a week from tomorrow. I took last Monday off and my friends Leah and Jen came over and helped me!
The hat looks great. Thanks for the reco as I want to do a small brioche project before tackling the sweater I want to knit. Your new kitty is adorable. I hope everyone figures out how to get along. Best wishes on getting your costumes completed on time!!
This pattern has some pictures to help with the stitches! I think it’s good because you can practice the increases and decreases as well
Loving the hat and your new kitten.
I keep meaning to try brioche, thanks for the link! Nori is super adorable too 😊
Your new kitty is adorable, and the hat is lovely!
Kitty! So cute. And the new hat looks great!
Love that hat and hope your friend does too! Congrats on the new kitten – she’s adorable. Tuxedos have such great personalities. Enjoy!
