Had to frog and start over, my head is apparently tiny! After I finished the second time, it’s just about perfect! After blocking, I realized that I probably could have taken out another pattern repeat.

Also, this particular yarn doesn’t really frog well. It’s very sticky, and, in my opinion, didn’t look quite as nice after I frogged it. However, I don’t think that it really changed the look of the hat, especially after it was blocked. I love the colors that Maxima is offered in, and how super duper soft it is, so I’ll be buying it again!

Final Thoughts

I would definitely knit this pattern again. It’s a fairly quick knit, and I enjoyed it a lot. It was the perfect introduction to Brioche, and I’m already looking forward to my next Brioche project. I think the only thing that I might have done differently is gone down a needle size or two for the ribbing so it’s just a bit tighter. Other than that, I’m very happy with my finished project, and have already gotten several compliments!
