Lots of room for that big Brain! This slouchy, reversible hat uses brioche knitting to create vertical, three dimensional ribs of contrasting colors. Pattern calls for one skein each of two different colors of Simpliworsted yarn from HiKoo.

Hat is knit in the round on 16” circular needles. DPN’s are also needed of the larger size. Hat is cast on with smaller needles, then switch to larger needles after band is knit.
