Staghorn is a 2-color brioche convertible cowl/hat, knit in the round from the bottom up with worsted weight yarn. It features a large Staghorn motif. The piece begins with simple 2-color brioche rib.

You can knit the whole piece in brioche rib, or move on to add the Staghorn motif.

A row of eyelets near the top lets you convert this piece from a cowl to a hat with a simple drawstring. This brioche design was created for a skill-building collaboration with yarn from Sweet Paprika Designs.
