Unnecessary brioche stitch hat is complete!

Unnecessary brioche stitch hat is complete!
I say unnecessary because I donโt really need another hat and I only made it to use up some good leftover yarn.
When I was making it, I thought the left hand version looked better, but wearing it I now prefer the right.
What do you think?

@Sobtanian I like both and your alt text is on point ๐คฃ
Brioche stitch in two colors always looks so cool to me, but at the same time like unnecessary hassle ๐ is it as difficult as I think it is? -

@Sobtanian Iโd prefer the left. But seriously cool (warm) hat!

@Sobtanian I prefer the right but that you can change it is the nicest part. It turned out so well!

BUT!
Decreases *are* fiddly (not hard just fiddly) so as it gets smaller, it gets fiddler and the margin for error is very small.
Donโt let me put you off, if youโve got some yarn thatโs left over just play about with it and see. I used this free pattern https://www.purlsoho.com/create/2025/09/09/two-color-brioche-hat/

@maru that it is. Super warm.

@venite thanks. Itโs a bit too bulky for my liking but wow is it warm so Iโll be wearing it when itโs subzero again.

@Sobtanian I like how bulky hats frame the face, but to each their own :) good to know that at least itโs practical!

@Sobtanian *bookmarks* oh, thank you! I inherited a stash, so I do have a lot of left over yarn that's really nice...
Yeah, my mom told me that brioche can be fiddly because you can't really "catch" a dropped stitch.

@scintilla sheโs kinda right but with two colours itโs really easy to see a drop.
Repairing it, however, requires a crochet hook and a simple rhyme: under one, over two, pull through!
