Unnecessary brioche stitch hat is complete!

Unnecessary brioche stitch hat is complete!
I say unnecessary because I don’t 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 Right! 👌

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

@Sobtanian I’d 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.
Don’t let me put you off, if you’ve got some yarn that’s 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. It’s a bit too bulky for my liking but wow is it warm so I’ll be wearing it when it’s subzero again.

@Sobtanian I like how bulky hats frame the face, but to each their own :) good to know that at least it’s 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 she’s kinda right but with two colours it’s really easy to see a drop.
Repairing it, however, requires a crochet hook and a simple rhyme: under one, over two, pull through!
