BEANIE BRIOCHE

• 1 ball of Contrepoint® N°1 – approx. 98 yd (90 m)
• Digital tutorial (fr)
• 8 stitch markers

Yarn not included. This pattern is designed to be paired with your own yarn — Aran, DK, or mohair. Suggested pairings are provided in the tutorial.

One beanie, two moods. Our brioche-knit beanie is fully reversible and two-toned. Wear it cuffed or slouchy, depending on the day.

One side is soft and blurred, with the cloudlike feel of wool. The other is clean-cut, shaped by the graphic line of our technical yarn. The magic of Contrepoint® works through the brioche stitch: stretchy, sculpting, and one-size-fits-most with no tightness.

And yes, it’s warm. The technical yarn adds a windproof layer of insulation, almost invisibly.

The Brioche Beanie is an intermediate-level project with a smooth, fast-paced journey mapped out for you.
Quick to knit, it’s a perfect introduction to working brioche stitch in the round.
Best suited for confident knitters comfortable with holding two yarns and shaping through decreases.

After finishing your knit, the best way to care for it is a gentle hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild, bleach-free detergent. No soaking..
To remove excess water, press it lightly between two towels. Don’t wring or twist. Lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight or any heat source.

Machine washing is possible on a delicate cycle (30 °C max, low spin), ideally inside a protective laundry bag to reduce friction. We recommend the GUPPYFRIEND® bag, designed to protect fibers and capture microplastics.

Avoid tumble drying, dry cleaning, and ironing.
