Description
The Whitman Hat features mock brioche cables that surround an angular brioche motif inspired by traditional American cabin architecture. Interpreting classic cable motifs in modern two-color brioche demonstrates the progression from past to present in one hat. This hat gives you the opportunity to practice advanced techniques such as brioche decreases and a braided cast-on.
