I’ve had to put the tenacious tank top away. Booo. Thank you to those who suggested some great names including “Sunshine on My Shoulders”. No worries though, I haven’t given up; it was time to take a break. I’ll be revisiting that one soon and plan to release it in the late spring.

I have been working away on a new hat design – the Oh Brother Hat. I’m really excited about this one. Okay, they all excite me! It’s unisex, goes up to 24″, and is a great introduction to brioche. I can tell you that the brioche here is easy because it’s in the round, two colors, and alternates with garter stitch.

This hat skips the brioche ribbing for the brim. I love the look, but holy cow that’s a pain to do. If you have tried brioche before and found it frustrating, give this pattern a try. You might just get hooked on brioche. Look for this pattern and your subscriber discount in early December. For now, here’s a quick peak at the hat/beanie.

Update: The Oh Brother Hat is now live on Ravelry. You can get a good look at it here.
