Baba au Rhum by Zabeth Loisel-Weiner

Craft: Knitting

A pattern featuring Noro yarn Kureyon.

The beauty of working a hat in two-color brioche knitting is that it can be worn on either side. Increases and decreases combine to create a faux-cable pattern. Shown here is the darker shade of KUREYON #263 Ninohe as the main color. Wear it with #211 Kani on the outside for a more subtle look.
