Dulcify Hat

The Dulcify Hat combines brioche knitting with stranded colorwork or mosaic-style knitting to create a whole new way to incorporate a third color in your brioche knitting. Brioche cables keep your two foreground colors twisting and dancing their way up the hat. Dulcify means “to sweeten” and visions of candy canes, sugar ribbons, and cotton candy will be swirling around your head as you engage with this sweet new approach to brioche knitting.
