Honeycrisp Hat Pattern

I’m always on the hunt for the perfect wardrobe pieces—those classic, timeless finds that simply
click the moment I see them. Enter my answer for the perfect hat, Honeycrisp! Named after my
favorite variety of apple, whose peels are mottled with beautiful vertical lines, and inspired by
my love of texture and ribbing, this hat is a wardrobe staple. Knit in either Worsted or Aran
weight yarn and available in two sizes, it is worked in a beginner-friendly Quarter Brioche
pattern that’s easy to memorize. Top it off with your favorite pom and you’re all set for apple
picking, hiking, or errands!
