These fingerless mitts are knit in the round using the magic loop method. Knit in both 2 color brioche and garter stitch to create a fun geometric pattern with super easy increases for the thumb gusset. They are cozy, stretchy, and will fit a range of sizes with included notes for adding length if desired. I have made separate PDFs for the S/M and L/XL sizes to make it easier to follow and track where you are in the pattern.

100-120 Yards (92-110 Meters) fingering weight yarn (Color B - this is your background/brp color, sample shown in black)
32-40” circular US 1 (80cm-100cm 2.25MM) Needles or size needed to obtain gauge.

This hat was designed with the beginner brioche knitter in mind using 2 colors of bulky weight yarn. Simple, in the round, 2 color brioche. Clear and descriptive instructions. The hat has standard decrease shaping at the top, that’s right no brioche decreases in this one. You will be able to finish it after learning just the brk and brp stitch. It knits up fast too!

MATERIALS
US 10 6.0mm 16” 40cm circular needles
US 10 6.0mm DPNs
1 Stitch marker
60 yards of Bulky yarn (Color A in pattern, Malabrigo Yarns: Chunky - Sunset)
50 yards of Bulky yarn (Color B in pattern, Malabrigo Yarns: Chunky - Black)

MEASUREMENTS
18 - 22 ½” around x 9” 46-56cm around x 23cm

GAUGE
12 stitches and 16 rows = 4” 10cm in 2 color brioche stitch on US 10 6.0mm needles or size needed to obtain gauge.
