Fougasse Hat

The Fougasse Hat takes its name from the traditional French flatbread that inspired its leafy motifs. The design includes a range of brioche techniques that promise to keep you engaged and teach you something new. The Fougasse Hat will highlight your skill while keeping you as warm as a loaf of freshly baked bread.

Combine the Fougasse Hat with the Fougasse Shawlette to make the perfect matching set!

Instructions are provided in written and charted form. Video tutorials are linked in the pattern for brioche increases, decreases, and cables.
