Selvedge st, * p1, k1, rep from * cont., selvedge st.
Cable-Brioche-Pattern: (amount of sts multiple of 8 + 2 selvedge sts)
Row 1 (RS): selvedge st, *p1, k3 (= k1, k1 from yo in prev. row, k1), p2, 1 brioche st, p1, rep from * cont., selvedge st.
Row 2 (WS): selvedge st, *k1, 1 brioche st, k2, p3, k1, rep from * cont., selvedge st.
Row 3: selvedge st, *p1, sl 1p-wise wyib, k2, psso, p2, 1 brioche st, p1, rep from * cont, selvedge st.
Row 4: selvedge st, * k1, 1 brioche st, k2, p1, 1 yo, p1, k1, rep from * cont., selvedge st.
These 4 rows establish the patt. Rep cont. throughout.
Brioche st: on RS rows sl 1p-wise with a yo and in WS rows p these 2 sts tog.
Brioche Patt with 3 selvedge sts: amount of sts multiple of 2 plus 6 selvedge sts)
Right edge: k1, sl 1 p-wise wyif, k1
Left edge: sl 1 p-wise wyif, k1, sl 1 p-wise wyif
Row 1: 3 selvedge sts, * p1, k1, rep from * cont, ending row with 3 selvedge sts.
Row 2: 3 selvedge sts, * p1 with 1 yo, k1, rep from * cont, ending row with 3 selvedge sts.
Row 3: 3 selvedge sts, * p1 with 1 yo, k2tog (st with yo from prev row), rep from * cont, ending row with 3 selvedge sts.
Rep row 3 cont.

Tension:
22 sts and 36 rows to 10cm meas slightly stretched over cable-brioche patt using size 4mm needles or size needed to achieve given tension.
16 sts and 49 rows to 10cm meas over brioche patt using size 5mm needles or size needed to achieve given tension.

Instructions:
Hat:
The hat is worked in rows. Instructions for size large are given in brackets. If only one number is shown this applies to both sizes.
Cast on 100 [108] sts (including selvedge sts) and beginning with a RS row work ribbing for 9cm (= 25 rows)
For size large in the last row after the selvedge sts k2tog = 107sts.
Next row (WS): selvedge st, * k1, p1, k2, p1, 1yo, p1, k1, rep from * cont., selvedge st.
There are now 114 [122] sts after these incs of 14 [15] sts(yos)
Cont. in cable-brioche patt until work meas 19 [21]cm ending with a WS row (row 61 [69]).
Row 62 [70]: ( WS /4th row in patt without yos) selvedge st, * k1, 1 brioche st, k2, p2, k1, rep from * to end of row, then 1 selvedge st. = 100 [107] sts.
Next row and all following rows not explained: work the sts as they appear and cont. the brioche sts as established.
Row 65 [73] (RS): selvedge st, * p1, skp, p2, 1 brioche st, p1, rep from * ending with 1 selvedge st.
Row 67 [75] selvedge st, * p1, 1 brioche st, p2, 1 brioche st, p1, rep from * ending with 1 selvedge st. = 86 [92] sts
Row 69 [77]: selvedge st, * p1, 1 brioche st, p2tog, 1 brioche st, p1, rep from * cont. ending with 1 selvedge st. = 72 [77] sts.
Row 73 [81]: selvedge st, p1, * 1 brioche st, p1, 1 brioche st, p2tog, rep from * cont. ending with 1 selvedge st. = 58 [62] sts.
Row 77 [85]: selvedge st, * p1, sl 1 k-wise, k2tog (of the next 2 sts = 1 purl and 1 brioche from prev. row), psso, rep from * cont. ending with 1 selvedge st. = 30 [32] sts.
Row 81 [89]: selvedge st, * p1, sl 1 k-wise, k2tog, psso, rep from * cont. ending with 1 selvedge st. = 16 [18] sts.
Row 83 [91]: selvedge st, k2tog to end of row then 1 selvedge st. = 9 [10] sts.
Break yarn and thread through these 9 [10] sts and pull taught. Sew back seam tog keeping the seam as flat as possible and making sure the seam is on the outside on the bottom 4cm of the ribbing as not to show when turned back. Weave in ends.
Finishing: make a pompom approx. 9cm in diameter and attach to top of hat.

Snood:
Cast on 46 sts (including 6 selvedge sts) and work in brioche pattern with 3 selvedge sts on each edge. Work straight for 130 cm ending with a WS row. Next row: cast off all sts straight in patt working the yos with the accompanying st as k2tog.
Sew the cast on edge to the cast off edge as flat as possible.
