Suitable for beginner to intermediate skill levels. Pattern requires ability to cast on, knit, purl, knit through the back look, purl through the back look, and decrease by knitting two stitches together at once. This hat pattern calls for fingering weight and mohair held together and knits up surprisingly quick as a result. The Centrifugal Hat has a classic look with alternating bands of twisted rib and stockinette which create a striped effect. Pattern is available in English only. One size (can easily be made larger or smaller).

Yarn
Requires approximately 175 yards Sock/Fingering weight and approximately 175 yards of Mohair
You could easily make 2 hats out of one skein of each of the recommended yarns - one for you and one for a friend! Or, great for gifting!
