This hat is worked with a strand of fingering weight yarn held double with a strand of lace weight mohair to produce a finished product with a lovely soft halo. It utilizes a bubble stitch to create intriguing texture and is oversized and slouchy, perfect for pulling down to cover your neck and ears on cold winter days.

YARN:
230 yards of fingering weight yarn held together with a strand of lace weight mohair/silk blend. For the sample, Blacker Swan (worsted spun merino and shetland wool, 190 yards per 50g, colorway: Pebble) and Rowan Kidsilk Haze ( 70% mohair, 30% silk, 230 yards per 25g, colorway: Aura) were used.
Note: if you are sensitive to mohair you may substitute a single strand of a sport weight yarn for this pattern, however please be sure to check your gauge to ensure a proper fit.
