The Hourglass Hat is a ribbed beanie with a brim that is folded twice. This extra-warm hat is perfect for cold winter days.

The hat is knit in the round from the bottom up with two strands of yarn held together – DK-weight merino wool and mohair. Adding a strand of mohair creates a soft halo and makes the hat cozier and warmer.

First, you will cast on the required number of stitches and join knitting in the round. Next, you will knit a long tube until you reach your desired length. Then you will work the crown decreases. After that, you will thread a tapestry needle and draw the tail through the remaining stitches.
