Try a new technique to knit this cosy beret, combining a classic smooth yarn with a light and airy mohair to create a swirling design that looks good enough to eat!

This hat is worked from the bottom up in the round. The pattern section is worked by alternating stitches in A only (with B held in the back), B only (with A held in the back) and A and B held double together.

This pattern was first published in Knit Now magazine, but I will be self-publishing my own version soon.
