Cozy and full of color, the Saara Beanie is a gorgeous winter accessory worked with multiple strands of silk mohair. Knit from the bottom up: start with a neat ribbed brim using 5 strands of yarn, and later add an extra strand for a soft, fluffy crown ✨

You’ll need about 3–4 balls of silk mohair, depending on the size, but this is also a perfect scrap yarn project. You can combine any silk mohair you like, as long as the yarn is approximately 210 m / 25 g, giving you almost endless color possibilities!

Although listed as worsted weight, the fabric is much lighter and fluffier than a traditional worsted yarn due to the multiple strands of silk mohair held together.
