Notes

I wanted a hat from this sparkly yarn and I imagined it would look super neat with this mohair silk and it absolutely does. I looooooove it!

The yarn is worsted and the pattern calls for DK or aran so I chose a needle size up and used DK numbers.

Tubular cast on 100 stitches and then rearranged for 2x2 rib.

Argh, I love this! I’m definitely going to hold some of my black mohair-silk with the stuff I have for the Honey Cowl!
