Hello There Mohair Beanie (EN)

€5.50

This is a fuzzy delight of a beanie that is worked bottom up with 3 strands of silk mohair held together. The folded edge is worked in brioche stitch to give it a contemporary feel while keeping your precious noggin warm.

I combined 3 strands of different shades of pinks for this and it was the perfect way to get rid of some random balls of scrap yarns in my stash. I can highly recommend it, try choosing 3 shades that are close to each to create a really deep and rich color.
