December Beanie knittingforolive_new

December Beanie is a simple and classic hat that can be made with or without a folded brim. It is worked using 1 strand of Merino + 2 strands of Soft Silk Mohair held together. The hat is double-layered, making it extra warm, and the two strands of Soft Silk Mohair add extra softness and coziness. The hat is worked in once piece from the top of the crown on the outer layer to the top of the crown on the inner layer and then folded inside itself, making it double-layered. The increases are worked as simple yarn overs that are worked through the back loop on the following round.
