Hat description in 2 variations:
1) round knitted and
2) flat with back seam.
This hat/beanie is ideal for a novice knitter.

Quick to knit and even more delightful to wear.
You can knit up for yourself or as a gift to someone you love.

For my version I used Dutch Mohair in greyed light blue (www.theknitwitstable.nl)

Hat worked in round in St sts and rib border k2/p2.
With smaller circular needles, cast on 68 sts. Join, taking care
not to twist sts, and place stitch marker for beg of rnd. Work in border rib for 10cm.

Hat worked flat in rib border k2/p2 and St sts.
With smaller needles, cast on 69 sts. Work in border rib for 10cm.
Change needle size. Cont work in St sts until total length is 21cm
(or length desired ).

WASHING
To get a really nice, cosy and hairy beanie, you need to wash it, by using a washing machine wool program at 30º C. The mohair will show the qualities they are famous for.

Enjoy knitting!
