Ribbed Embrace hat
Bérénice und Rakuda is like a match made in heaven! 
Knit together they create the softest cosiest embrace for your head in winter. This easy ribbed hat can be worn as a slouchy or with folded brim for warmer ears and creates a very versatile unisex style!

Yarn
A light fingering and a lace mohair held together or a standard fingering weight yarn of your choice on its’ own. Use of stash yarn is encouraged.
Shown in:
A: Bérénice, De Rerum Natura, 55 % Super Kid Mohair, 25% Silk, 20% wool, 210 m/25 g, Colour: Sauge
B: Rakuda, ITO, 70 % wool, 30 % camel, 211 m/40 g,

Approx 150-160 m of each yarn or use a single strand of fingering weight yarn.

Naturally you can use a different Mohair yarn, but I warmly recommend Berenice for its’ wool content that brings that extra bit of elasticity giving you an enjoyable knitting and wearing experience.
