Thecnique
The Frostine Beanie is worked holding three strands of mohair together starting from the double-folded brim using knit stitches that are knitted through the back loop. Then you fold your work double and knit your sts together with your CO sts (so that you knit through both your cast on st and your regular st) forming the brim. After changing to a bigger needle size you work the rest of the beanie in brioche knitting creating a beautiful texture. Then decreases are done for the top of the beanie. Add a tuft using leftover yarn as a cute detail.
