A few notes about this hat:

#1 handspun and hand dyed yarn are THE cat’s pajamas and if you can get your hands on some, do it NOW 

#2 The handspun mohair used in this pattern was bought this summer at a farmer’s market while on a family vacation on Orcas Island. Warm Valley Orchards makes a variety of handspun/dyed yarns, you can contact them through their website: http://www.warmvalleyorchard.com/ (No sponsorship, I just love their stuff & buying local).

#3 I have used Knit Picks’ Capra DK a few times and just recently realized than Capra means Goat in Italian…the yarn is part cashmere, cashmere is goat…Mind blown.

Luxury from a goat, who knew? This hat is knit with a strand of DK weight and a strand of mohair. You will need a US 6 16” circular and a US 9 16” circular and US 9 DPN’s. For gauge, I would only pay attention to the gauge of the brim unless you want the top portion to really hug your head- up to you! Wear it long or folded and enjoy it.

Ok, enough of me, please enjoy this pattern!
