Found a skein of mohair in your stash and not sure what to do with it? Need a warm and fuzzy hat to keep your head and ears warm? I designed this beret to be a fun and quick knit using simple colourwork and short rows to create a funky shape. This pattern is best knit with a solid main colour in a wool and a softly variegated contrast colour in a mohair. Our you could have fun using up scraps of yarn and change either the main colour or contrast colour in each wedge section!
