This Bluestem Pattern might be my new fixation for hats. I can use up DK scraps and finally put that Mohair I have stashed to good use. Let’s face it, I am never going to wear a mohair sweater…..cowls and hats are where it’s at.

Pattern: Bluestem Beanie by Rebekah Lill (Rav link)

Needles: US 7s and 8s

Yarn: Apothefaery Fabrications Delightful DK in Glimmer and Stranded Dyeworks Mohair Silk in Gloom

Mods: Added one repeat of hat patterning

I love this marriage of yarns held double. The grey mohair really mutes the DK yarn. It’s not quite as soft as my first one. But that one had alpaca content…..

And bonus, the mohair really ups the yardage count for this project for more points in the DCS 2024 Pigskin Party KAL. This project ended up being 95 grams and 319 yards. This hat is going into the gift pile and I have plenty enough left of the mohair skein to make another hat. I just need to find the DK!
