This Bluestem Beanie was addicting. The regular repeats of the pattern really helped me mark and notice progress and it was hard to put down.

Pattern: Bluestem Beanie by Rebekah Lil (Rav Link)

Needles: US 7s and 8s

Yarn: Hat kit from Amber Waves Dye studio with their Alpaca Cloud DK and Kid Silk Fluff

The finished project is heavenly soft, that alpaca really helps the underlying softness with the fluffy mohair. The finished hat weighs 67 grams but feels like air. I think the finished yardage worked out to roughly 229 yards of yarn. I did add one extra repeat of the patterning to make my hat taller before starting decreases.

This yarn and pattern combo is so well done. I love how the colors worked out in the finished piece. The dyer did a great job! I think I will make this pattern again with other yarns in my stash to see how it works up with other bases mixed with mohair.

Happy Knitting!!
