This simple, satisfying beanie is perfect for new knitters, and makes a wonderfully quick project.
This hat is ideal as a handmade gift, a ready-to give present for someone crafty, or a ready-to-wear favorite for yourself.

Knit by holding one strand of Koigu Chelsea (100% merino, aran weight, 100g) together with one strand of Koigu Sofie (70% kid mohair / 30% silk, lace weight, 25g), this hat blends softness, warmth, and a beautiful halo for a luxurious finish.

Designed as a basic, easy-to-follow beanie pattern, it works up fast thanks to the aran-weight base and the added texture of mohair, perfect for last-minute gifting or mindless knitting.
The hat is knit flat on straight needles, working back and forth. The crown is shaped with simple decreases at the top, then the hat is seamed to finish, making it approachable even for first-time hat knitters
