Skogen hat

Sizes: S (M) L - kiddo, adult 1, adult 2 ● Level: 2/3 ● Skogen Hat is perfect for relaxed outdoor life, but thanks to the fashionable and contemporary look, it suits for urban outfitters as well. The hat is worked with holding 2 strands, 1 fingering weight merino wool strand and 1 silk mohair strand, together. Blurry mohair makes the hat soft, and interesting crown decreases are fun to make. You can choose yarns with similar colorways or use the mohair as a popping effect that changes the shade of the fabric. If you skip the mohair, you get a classic hat. If you prefer that, check your gauge and yarn choice so the hat keeps its shape. To get the perfect look for the edge, use the tubular cast on method. If you’re a beginner, use the classic long-tail CO method. * Finished measurements: Circumference appr. 38 (40) 42 cm / 15 (16) 17”, to fit head circumference appr. 52 (56) 60 cm / 21 (22.5) 24” Shown in size M.
