This is the hip sister of the beloved Marta Beanie. They are similar in many ways, yet different. A hip crown and a generous gauge guarantee this sweet hat will fly off your needles in no time. Bonus points? The pattern includes instructions to work the beanie both **top down** and **bottom up!** The result is a perfect classic ribbed hat with a couple of tricks up its sleeve. An ideal stash buster: grab a beautiful hand-dyed skein and whatever mohair is left in your yarn stash and give it some love. It is going to look pretty no matter what! Relaxing, gorgeous and so addictive to knit, you cannot resist casting on one after another. TIP! A variegated, speckled or tweedy yarn base will elevate this design to the ‘effortless basic with a twist’ category. **sizes** Adult (1, 2, 3) Finished head circumference: approx. 48 (56, 64) cm / 19 (22.4, 25.6)”. **gauge** 20 sts x 28 rounds in 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4”) in twisted rib worked in the round on gauge-size needles (for my sample, 5 mm needles). **yarn** 125 (150, 175) meters of DK-weight yarn held together with the same amount of lace-weight silk mohair. For my sample, in size 1, I used 1 skein of La Bien Aimée Merino DK (100 gr / 230 m) in colorway Peach Pom Pom held together with Isager Silk Mohair (25 gr / 212 m) in colorway 6s. **needles** ­— 5 mm (US8) circular needle (or needle size to obtain gauge). Swatch to find the right needle size for your own tension and yarn choice. SUPPORT For support, questions and love letters, you can reach out at vanessa@vanessapellisa.com.
