How to knit a mohair hat | Beanie in English rib

In this tutorial, I will show you how to knit a mohair hat in English rib. It's very soft, fluffy and lightweight. It has a voluminous brim, that is folded up twice.
The hat is knit in the round, bottom-up, in English rib. I knit in the Continental style, but you can easily knit in the English style - the pattern stays the same.

Since this hat is knit from a fluffy yarn the stitches are fluffy too, so knitting the first rows maybe a little bit confusing, but when you'll get the hang of the pattern it will go smoothly.

If you want to fold up the brim only once - knit 30cm (11.8"), not 40cm (16").

If you don't want to join the stitches in the round using the invisible join, you can cast on the required 54 stitches and join them in the round by just starting to knit, but in that case, a little gap can form in the first round.

MATERIALS:

Yarn: mohair yarn (that's lace weight yarn), you will need 4 skeins (they are usually very small) – we’ll knit with 4 strands held together. You can go with 3 strands, but the hat will be thinner and you should take smaller needles.
I'm using Kid-silk by Drops, you can find it here:
