Not usually the type of yarn I would choose, but I took a chance with amazing results. Introducing the 100% Superwash Merino Crochet Beanie pattern using Malabrigo, Washted in the Camaleon colour. One hank, and you are good to go. You can pick up yarn like this at Jimmy Beans Wool, too!

Size: Average Adult. This will shape your head and fall to the bottom of your earlobes.

Qiviut and Merino are warm, and don’t let the thinness of this yarn fool you. It’s like having your undercoat like the musk ox can survive the arctic temperatures.

How to do an adjustable circle or magic ring. Use 8 sc in the ring for this pattern.

Instructions

Tips: 

1. Due to the size of the stitches, it’s easy to skip a stitch accidentally. You may have skipped a stitch by accident if your counts are incorrect. 
2. The hat is worked in a continuous circle, with the stitch marker at the end of each round moved up to ensure accurate counts. 
3. The starting of each round is slightly different to prevent the growth of the hat from being obvious. 

Create an adjustable ring (magic circle).
