Pattern: Beaufort Hat (pattern here). The author of this pattern has a really nice blog (more patterns!), check it out!

Yarn: Rowan Tapestry, this stuff is soft! I think it knits a little like mohair, or at least rips a little like mohair, I had to knit the top part of this hat twice (I made it too short the first time) and it was hard to take out.

Modifications: I had to adjust the pattern a little bit because the Rowan Tapastry is a dk yarn and the pattern calls for something in ww. I just added a couple pattern repeats and made it a bit longer before I did the top decreases and that seemed to do the trick.

Comments: I really like this hat, it is very soft and comfortable. I couldn’t make up my mind at first whether this yarn was too busy for the fancy stitch pattern but I have decided now that I like it.
