Do you remember one of those colder than cold days, when the ground is frozen solid and nothing seems to keep that icy wind away? This is the time to bundle up in this double mohair beanie!

Midnight Beanie will keep even the coldest of winds away with the tightly knitted ribbing and with 3 strands of yarn held together. I used 2 strands of Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair and one strand of Knitting for Olive Merino. You can also choose a single strand of dk to worsted weight yarn; make sure to have a tight gauge because that will keep the beanie snug and lovely to wear.
