An adorable little hat that will cover both the neck and the ears. It is worked with two doubled yarns: a merino yarn and a mohair yarn, except around the face where only the merino yarn is doubled, ensuring that no mohair fiber comes too close to the face. It is worked in one piece, in the round and back and forth with shaping in shortened German-style rows. Two options are included for the neck: a ribbed neckline or a built-in neck gaiter.
