Sometime simple is better. If you take a basic pattern and combine it with some luxurious yarn, such as Woolfolk, you can create something very special. Take for example the last two hats I knit. I am so happy with how they turned out. They were an easy knit and are wonderfully soft, warm and I can guarantee you, will get a tremendous amount of wear.
For extra notes on these hats check out my Ravelry page.
Pattern: On the C Train: my Ravelry page
Designer: Espace Tricot
Colourway: 02

Yarn: Shibui Knits Silk Cloud
60% Mohair 40% Silk
Colourway: Ash
Needles: 4.5 mm and 5 mm
Notes: This is a free pattern by Espace Tricot, a yarn store I have on my bucket list to visit. Thanks to Espace Tricot I am now hooked on knitting patterns combining mohair and merino yarn. I tried this technique with a pair of mittens designed by Tin Can Knits and I was thrilled with the result.
Next I knit a hat for my husband:
Designer: Olga Buraya-Kefelian
Colourway: 11
Needles: 4.5 mm
Notes: I knit this hat longer than written in the pattern so that my husband could fold the brim.
And, then, since my husband loves his Saku Hat so much I started one more as a gift for my brother-in-law:

I am such a big fan of Woolfolk Yarn. If you haven't had the chance to try it I highly recommend it. Trust me when I say you will love every minute of knitting with it, and your finished project will be so incredible you won't want to take it off. If only I could invest in a sweater's quantity. I need to start buying lottery tickets! But for now these small projects bring me a lot of joy.
