Monumenthat
This cabled and warm winter hat is named MONUMENT hat as it reminds me of domes on
buildings. Unlike these architectural masterpieces this hat is a quick and easy project
and perfect to minimize your stash.
It is made from less than 25 g of Silk Mohair which is held together with 2 strands of
unspun yarn - also called roving. The resulting fabric is very light, super squishy and will
keep you very warm. If you have not worked with unspun yarn before, this might be the
perfect project to give it a first try.
