Drumashie Hat Pattern

Lichen is a truly magical thing. Two very different elements working together create an enchanting whole that is more than the sum of its parts.

Like the Old Man’s Beard that decorates this mysterious pine and juniper forest, mohair lace and cosy sock yarn combine in a clever twisted construction to create an ethereally beautiful hat that is also snug, warm, and (thanks to the insulating under-layer) absolutely itch-free.

Sizes
Small (Large): 51.5 (57.5) cm / 20.25 (22.75) in circumference
Choose your size based on actual head circum- ference measurement. Sample is size small, worn with 2.5 cm / 1 in negative ease.

Yarn
240 (290) m / 260 (320) yds of fingering weight yarn
300 (370) m / 330 (410) yds of laceweight mohair yarn

Sample uses
Fingering yarn: Fyberspates Vivacious 4-ply, (100% merino; 365 m / 399 yds per 100g skein), 1 (1) skein in colour 605 Deep Forest

Choose a fingering weight yarn with a good bounce and recovery, and a fine laceweight silk mohair blend with a high silk content.

Tension
26 sts x 38 rows = 10 cm / 4 in in stocking stitch, using larger needles and fingering yarn, after blocking.

To achieve the correct fit ensure that you have the stitch tension correct for the stocking stitch in fingering yarn. The lace stitch can be blocked to size.
