I made my sister in law a scarf from this orange fluffy 10% mohair blend two years ago. My brother told me she wears is with an 80's style bomber jacket so I made her a matching hat. Just to annoy him.

I actually followed a pattern to the letter (except that I didn't switch to dpns until I only had 20 sts left). This was my first hat, ever.

Used a generic watch cap pattern (CO 64, K4,p4 ribbing for five inches, then p4,K4 for five rows, K4, p4 five rows and keep doing that for four inches, then start decreases until you have to switch to dpns, then do a few more rows and graft)

I see pictures of patterns and wing it.
