Mohair Knit Beanie - Gradient Geometric Pattern, Brimless, One Size

A brimless knit in mohair, worked in a gradient that shifts colour down the geometric pattern rather than banding across it. Brimless is a real decision: with no fold there is no double thickness at the forehead, so the hat sits closer to the head and further from a uniform.

What it is made of

A mohair-type wool and acrylic knit with a raised, hairy surface. That halo is what traps warm air - mohair insulates by the loft standing off the yarn rather than by the density of the knit, which is why a mohair beanie feels warmer than a flat wool one of the same weight.

How it fits

One size, brimless, sitting close to the skull and covering the ears. The absence of a fold means the whole depth of the hat is usable, so it pulls further down than a folded beanie knitted to the same length.

Where it earns its place

• Brimless, so it sits close instead of adding bulk at the forehead
• Mohair loft insulates by trapping air, not by knitting tighter
• Gradient shifts through the pattern rather than banding across it
• Pulls further down than a folded beanie of the same length
