Construction
The Zissou hat is worked in circular knitting, from bottom to top with 3.5 mm needles, working simultaneously a strand of Basic Merino and a strand of Mohair. The top of the hat is shaped with different decrease techniques to obtain a nice round shape. The beanie is meant to be adjusted, if you prefer a longer version with a little more ease, feel free to add some rows before you start the decreases. For size L, you might need an extra skein of Merino to do so.

Sizes
Size M (L) is suited for a 53 to 57 (56 to 60) cm [20.8” to 22.5” (22” to 23.6”)] head circumference, with a total length of 27 (29) cm [10.6” (11.4”)] when the hat is unfolded.
