First time knitting Beanie!!!!

It was storming and raining for two days!!! Storming in april? What a weird wether!!! It have to be almost 90 degree by now in CA!! Anyway, I finally got my yarn this tuesday from "Kpixie"!!!! Look it this:

This is "Peace Fleece Worsted" yarn color in zarya fog(left) and Siberian Midnight. It was70% wool30% mohair worsted yarn. I love this yarn because its was 200yrd for $7.50!!!
Last month, I get a knitting book call "Heats Gloves Scarves" by Louisa Harding...I was trying to find some beanie pattern fora while. But in this book I finally find the beanie pattern!
This beanie requied Merino yarn but i used worst yarn instead of merino type yarn. The beanie looks like this:

Ooo! How do you like Peace Fleece? I have wanted to order them for so long. I love that they reach out to make a difference in the world. Is the yarn soft? Is it fuzzy?

Have fun with the hat!

Jason!!! Peace Fleece yarn has 30% of mohair so...it has a little fuzzy looks..but just little hair showing up when i knit.... This yarn is not soft as Knitpick "wool of andes". And little rough too!!!Like a hemp yarn
I think this yarn is great for the knitting beg or hat because it's rough like a carpet!!!

Joe~~ I recalculat my size to fit my head...because worsted yarn is much thicker yarn then merino yarn....So i made a less stitches and use smell needle to knit out!!!

Thanks JOE!!!

Oh, Charles, those beanies are very easy to do, you'll love doing them!! I don't know why the yarn should feel harsh... the wool and mohair combination should be quite soft. I haven't used Peace Fleece, but other yarns with that blend are quite nice. It might change a lot once it's washed. You ALWAYS wash your knitted goods after you finish them, right? Makes a big difference.

Waiting for the final pics!!
