Fabric craft queston - any hints or tips when working with slightly stretchy material?

Long story short - I finally found the perfect solution for my hair, it's sort of a fabric tube.

Problem - Claire's Accessories have stopped selling them. Therefore, unless someone can tell me what they're really called, simplest solution seems to be trying to make some.

Gym - so I've been adding some yoga to my cool down on weight day, trying to increase flexibility and reduce injury. Supine twists, where have you been all my life? Of course, having loosened off some muscles that have been tightening up for ~ 2 years, the whole area is now sore. I don't think I've pulled anything, I think it's just a "unusual movement" reaction from my hip. Particularly my right one.

I decided to go with the mohair pattern, mostly because it gives me something to do at lunchtime while working from home.

Don't worry, I am also keeping an eye out for suitable boleros in case I don't finish it in time.

Casting on in mohair is a pain in the neck, but once that was done, it's okay to work with. The pattern less so. As per usual for patterns from this company, they assume you know what you're doing and don't explain things particularly well. So attempt 1 and 2 were both disasters but I think wrote the pattern out in a way that made sense to me and attempt 3 is going much better so far.

Knitting/crafty types - any hints, tips or comments on working with mohair wool? I have seen a pattern which intrigues me but I have never worked with mohair before.
