**Materials Required:** To create your unique and stylish hat, you will need at least two contrasting colors. For added creativity and variety, consider using a different contrast color for each clue in the pattern—this is a great way to use up your yarn stash effectively!

- **Needles:** A pair of US 3/3.25 mm, 16" circular needles is essential for the main body of the hat.

- **Shaping Tools:** For the crown shaping, you'll also need US 3/3.25 mm double-pointed needles (DPNs) or an additional set of circular needles. Choose the method that you are most comfortable with for seamless finishing!

- **Finishing Touches:** A tapestry needle is required for weaving in all those pesky ends, ensuring a polished look for your finished project.

- **Stitch Marker:** Don’t forget a stitch marker to help keep track of your rounds and to maintain the accuracy of your knitting pattern.
