This lovely hat is available for purchase as an individual item or as part of the complete Bobbly Bunch set, which includes a matching cardigan for a stylish, coordinated look.
Sizes: Suitable for ages 2-4 years, this hat is designed to fit a head circumference of 48.5-52.5 cm / 19.5-21”. For children aged 6-10 years, it fits a head circumference of 54-56 cm / 21.5-22.5”. These size options ensure a comfortable and snug fit for every little one!
Yarn: For this pattern, you will need just 1 skein of luscious Dream in Color Calm yarn (100% merino; 100g / 240 yards). The sample was beautifully crafted using the vibrant colorway Tang, perfect for adding a pop of color to your child's wardrobe.
Needles: Use a 5.0 mm / US #8 circular needle (minimum length 60 cm / 24”) and double-pointed needles (dpns), or another suitable size to meet the required gauge. Additionally, you'll need a 4.0 mm / US #6 circular needle (also minimum 60 cm / 24”) or dpns, which are two sizes smaller than the gauge needle.
Other Supplies: Don’t forget to gather essential tools like a cable needle, stitch marker, tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and a pompom maker for that extra fun touch on top!
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 18 stitches and 25 rows = 10 cm / 4” in Stockinette stitch worked in the round with 5.0 mm / US #8 needles after washing. Remember, taking the time to check your gauge can save you time later—adjust your needle size if necessary to ensure you get the correct gauge for your project.
