MC (white): 115 (140) yards; 105 (130) meters
CC1 (dark brown): 75 (90) yards; 70 (65) meters
CC2 (gold): 20 (30) yards; 18 (27) meters

The sample hat was knitted in size small using Blacker Yarns Ryeland 4-ply and Classic 4-ply, both made from 100% wool. Each skein provides 190 yards (174 m) with a weight of 50 g (1.75 oz), and you will need just one ball of each color: MC white, CC1 dark brown, CC2 light brown, and CC3 gold.

GAUGE

To ensure the perfect fit, aim for a gauge of 28 stitches and 28 rows to measure 4” (10 cm) when using size US3 (3.25mm) needles in the colorwork pattern, knitted in the round.
