Yarn Requirements: For this knitting pattern, you will need worsted weight yarn. Approximately 110 yards of the main color and about 95 yards of the contrast color will suffice. I personally used Quince & Co. Lark in the charming shades of Frank's Plum and Iceland for a delightful color combination.

Needles: To knit the Cassiopeia Hat, you will require US 8, 16” circular needles (5.0 mm, 40 cm) and US 8 DPNs (5.0 mm) for seamless knitting.

Gauge: The ideal gauge for this pattern is 18 stitches and 28 rows per 4” in stockinette stitch to ensure a perfect fit.

Finished Measurements: This fabulous hat is designed for an adult medium size with a circumference of 18.5”. For a snug fit, we recommend a 3-4” negative ease. Note: The Cassiopeia Hat is easily adjustable in both circumference and length, and comprehensive instructions for customizing the size to your preference are included in the pattern.
