Finished Size: This stylish hat measures 7.75" tall with a circumference of 18.25" at the brim, making it a perfect fit for most adults.

Yarn Information: For this pattern, you'll need Berroco Ultra Wool (100% superwash wool). Use #33108 frost (gray; main color), which requires 2 balls, and for the contrasting colors, you'll need #3363 navy (CC1) and #3350 chili (red; CC2), with 1 ball of each color.

Needles Required: A size 7 (4.5 mm) set of double-pointed needles is ideal for this project. Feel free to adjust the needle size if necessary to achieve the correct gauge.

Additional Notions: Don’t forget to have a marker, a stitch holder, and a tapestry needle handy as you knit.

Gauge: To ensure the best results, aim for a gauge of 23 stitches and 27 rounds per 4" in the charted pattern.

Note: This hat is creatively designed to be knitted in the round from the bottom up. Additionally, the matching mittens are crafted in the round, starting from the cuff and moving upward. Both mittens are identical, allowing for versatile wear on either hand, making them a great unisex option.
