Yarn Requirements: You will need approximately 121 (142, 167) yards / 111 (130, 153) meters of DK weight yarn. Our suggested yarn is The Lamb & Kid Tod (65% Yak / 35% Cashmere, 150 yards / 50 grams). For this pattern, the size M sample was created using just 1 skein in the luxurious colorway Caftan. This high-quality yarn not only feels amazing against your skin, but it also aids in achieving a beautiful final piece.
Gauge Information: To ensure a perfect fit, aim for a gauge of 19 stitches and 28 rounds per 4 inches (10 cm) in the texture pattern with the larger needles, after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for the hat’s overall structure and appearance.

This includes size 6 (4 mm) 16” (40 cm) circular needles (or the size necessary to meet your gauge), size 5 (3.75 mm) 16” (40 cm) circular needles (or one size smaller than your gauge needle), DPNs or a 40” circular needle for the magic loop method in gauge needle size, stitch markers, a cable needle, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches.
Finished Measurements: Once completed, the Diadophis Hat will have an approximate circumference of 17” (20”, 23.5”) or 43 (51, 60) cm, with a height of 9.5” or 24 cm. With its stylish design and snug fit, it makes for an excellent gift or a cherished addition to your own winter wardrobe.
