Exciting news for knitting enthusiasts! The End of May Hat is now featured in the End of May eBook, available for just $9! This delightful offer pairs the stylish hat pattern with the matching End of May Mitten pattern, creating a perfect ensemble for the chilly seasons ahead.

This unique hat pattern not only stands out for its beautiful design but also appears in the renowned book, 1,000 Fabulous Knit Hats, showcasing its popularity and appeal among knitters everywhere. The End of May is a stunning color stranded hat that allows you to express your creativity while keeping warm.

Don't forget to explore the matching End of May Mittens! With just one skein of each color of the suggested yarn (only 2 skeins total of Berocco Ultra Alpaca, along with a little bit of lining yarn), most knitters will easily be able to create both the hat and mittens! What an incredible value for two complementary pieces!

For this project, you'll need 50 g each of two contrasting colors of Berocco Ultra Alpaca or any light worsted weight yarn. When selecting a yarn for the lining, opt for a soft sport weight yarn; only about 15 g will be required for the lining, making it an affordable choice to complete your set.

**Gauge:**     - Medium: 26 sts = 4" (10 cm)     - Large: 24 sts = 4" (10 cm)

The finished size of your hat will be determined by your needle size and gauge. For the Medium size, use US 3 (3.25 mm) needles, while for the Large size, US 4 (3.5 mm) needles are recommended. You may need to adjust your needle sizes to achieve the desired gauge for the best fit.

Additionally, for this project, you will need a 16" circular needle to knit in the round, along with some stitch markers and a tapestry needle to weave in those final ends. Grab your yarn and needles and get ready to knit this beautiful End of May Hat as part of your winter wardrobe today!
