Materials Needed To create this delightful hat, you will need Mountain Meadow Wool Alpine yarn, made of 100% Merino Targhee wool. One skein (3.5 oz/100 g with 260 yards/238 meters) in the color Dove is recommended, or approximately 240 yards (219.5 meters) of any light-weight yarn of your choice.

For knitting needles, you will need US Size 6 (4 mm) 40” (100 cm) circular knitting needles, or a set of double-pointed needles (DPNs) suited for small circumference knitting in the round. You may also use any size needed to achieve the correct gauge. Additionally, you will require US Size 5 (3.75 mm) 16” (40.5 cm) circular knitting needles, again selecting a size that matches your gauge.

Essential tools include a yarn needle for weaving in ends, a cable needle or a double-pointed needle for cable stitches, and a stitch marker to keep your place in the pattern.
