**Yarn Information**: For this delightful knitting pattern, you'll need Olann Grã Adare yarn, which is a DK-weight yarn that provides 250 yards per skein. This project requires just half a skein in the beautiful color “All For You.” Additionally, you may want to include one ball of contrasting scrap yarn for a charming pom pom, perfect for adding a personal touch to your finished hat.
**Needle Requirements**: To create this stunning hat, you will need US 5 (3.75mm) circular knitting needles, 16 inches in length, for the bottom ribbing. For the main body of the hat and to work through the decreases, you'll switch to US 7 (4.5mm) circular needles and also utilize double-pointed needles (dpns).
**Notions and Tools**: To complete your project, gather a few essential notions: a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds, a blunt needle for weaving in those pesky ends, and a pom pom maker. I highly recommend using the Clover large pom pom maker for achieving the perfect fluffy finish for your hat.
**Gauge Information**: Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for a well-fitting hat. In this pattern, the gauge is 21 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches in stockinette stitch when using the larger US 7 (4.5mm) needles. Make sure to check your gauge before starting to ensure your hat turns out just right!
