Gauge: 3 stitches per inch using US size 11 needles in stranded stockinette stitch.
Sizes: The finished hat measurements (unstretched) are 16 (18, 20, 22, 24) inches, which correspond approximately to the following age groups: 0-6 months, 9-18 months, 3-5 years, 6 years and up, and adult XL. This versatile sizing makes it a great gift option for both kids and adults!
Yarn Requirements: You will need one skein of Malabrigo Chunky (104 yards) and one skein of a contrasting color in chunky weight yarn. Keep in mind that the largest size requires approximately 104 yards of the main color and around 40 yards of the contrasting color to achieve that fun, vibrant look.
Notions Needed: To complete this hat, you'll need circular needles in US sizes 10 and 11, along with double-pointed needles in size 11 (optional, but helpful for finishing). Additionally, don’t forget a darning needle for weaving in ends, scissors for snipping, and a measuring tape or gauge reader to ensure your project is coming along perfectly!
