Size Options: Available in Size (1) for head circumferences of 44cm/17.3" to 50cm/19.7" (unstretched), comfortably fitting heads measuring approximately 52-55cm / 20.5-21.7". Size (2) accommodates head sizes of 56-60cm / 22-23.6". The pattern includes two delightful samples: Sample 1 in a stunning purple and Sample 2 in a vibrant blue, showcasing both sizes beautifully.

Yarn Requirements: For this knitting project, you will need the following yarn amounts: Main Color (MC) requires 171m/187yd for Size 1 and 202m/221yd for Size 2, consisting of Fingering weight yarn. For the Contrast Color (CC), gather 83m/91yd for Size 1 and 90m/98yd for Size 2, also in Fingering weight. The samples were knitted using 400m/100g of a luxurious Merino & Nylon Sock yarn blend, ideal for comfort and warmth.

Needles and Tools: Gather your tools before you start: You'll need a 2.50mm 40cm / 16" circular needle, 3.00mm 40cm / 16" circular needle, and a 3.25mm 40cm / 16" circular needle. Additionally, 3.00mm DPNs are required for crown shaping. Don't forget to have a stitch marker and a tapestry needle on hand, as well as a pom pom maker (optional) if you wish to add a stylish finish to your project.

Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit by following the gauge of 32 stitches and 36 rows = 10cm/4" in a colorwork pattern when using a 3.25mm needle. This ensure your knitted item has great structure and drapes beautifully.

Note: Please be advised that detailed instructions on "How to make a pom pom" are NOT included in this pattern. For best results, I recommend using the Clover pom pom maker size 65mm/2.5" as utilized in the sample projects.
