Sizes Available: This pattern includes options for both adults (22 inches) and children (16.5 inches), ensuring everyone can enjoy this cozy accessory.

Yarn Requirements: For the adult size, you’ll need approximately 180 yards of worsted weight yarn, which can be either wool or cotton for the perfect balance of warmth and breathability. The pattern incorporates three colors: you’ll need 40 yards each of color A and color C, along with 100 yards of color B for a vibrant, eye-catching design. If you prefer a two-color hat, simply use 40 yards of color C and 140 yards of color A. For children's sizes, sport weight yarn will work beautifully with the same yardage requirements.
