Gauge Information: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 22 stitches and 30 rows, which equals to a 4” x 4” square in Stockinette stitch using US # 6 (4 mm) needles. Proper gauge is crucial to ensure your hat turns out just right!
Recommended Needles: For this project, you'll need a set of US # 4 (3.5 mm) double-pointed needles or a 16-inch circular needle, as well as a set of US # 6 (4 mm) double-pointed needles or another 16-inch circular needle.

Yarn I Used in the Pictures: For visual inspiration, I used 100% acrylic yarns: Caron Simply Soft Color # 9730 Autumn Red and Lion Brand Heartland Color # 136-103 Denali. Both yarns provide a soft texture and vibrant colors to brighten up any cold day.
