MATERIALS: For this project, any DK weight yarn will do, as long as you can achieve the correct gauge. The sample shown in the image is knitted using Sandnes garn Alpakka, a luxurious choice that adds softness and comfort to your beanie.

YARDAGE: Depending on the size you wish to knit, you will need 130, (150, 170), or 190 yards, which translates to approximately 119, (138, 156), or 174 meters of yarn. Make sure to have enough yarn on hand to complete your project!

NEEDLES: You will need a US 4 (3.5 mm) circular needle, either 12 or 16 inches (30 or 40 cm) for the ribbing, and a US 6 (4.0 mm) circular needle of the same lengths for knitting the main body of the hat. These needle sizes will help you achieve a perfect fit and smooth fabric.

GAUGE: To ensure your beanie fits well, aim for a gauge of 22 stitches x 27 rows, which equals 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm) in stockinette stitch. Be sure to block your finished piece to achieve the best results.
