Gauge: Achieve a precise gauge of 24 stitches and 26 rounds per 4 inches (10 cm) on size US 7 (4.5 mm) needles using the colorwork pattern, making sure to block your piece for accurate sizing.

Tools: You will need size US 6 (4 mm) and size 7 (4.5 mm) circular needles, both 16”/40 cm long, or adjust your needle size to obtain the specified gauge. For the hat, a set of double pointed needles (DPNs) in size US 7 (4.5 mm) is also required. Don’t forget to have a stitch marker and a tapestry needle on hand for finishing touches!

Materials: You will need approximately 180 yards (162 meters) for the hat and 250 yards (225 meters) for the cowl, all in worsted weight yarn. Here’s the breakdown:

• Main Color (MC; shown in white): Approx. 90 yards (81 meters) for the hat and 150 yards (135 meters) for the cowl.
