**SIZES:** This stylish hat is crafted to fit a head circumference of approximately 20-22” (51-56 cm) for sizes S/M, 22-24” (56-61 cm) for size M/L, and 24+” (61+ cm) for size XL.

**YARN:** To knit the Noen Hat, you'll need approximately 190 (205, 220) yards of DK or light worsted weight yarn. This consists of 150 (160, 170) yards of the Main Color (MC) yarn and an additional 40 (45, 50) yards of the Contrast Color (CC) for the folded brim. If you choose to knit the unfolded option, you will require slightly less MC yarn. The sample is finely crafted using Cloudborn Fibers Superwash Merino Worsted Twist, composed of 100% Merino Wool, which provides exceptional warmth and softness. The colors used in the sample are Taupe Heather (MC) and Espresso Heather (CC), perfect for a classic winter palette.

**GAUGE:** Achieving the right gauge is vital for ensuring your hat fits perfectly. The recommended gauge is 22 stitch and 28 rows = 4” (10 cm) in stockinette stitch, ensuring that your Noen Hat has the right structure and stretch.

**NEEDLES:** For this project, you will need a pair of US 5 (3.75 mm) and US 6 (4 mm) circular needles, preferably in a 16”/40.5 cm length, along with a set of US 6 (4 mm) double-pointed needles. Alternatively, use the needle size needed to obtain the correct gauge so that your project turns out beautifully.
