Construction Notes

This trendy hat is designed to be knitted in the round, creating a seamless transition from the brim to the crown. To achieve the best results, be mindful of your tension, especially in the stranded knitting sections. If you find that your gauge is too tight while working these intricate designs, consider switching to a larger needle size for those particular areas to maintain an even tension throughout your project.

Yarn Requirements

For this hat, you'll need fingering weight yarn, ideally 100% wool or a wool blend (420 yards / 100 grams is recommended). The yarn requirements for the main color (MC) and contrasting colors (CC1 & CC2) are as follows:

• MC: 120 (140, 160, 180, 200, 220, 240) yards / 140 (150, 170) meters
• CC1 & CC2: 20 (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80) yards / 18 (27, 37) meters each
