**Yarn Requirements:**
Create your hat using sport-weight yarn (CYCA #2, fine). For the main color (MC), you will need approximately 50 yards (65 yards for Child S, 85 yards for Child L, 105 yards for Adult S, and 140 yards for Adult L). For the contrasting color (CC), gather around 25 yards (30 yards for Child S, 40 yards for Child L, 45 yards for Adult S, and 55 yards for Adult L). Our sample uses a delightful array of miscellaneous 100% cashmere stash yarn.
**Knitting Needles:**
To achieve a perfect finish, use Size US 4 (3.5 mm) double-pointed needles (dpns) or the size needed to obtain the specified gauge. A larger dpn for a loose bind-off is optional but can enhance your finished product.
**Notions Needed:**
Ensure you have the following essential notions on hand:
- Size US E-4 (3.5 mm) crochet hook to perform Emily Ocker’s Cast-on Method.
- 4 stitch markers (with 3 in one color and 1 in another color to indicate the beginning of the round).
- A tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends.
**Gauge:**
For optimal results, maintain the following gauge: 22 stitches and 36 rounds equal 4" (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. Ensure your gauge matches for a well-fitting hat (refer to the Note for additional instructions).
