Size:

Suggested Yarn:
You will need just 1 skein of The Plucky Knitter Primo Worsted, which consists of a luxurious blend of 75% Merino wool, 20% Cashmere, and 5% Nylon for optimal softness and durability. With 200 yards (183 meters) of yarn in each skein, this cozy hat can be comfortably made in shades such as Barely Birch and Smore Chocolate, or you can choose any other worsted weight yarn that suits your style, as long as you have approximately 200 yards (183 meters).

Needles:
To start your project, use a US7 / 4.5mm 16” / 40cm circular needle to knit in the round. Additionally, have a set of US7 / 4.5mm double-pointed needles handy for the crown shaping.

Notions:
Gather essential knitting tools to ensure a smooth knitting experience, including a stitch marker to keep track of your stitches, a tape measure for ensuring accurate sizing, and a tapestry needle for weaving in your ends beautifully.

Gauge:
Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 5 stitches per 1” / 2.5cm in Stockinette stitch, which is crucial for ensuring the hat fits snugly and comfortably on your head.
