Materials Needed
To create your Snowed In hat, you’ll need The Plucky Knitter's Plucky Sweater yarn, composed of 90% Merino and 10% Nylon, providing both warmth and durability. Each skein contains 270 yards and weighs 115 grams. For the main color (MC), choose Lounge Lizard for Child M size and Big Sky for Adult M/L size. Additionally, you will need one skein of the contrasting color 1 (CC1), High Cotton, for all sizes. For the second contrasting color (CC2), you’ll need 5 grams of 5th Avenue, which works well for both sizes. Remarkably, none of these hats requires a full skein of any color; even the largest size uses less than half a skein for the main color.

Achieve the perfect fit by following the gauge: 21 stitches and 28 rows in Stockinette Stitch, washed and blocked. This consistency will ensure your hat looks as beautiful as it feels!
