**Materials Needed:** To knit your adorable Badger Beanie, you will need 2.75mm / 2 US 16” Circular Needles and/or Double Pointed Needles. This pattern uses 4-ply Sock Weight Yarn, requiring less than 60g total in your selected two contrasting colours. The beanie shown in the example is knitted in the Large Adult size and showcases the exquisite My Mama Knits Choufunga Sock yarn (465 yards/425 meters per 100g). The specific colours used in the sample are:

• **Colour A - Witches Cape (black)** – approximately 35g
• **Colour B – Floor is Lava (orange)** - approximately 20g

Essential tools include a stitch marker for keeping track of your rounds, a darning needle (optional for weaving in ends), and a tape measure to ensure your gauge is spot on. Speaking of gauge, you'll want to achieve 9 stitches per inch in the checker pattern while the fabric is unstretched for the best fit possible.
