The length of the hat can be easily customized by adding extra repeat rows, allowing you to personalize your creation as desired—detailed instructions for adjustments are provided within the pattern. **Finished Measurements:** - Small: Fits a head circumference of 20 inches - Large: Fits a head circumference of 22 inches **Yarn Requirements:** For this delightful project, you'll need two complementary colors of aran weight yarn, with a total yardage of 120 to 180 meters.
