Finished Measurements

The finished cap measures 18½" [47 cm], making it a versatile accessory suitable for various head sizes.

Yarn

For this beautiful Wildflowers Cap, we recommend using Heirloom Romney by Fancy Tiger Crafts. This luxurious yarn is 100% Romney wool, ensuring both warmth and durability. You will need:

• 1 skein in Natural (Main Color - MC)
• 1 skein in Well Water (Contrast Color - CC)

Alternatively, you can opt for any worsted weight yarn to achieve the desired look. For substitutes, you'll need approximately 95 yards [87 meters] of the main color and 50 yards [46 meters] of the contrast color.

Needles

To create your Wildflowers Cap, gather the following needle sizes:

• One 16" [40 cm] circular needle in sizes US 5 and US 7 [3.75 and 4.5 mm]
• One set of double-pointed needles in size US 7 [4.5 mm]

Choose needle sizes based on your individual tension to achieve the correct gauge.

Notions

Along with your yarn and needles, you will need a few essential notions to complete the cap:

• Stitch marker
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
• 2" [5 cm] pom pom maker for adding a charming finisher to your cap

Gauge

It is crucial to achieve the correct gauge for your Wildflowers Cap. The gauge required is 19 stitches and 19 rounds = 4" [10 cm] in the fair isle pattern using the larger needles, after blocking for an optimal fit.
