YARN - You will need just 1 skein of Malabrigo Rastita, which comes with an impressive 310 yards (283 meters) of luxurious 100% Merino wool. The Yarnster is shown in the enchanting Lotus colorway, making it a standout DK weight option that you’ll adore working with!
NEEDLES - For the ribbing section, use a US size 5 (3.75mm) needle. Additionally, you may opt for either a 16-inch circular needle or a 32-inch circular needle if you prefer the Magic Loop method for this step. When transitioning to the body of the hat, switch to US size 7 (4.5mm) needles, again selecting either a 16-inch circular and DPNs or a 32-inch circular for the Magic Loop technique.
GAUGE - To achieve the best results, aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 26 rows, equating to 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. A proper gauge will not only ensure a great fit but will also enhance the overall look of your finished hat.
NOTIONS - Gather your trusty tools, including 1 stitch marker and a yarn needle, to help you craft this stylish slouch hat with ease and efficiency.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS - The Yarnster Slouch Hat features a brim circumference of approximately 18 inches (46 cm) when unstretched. It comfortably stretches to accommodate head circumferences of 20 to 22 inches (51 to 56 cm), making it a versatile fit for most adults.
