You’ll need:
*yarn: I used Dale of Norway Hauk in natural (contrast color) and
black (main color)- one skein each, plus 20g sport weight Merino wool
or cotton for the lining, and scrap yarn for provisional cast on. (You can sub other colors
or another sport
weight wool if you prefer. You'll need about 100 meters (50 g) of each
color, if you keep your color use even.)
*needles: US 3 double pointed needles, or long circular for magic
loop, or whatever size you need for gauge
* gauge: 6 sts. = 1" in stockinette
* size:
The pattern makes a hat 21" in
circumference, which fits a 23" or so head wonderfully. Be sure
to have nice long floats so there is stretch to the hat, otherwise it
might be too small. If you're a smidge above of below the
measurements listed, using a different needle to change the gauge
would be great. Remember to keep your floats loose so there is
some stretch to the hat.
