Sizes:
(S, M, L) to fit head circumference up to:

(14, 16, 18)“ / (35.5, 40.5, 45.5)cm

Choose a size 6-8” / 15-18cm smaller than head circumference. Exact fit is not crucial as the finished object will be very stretchy.

Sport or DK weight yarn, four removable stitch markers (3 of the same marker + 1 unique marker,) darning needle

Optional Materials:
smooth Sport or DK weight scrap yarn (for tubular cast on only)

Suggested Yarn:
Use any Sport or DK weight yarn of your choosing. You can also use fingering weight yarn held double or held with one strand of mohair.

I used an unknown single-ply sport skein from my stash.

US2 (2.75mm) - 16” circulars, DPNs, or preferred needles for small circumference knitting
