If you make the hat according to the pattern, you’ll need a second skein of main color. I managed to use only one skein by casting-on 2 fewer 8-stitch repeats. It came out to 20” and fits me great (21.5” head circumference), and it can easily stretch to 25”.

This is the first tweed yarn I have knit with that can be worn right on the brow without any irritation… highly recommended yarn!

Modifications to hat:

1. Used circular needles.
2. Cast-on 2 less repeats (116 sts).
3. Used same color for brim as motif.
4. Used a contrast color for horizontal dividers.
5. Continued fair-isle for top instead of solid color.
