This hat is a very basic beanie and could be knit in a variety of sizes and weights of yarn. The instructions are for worsted/aran, but one could consult other beanie patterns to figure out needle size and number of cast-on stitches if one wanted to make a different size or use a different weight of yarn. The “long life” symbol is worked as a separate piece and sewn on, and uses fingering weight yarn and size US 0 needles to make it as small as possible.
