YARN
Choose two contrasting colours of any DK! You’ll need about 20g for the Brim Colour and 40-60g for the Main Colour (10g more of MC for a fold back brim).
Optionally, you could hold a strand of Suri Alpaca lace or Kidsilk mohair lace together with 4ply or sport weight yarn for either the Brim or Main Colour.
The samples use Mamie and Florrie DK in Quayside (multi), Oklahoma (neon pink) and Victoria Harbour (deep pink)

NOTIONS
Stitch markers, tapestry needle. Optional: A pompom or pompom maker.

DESIGN NOTES
Techniques used: Long-tail cast on, working in the round.

NEEDLES
3.5mm (US 4) and 4mm (US 6) needles for your preferred method for knitting in the round (I use Magic Loop).
Always use the right size needles to match the recommended gauge.

GAUGE
