This Deer Season hat features two reindeers crossing their antlers to make a sort of crown for the wearer.

You should be at a gauge of 36 stitches to 45 rounds in a 4x4 inch square. The final fabric knitted has a wonderfully dense quality to it that helps keep heads warm on windy winter days. I’d say this is an intermediate design; the most difficult part really is just the counting and managing floats. I find it best to sort of “bricklayer” them so that no two floats lie directly on top of each other which can create a bit of a “valley” pucker at the front of the work, alternatively you could be sending a secret morse code in your floats in which case you can disregard this suggestion.

I used Nature Spun Sport and needed 2 balls for the Main Color and only 1 for the Contrast Color. That measures to about 210-220 yards of MC and approx. 150-170 yards of CC.

Final dimensions of the hat measure about 9.5 inches from bottom to top and 21 inches around, there is a fair amount of give to the fabric though despite its tight knit quality so it can fit heads up to 23-24 inches
