This pattern uses a technique of dropping stitches and picking up multiple rows as if they are one stitch to create a braided texture. the sizes range from a baby size, 16 inches or 12 mos, to adult size, 24 inches.
All sizes use less than a full skein of Berroco Vintage, from 100-150 yds. The two color option uses about 100 yds of the main color and about 50 yds of the second color for adult sizes.

I have added a fingering weight version of this hat as a separate download.
It uses 150-300 yds of fingering weight yarn, with a gauge of 32 stitches by 44 rows per 4 inches.
