ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Skill Level: Easy & Beginner-Friendly

Size: This pattern was designed to fit an adult head (approx. 23” around). The finished hat when folded is 11.5” wide (measured at the widest part at the bottom) and 19” high.

Yarn:

For the Hat Body: You can use any red, size 4 (medium) and 100% acrylic yarn. You will need approx. 170 yds. I used Impeccable yarn by Loops & Threads in the color “Cherry.” This yarn is size 4 (medium) and 100% acrylic. A skein is 285 yds / 260 m and 4.5 oz / 127.5 g. I used less than 3/4 of one skein.

For the Trim and Pom Pom: There are two options:
You can use Pipsqueak by Bernat in white (or a similar size 5 (bulky), 100% polyester yarn). For this option, you will need approx. 50 yds in total (35 yds for the trim + 15 yds for the pom-pom). I used Pipsqueak yarn by Bernat. This yarn is size 5 (bulky) and 100% polyester. A skein is 101 yds / 92 m and 3.5 oz / 100 g. I used 1/2 of one skein.

OR, you can use any white, size 4 (medium) and 100% acrylic yarn. You will need approx. 125 yds in total. For this option:

• For the trim, you will use two strands at the same time, treating them as one and crocheting normally. You can either separate your yarn manually or use two skeins. You will need approx. 2 x 50 yds = 100 yds for the trim. (To separate your yarn manually from the skein, set aside 50 yds before starting).
• For the pom-pom, you will use one strand. You will need approx. 25 yds for the pom-pom. I used Impeccable yarn by Loops & Threads in the color “White.” I used 1/2 of one skein.

Crochet Hook Size: J/10 (6.00 mm).

Other Materials: Yarn needle, scissors, a measuring tape and a stitch marker.

Terminology: This pattern is written in English for right-handed crochet using standard US crochet terminology.
