This hat is designed to be made with a strand each of bulky, sock, and mohair yarns. You can keep it tame or go crazy with the colors you bring together. And, here’s a secret, you can make it with whatever yarn you want. Two strands of worsted? Three strands of light fingering and a mohair? Just be sure your gauge is 3 stitches per inch.

Adult Small - Approx 18.5” knit/fits up to a 22” head

Does gauge really matter - in a hat, it sure does! Knit a swatch (I said it, well, typed it, but trust me, knit the swatch!) to test the combination of yarns with your tension.
