Pattern is great to use up some handspun yarn.

This is heavy duty, suitable for some of the worst weather, and quick to knit, easy also.

yarn: I used two types held together, a worsted weight 100% wool, and a textural hand spun wool. I estimate each ball was 3 oz or approx. 158 yards each.

Fits an average adult size head, approx. 19-23 inches.

Bead: I used a bead for the draw string, you need one with a large hole, I usually find wooden beads have the largest holes
