This hat is a fun hat to make. It calls for 1 skein of 2 colors, but there is enough yarn left over to make another hat. This hat will fit a head measuring 20 inches, but if bigger size is needed, you could use a size 3 needle. I used Knit Picks Comfy Fingering yarn for my hat in the picture as the hats I make will be donated to Chemo/Cancer patients. You can use any fingering yarn that follows gauge. This would be a great beginners project who is new at stranding.
