This hat hugs your head perfectly and keeps you warm and comfortable. It’s designed to give your ears and forehead plenty of extra cover, without being too chunky or hot.

Drops – Baby Merino - 50g / 175m (191yd)

60g (70g, 75g) of white yarn and 20g of the yellow and red yarn for all sizes. Please always reserve some extra yarn to make sure you don’t run out!

You can choose any 4 ply / fingering / sport weight yarn that fits the gauge. I recommend choosing a yarn with a cable-like structure that gives some extra elasticity, especially to the cuff, knitted with three colours.

Gauge:
25 stitches & 36 rows = 10 cm sq. in stockinette stitch with 3mm US 2.5 needles.

Please notice that this gauge is not the same than the gauge given by Drops for this yarn. However, with a lot of testing I have come to the conclusion that to achieve the gauge given by Drops one would have to knit very loose stitches. The gauge given here is knitted with light tension, not too tight but not too loose either.
