The gorgeous texture in this hat is made using some of the simplest of stitches. While there are a few intermediate concepts, I believe you will have no trouble once you get the hang of it. I have also included a YouTube video tutorial to help with the most difficult portions of the pattern.

Supplies Needed:
-Super bulky weight (size 6) or bulky weight (size 5) yarn, 106-115 yds for the beanie, 55-65 yds for the ear warmers. (See pattern notes)
-Small amount of faux fur yarn for trimming the ear warmers (optional), size 6 super bulky weight version (NOTE: be sure you do not get the size 7 jumbo weight version)
-Size L 8.0 mm hook, or size needed to obtain gauge
-Stitch marker, scissors, tapestry needle, tape measure
