Approximate Yardage:

All sizes but the smallest are written to be slouchy hats. The 16” / 40cm size is written to be a beanie. This is based on my experiences as a mother trying to keep hats on heads in car seats and strollers.

Needles: U.S. 6, 7 / 4, 4.5 mm needles for working in the round(magic loop OR short circular + dpns OR just dpns) or needles needed to get gauge, and U.S. 4 / 3.5mm DPNs or 2 sizes smaller than hat for pomball

Notions: darning needle, small amount of stuffing
