You’ll Need

• 120-170 yards / 110-155 meters worsted or aran weight yarn
• size US 6-8 (4-5mm) needles for working flat, or size to get gauge for small, medium, or large height
• a crochet hook and scrap yarn
• an extra circular needle (any length) the same size or smaller by up to a few sizes
• a cable needle (or work cables without one)
• a blunt yarn needle

The samples are in: Harrisville Highland (Mustard, 100% wool, worsted weight, 1 skein); Cestari Traditional Collection, 2 Ply (Natural Light Gray, 100% wool, aran weight, 1 skein).

Gauge, in garter stitch (blocked):

• small height: 20 sts, 33 rows per 4 inches / 10 cm
• medium height: 18 sts, 31 rows per 4 inches / 10 cm
• large height: 16 sts, 29 rows per 4 inches / 10 cm

Sizing
The three gauges, making three heights, will make for varying amounts of slouchiness.

• small height = approx 8 inches / 20 cm
• medium height = approx 8.5 inches / 21.5 cm
• large height = approx 9 inches / 23 cm

Circumference can be adjusted and custom fit to your head. The pattern gives measurements for small/medium/large circumferences for each gauge option, and also give notes on customizing your size.

Extra Notes

• Yardage depends on size and gauge; less yardage for smaller height and circumference sizes, more yardage for larger sizes.

• The whole pattern is written and charted.

• There are technique instructions and/or links to photo/video tutorials for all techniques used (provisional cast-on, cables, short rows).

• The simple cables used are easy to work without a cable needle.
