This hat is fun to make. It calls for a skein each of two colors, but you can make two hats from those two skeins or another one of my hats. It will fit 20 inch head. If you wish to have a bigger hat, you could use a size 3 needle.. My hats in pictures are made with Knit Picks Comfy as I donate all my hats to chemo/cancer patients. You can use any fingering yarn that follows gauge. This would be a great beginners project new at stranding..
