The Woodard Bay Hat is knit in the round, with directions in this pattern for two sizes which can be made in DK or Aran weight yarn. The yarn recommended for the Aran weight version is Jorstad Artisan Yarns Arrandale, with a gauge of 4.2 stitches per inch on US size 8 needles.

The small size fits heads up to 17”-18” around and is 6-1/2” tall. The large size fits heads up to 22”-23” and is 8” tall. Because the twisted rib pattern is very stretchy, each size fits a wide range of head measurements. The large size takes about 155 yards.

BK Collective also publishes a pattern for this hat with matching mittens gloves in a DK weight yarn, Jorstad Creek Finnlanka. You can find that pattern here.
