This pattern is a great stash buster, and is suitable for home spun worsted weight yarn. The first (redish) example was knit with 100 yards of home spun merino and about 50 additional yards of Patons Classic Wool Merino. The second example (blue/purple) was made with a single skein of Loin Wool Prints.. (a 143 yard skein).

A Stash Buster--this hat is a great way to use up partial and single balls of yarn. Designed to work in Aran or worsted weight, less than 100 yards of fancy yarn can be paired up with a simpler yarn of a similar weight to make a tweedy, one of kind hat.
