MATERIALS

• 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles, 40 cm / 16” long. Same size double pointed needles (DPNs) for the crown (or longer circular needles to do magic loop).
  
• 4 markers.
  
• Tapestry needle.

YARN

Two strands of fingering or light fingering weight yarn in two different colours. You can also use a single strand of DK weight yarn.

• Colour 1 (C1): 235 m / 260 yards. I used Qing Yak Single in the Honeycomb colourway (brown).
  
• Colour 2 (CC): 225 m / 245 yards. I used Life in the Long Grass Fine Sock in the Andisol colourway (teal).

SIZE AND DIMENSIONS

One size. It fits adults and children over the age of 10.

Dimensions: 20 cm / 8” wide and 24 cm / 9.45” long (with the cuff folded).

GAUGE

30 stitches and 30 rounds in 10 cm / 4” in a 1x1 rib stitch (unstretched).

Gauge is not too important for this pattern as it’s a very stretchy fabric and it fits different sized heads. It’s only important to match gauge if you have a limited amount of yarn and you want to be able to knit it with the yardage given above.
