Needles and Notions: To knit this hat, gather your tools: US 6/4mm 16” (40 cm) circular needles or a size that achieves gauge. For the top of the hat, you'll also need double pointed needles or a long circular in the same size. Make your ribbing with US 4/3.25mm 16” (40 cm) circular needles or two sizes smaller than your gauge needle. Don't forget your stitch marker, cable needle, and tapestry needle for finishing touches!

Gauge: Achieve a precise gauge of 22.5 stitches and 34 rounds to 4”/10 cm over stockinette. For the pattern stitch, the gauge is 24.5 stitches and 40 rounds to 4"/10 cm when blocked and unstretched. Proper gauge ensures that your finished hat will fit perfectly!
