Materials

• Hook – 5,00 mm (H)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Yarn:

Elle Alula Double Knit 200g / 600 m / 656 yards – 100 % acrylic.
Weight – DK (11 wpi) 3: Light.

• 1 x 601 Cardinal 200g ball (I used 1 ball for both the scarf and the hat)

For the flower appliques:

Vinnis Colours Serina 100% Bamboo – small amounts (10 g tots)

• A – mustard 604
• B – Camo Green 641
• C – Crimson 673

Yarn Substitute:
Using the same type of yarn throughout the project is recommended. The pattern suggests DK yarn (Weight – DK (11 wpi) 3: Light Worsted), but you are not limited to this type of yarn. Any yarn can be used if you take into consideration your sizing for the project will differ.

Tension | Gauge

Gauge is NOT necessary for this project to be perfect.

Size

These are approx. sizes – these can differ greatly to yarn used. Measuring as you crochet is recommended.
Hat featured is the Adult Large – and this fits me and my teenage daughter due to the yarn flexibility.

Large Size: Approx. Length = 14 inch / 35 cm Width = 8 inches / 18 cm

Remember – if you use/choose a different yarn weight/hook size your hat will be a different size!

• This hat is easily adjustable.
