This delighfully light and airy hat is as fun to knit as it is to wear. I held a strand of fingering and a strand of lace mohair double, but you can substitute a single strand of DK weight yarn if desired.

Needles: Choose the needle type for your preferred method of small circumference knitting in the round (16” / 40 cm circular, double pointed, magic loop etc.) in the following sizes:
US 6 / 4.0 mm and US 7 / 4.5 mm

Notions: (5) stitch markers, one of a different color for marking the beginning of round, tape measure, and a darning needle for weaving in the ends.

20—21 (21—22, 22—23)”
51—53.5 (53.5—56, 56—58.5) cm

NOTES
1. Wet blocking is an important step in making this hat. Skipping this step will result in a brim that curls.
