This was a lot of fingering weight ribbing for me. LOL!

I added about an extra inch to the main body of this hat because my husband was worried it wouldn’t fit. It is definitely too long now, but looks great with a smaller, double folded brim. I actually think it’ll be even better for our cold winters as it’ll keep ears nice & toasty.

The yarn stained my hands badly throughout knitting. If you don’t want black hands for the duration I recommend a pre-wash to get some of the excess dye out. Love the yarn, don’t get me wrong, but messy.
