MATERIALS
To make all three hats, you’ll need…

2 skeins of Purl Soho’s Santolina, 70% organically grown cotton, 20% bamboo, and 10% hemp. Each skein is 328 yards/ 100 grams.

  • Color A: 1 (1) skein; approximately 200 (220) yards required. We used Peach Lily.
  • Color B: 1 (1) skein; approximately 171 (188) yards required. We used Well Water.
  • A set of US 2 (3mm) double pointed needles
  • A stitch marker
  • Optional: A pom pom maker. We used Purl Soho’s Pom Pom Maker Set in Small + Large to make a 1-inch pom pom for the Roll Brim Hat.

NOTE: One hat in one color without a pom pom requires approximately 124 (136) yards.
