Gauge
14 sts and 20 rows = 4”
Set of 5, double pointed needles in size to get gauge.
A 16” circular needle can be used until decreasing begins, then switch to double pointed needles to work the decreases. Or, if you prefer, use a long circular needle and work magic loop throughout.

Please note: The stated gauge is MUCH tighter than this yarn is typically knit. The dense fabric created is necessary for the hat to hold its pointed shape without collapsing or drooping.

Suggested needle size

Please note: If substituting, choose a yarn with similar yardage that creates a VERY firm knit fabric at the stated gauge (MUCH tighter than the gauge listed on the ball band). If the knit fabric has too much drape, it will not create the pointed top, or the pointed top will droop, even if knit to gauge. If substituting another yarn you may need extra yarn.
