The Homespun Hat is created to use all that beautiful slubby yarn you made when you started spinning. It can be knit with any yarn weight ranging from fingering to bulky. You can also hold yarns together to get the correct weight (and a cool marled look!) Because of this, I don’t have a specific yarn listed in the pattern.

Sizes: One size (adult)
To fit a head circumference of: 20 - 24 inches
Weight options: Fingering, Sport, DK, Worsted, Aran, Bulky
Yardage per weight: about 350, 300, 250, 250, 200, 150 yards
Needle Sizes per weight: US 3, US 4, US 6, US 7, US 8, US 9

For all sizes you will need either larger circulars or DPNs, in the same needle size to close at the top.

It is designed with a large, fold-up brim, but feel free to adjust the hat according to your brim preference, making the body of the hat shorter if you would like a smaller, or non-existent brim.
