MATERIALS NEEDED:

Yarn -
(Information on substitutions is given in the pattern.)

150g Aran or heavier worsted weight yarn. (Equivalent to approx. 315m/345yds)
I used Hayfield Bonus Aran with Wool for the top hat depicted in the pattern. I find this is a great thick aran weight yarn, and the 20% wool content adds good stiffness and texture, perfect for this type of project.

5.5mm and 5mm hooks
Yarn needle
Stitch markers
100cm/39in of 1.5mm (16 gauge) crafters/florist wire
Tape & pliers

Optional for Ribbon & Bow: 100cm/39in double sided satin or velvet ribbon
And fabric glue or regular sewing needle and thread
