MATERIALS

I used I Love This Yarn for this sample, but I have also made samples with other aran acrylic and acrylic blends, even some heavier worsted weights, and all made for lovely hats. As long as you meet gauge and are happy with the fabric, please feel free to make substitutions as you wish.

about 138 (196) yards of Main Color
several yards Dark Brown (for edging and pupils)
several yards White (for eyes)

all yardage is given a “cushion” and has been increased by about 10% to ensure everyone has enough yarn regardless of tension
(e.g. I only used about 125 yds of the Main Color, but the yardage I list is 138 yds)

5mm/H hook
scissors
tapestry needle

this is one of my first patterns! I have tested extensively, but if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me and I’ll do my best to help you out! <3
