An extra-large, squishy brim is going to make this hat your go-to for the coldest days. The thunderbird inspires strength, power, and your adventurous spirit.

Yarn
DK or light worsted weight yarn, main color (MC) and contrasting color (CC).
MC: 100g CC: 20g

Note that worsted weight yarn may take more yardage/grams. I highly recommend having slightly more than 100 g if you are using worsted weight and planning a full 5” for the brim. 120g should be a safe amount. I used 104g for MC in my worsted hat (golden hat in first picture).

Needles
US5 (3.75mm) 16” circular needle
US7 (4mm) 16” circular needle

Gauge
4” = 24 stitches and 24 rows in colorwork pattern.

Finished size
Circumference of hat is 19” just above brim. The brim is large and very stretchy, so this hat fits most adult and teen heads.
