Materials
Vintage Purls TannaHill (100% New Zealand Merino, 396 metres per 100g skein) in 5 colours.

In total, the hat uses about 56g/222m of TannaHill for the slouchy version pictured.

It is advisable to have 20g/80m each of colours A - D and 10g/40m of colour E to be confident that you have enough to complete the pattern as written.

TannaHill is a woolen spun yarn and its meterage per skein is higher than some fingering yarns of the same weight, please consider this when using other yarns (use the meterage specifications, rather than the weight when planning your substitutions).

• 3.25mm 40cm needle or size that gives you gauge. Also double point needles or a long circular for magic loop in the same size.
• 2.75mm 40cm needle for ribbed band (or a needle two sizes smaller than the needle your are using for the body of the hat.)
• A stitch marker.

Modifications
This hat’s appearance can change radically with colour choice and usage. You are encouraged to experiment and play to produce an item unique to you. Use the Colour Your Own chart to develop your ideas.

Yarn Substitution
It is important (for a good fit) to use a non-superwash, mostly wool yarn for this project. If you wish to knit it in a superwash yarn be aware that it will grow significantly with washing, you would be advised to swatch and experiment with your specific yarn to achieve the correct gauge after blocking.
