Gauge: 12 stitches and 22 rows = 4”/10 cm in garter stitch holding two strands of worsted weight yarn together using size needle to obtain gauge.

Needles: US 11 (8 mm) knitting needle or size needed for gauge for hat knit flat. US 11 (8 mm) 16”/40 cm circular needles and US 11 (8 mm) double pointed needles for hat knit in the round. Adjust needle size as necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
