Materials and Yarn
The recommended yarn is a worsted weight (Category 4) yarn, such as Knit Picks Brava Tweed, composed of 97% acrylic and 3% viscose, offering both softness and durability. The yarn’s tweed effect adds a charming speckled appearance to the finished hat. Depending on the chosen size, approximately 95 to 240 yards of yarn are required. A 6.0 mm (J) crochet hook is suggested to achieve the gauge of 11 stitches and 11 rows per 4 inches in half double crochet.
Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Tweed would give a very similar look but with the added warmth of a wool yarn.
