Materials • Approx. 1.5 Balls of Aran Anti-Pill Yarn by Hobby Store, Aran Baby Cake Anti-Pill Yarn by Hobby Store • Yarn Usage: Approx. 150 grams • Crochet Hook – 4.5mm US Size 7 • Large – Eye Blunt/Tapestry Needle/Wool Needle • Stitch Marker • Measuring Tape • Scissors Gauge •18 SC X 20 rows with 4.5 mm hook = approx. 4” (10x10 cm) Notes • When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. • The hook called for in the pattern is based on what I have used, but it is not unusual for the gauge to vary from person to person. • Personally, I am a fair knitter/crocheter but you may check gauge once for exact measurements • If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook. • The Beanie is worked in one piece in joined rows, beginning at the end • Read the pattern carefully.
