Classic kits include Natural as the second contrast color. Bright kits include Aquamarine instead. Both include Apple Green and your choice of Plomo or Paris Night as the main color.

What size does the pattern fit?

The adult pattern is sized for a 19–22-inch head circumference. Check your gauge against the pattern before knitting.

Are knitting needles included?

No. The pattern calls for US 5 needles for the brim, US 7 needles for the body and US 7 double-pointed needles.

Where can I find yarn for additional hats?

Shop Malabrigo Rios yarn separately and use the pattern's yardage requirements to plan additional projects.
