GAUGE:

Gauge is very important for proper sizing of the hat.  Please take the time to check for proper gauge and adjust yarn or hook(s) size as necessary.  Many users of this pattern have noted they needed to go down to an H or G hook to get gauge and/or have had to use different sized hooks for each gauge measurement.

Ribbing gauge: 8 ribbing repeats (16 rows) = 4”

Crown gauge: 14 sc and 16 rows = 4”
