Pattern is written for super bulky/chunky but you can literally use any yarn - full directions are given for adjusting the pattern to DK, aran, even sock yarn! Great for exploring colour, using up oddments or showcasing different stitch patterns.Trying using two strands of Mirasol Miski or Sulka. You'll need just one skein of aran or worsted weight yarn for this wonderfully versatile felted hat.  Make a couple or more!  Try WLS Aran or two different colours of Natural Dye Studio's DK Dazzle for a striped or marled effect.

Perfect in Artesano Aran!
