Supplies:

Yarn: worsted weight I used Red Heart Super Saver (acrilyc) in white, yellow, and pumpkin (orange). You will need less than one skein each per hat.

Hook: Size I for most crocheters. Note: I crochet very tight stitches and hook up 1-2 sizes for most patterns. I used a K for this hat.

Gauge: 12 DC + 9 Rounds = 4 inches (see notes below)
Finished hat measures approximately 9 inches in height with a 20 inch circumference.

Notes: I do not count the 2 chains at the beginning of each round as the first stitch. Because I crochet tightly, I frequently need to add a few rows onto hat patterns. If you need to subtract rows, be sure to subtract from the orange section or evenly from all of the sections to maintain a balance of color. You can also switch colors at different rows of you prefer a different ratio of colors.

Starting with white.
